Hi to all fellow herp lovers!

[Akasha81]

Hi all,

I just happened to stumble upon this site while researching turtle ponds.

My name is Judy, Im 29, I live in Bowen, North Qld, and I have a 12mth old coastal carpet python named Akasha (hence the username)...She shares the same name as her mother, who incidentally lives in the same street and belongs to a friend.(yes I know Im a copycat).. I am so glad I took the plunge a few months ago and decided to adopt him/her. I am hoping it is a female, but I guess only time will tell.. Akasha provides many hours of fascination and enjoyment. I am new to reptiles but I love them and am keen to expand to possibly a lizard or turtle over the next few months/years.

Any advice at all would be very appreciated, and I would love to hear any funny or interesting stories as well..

Thanks for reading

Looks like you've stumbled on the right forum then Judy! Sounds like you've already been bitten hard by the herp bug. I can't help you with any snake questions, but most people on this site will be MORE than happy to offer advice if you ask for it. If you decide to get a lizard in the future, I might be able to help you out there if you need a hand with anything...
'till then, happy herping!
Nic
