Hi from Brizzy

[rigga]

Hi everyone,

Just like to introduce myself, I'm Craig from Brisbane, and I'm pretty new to keeping reptiles, though I've always loved the little critters.
I got my first snake about three months ago. He's a young Bredl's Python and he's about 11 months old. I've loved having him around so much I picked up my second snake a week ago. A juvenile Jungle sold to me as a male but turned out to be a female. Got her at a bargain price too, so I was rapt. She took 3 pinkie rats a couple of days ago so she seems to have settled really well.
Tomorrow I'm picking up my 3rd snake, a 2 year old BHP, gotta say I can't wait . He looks great in the photos, hope he's as nice in person, but I don't think I'm going to be disappointed. I'm hoping to add some Central Beardies to the collection sometime in the new year, but first I plan to get proper housing for the new additions.
The best advice I got before getting my first snake was to join my local Herp club, because I've met some great people who have been a big help.

I think I've found a new addiction :lol:

Happy Herping everyone

I joined the QLD Herp Society, they meet at Bunya Park the first Sunday of the month. It might be a bit out of your way if your on the southside. I do remember seeing something on the tele about a club in the Springwood area, but can't remember any contact details sorry.
The BHP is home and I couldn't be happier, will post some pics when I can

Hey Rigga,

Great snakes you got there. As you probably well know, you cant stop at one. I have 3 snakes and it takes alot of convincing to keep it that way. Its so addictive isnt it.

So where in Brissy are you?

 

[Rediah]

Also, about a club on the southside, does anyone have any info on that?

 

[Ashleigh:]]

What do you keep ashs dreams?
