Ain't no snakes where I am

[snake_freak]

Hi my name is Mike. Im 22. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa but moved to New Zealand when I was 17 with my parents. I've always missed keeping snakes since leaving SA and always hated NZ since I arrived here (mostly because there are virtually no reptiles here and definetly no snakes).

I started keeping snakes when I was 11 and worked part time in the reptile dept. at a zoo in Cape Town for 3 years before I left. At the moment all I've got is a genetically deformed blue tongue skink that cost me $500 :shock: (note to other herpers: If you like keeping reptiles - New Zealand is not the place to be). Now that I have finished my undergrad. studies in NZ I've decided to continue with herpetology both professionally and for the fun of it, and Australia seems like that place to be if you're a herpetologist.

So I thought I'd join this site to see what's up and what the herp life is like in Oz.

Cheers

Mike

Maybe no snakes but I've seen some pretty cool geckoes from New Zealand. Some young green with yellow flecks.

I dunno how to put a link to another thread so if that doesn't work do a search for "new and zealand and gecko". They look so cool. I would have one if possible over there.
Oh and welcome to the site.

Make the move. The Suth Ifriken/New Zullind accent might be interesting.
