Hi All,
I'll start by saying I have to type quick. Why you ask, well if you knew my wife you would understand.
I'm 36 years old and a father of 3 kids aged 10, 12 & 13 (2 boys and a girl). I live in the western suburbs of Melbourne and have always wanted to get into Herps.
For 14 yeasr I have asked my wife if I could get a snake and she basically said (from memory) and I quote, "Get real, over my dead ?$%&@# body". or words to that effect.
Anyway I have a mate who uses APS (nixneuer) who has a lot to answer for. He has gotten me into this rather addictive hobbie or should I say lifestyle.
Anyway I applied for my permit and a day after I went to Afro's house with nix and had a look at a 12 month old Childreni (now called Monty). I explained to Afro that I was waiting on my permit but really wanted Monty (who came with a small enclosure as well). He said that it was no problems and that when the permit came to come back and we would fix it all up. ????????? 5-6 weeks later the permit arrived and I picked up Monty.
Afro you are one of the most patient, informing and genuine nice bloke's I have met and I thank you for the time you allowed myself and the kids.
Getting back to my wife. I did everything behind her back and bought a small enclosure from nix and hid it in the shed. Well my wife found it and did not say anything to me. (this was the most scariest part/my wife is only 5'2" in height but as with any women - well you guys don't need it explained to you - you women might)
The wife is fine now. As long as it is not iide and remains in the shed next to my t.v. and d.v.d., bar, pot belly stove etc etc etc. The kids well they love it and I can only hope that all 3 take herps up totally. AS LONG AS THEY PAY FOR THEM THEMSELVES.
Sorry about the long intro. Hi Bek, Nixneuer, Afro etc etc etc
