hi all,

ive been watching this site for quite some time now and have found it so helpful and informative and decided to stop being rude by peeking in on everyones conversations and start joining them

A little bit about myself:

the name is mitch and im a sound engineer currently working as a landscaper and i live in castle hill. Oh and of course, I love pythons
I have a spotted python by the name of Elmira that is a year old and I have had her for about 7-8 months. I have recently bought a baby jungle, also a female and as of today she is 1 week and 5 days old. Her name is still being decided though.

I plan on making the ole snake collection grow considerably in the near future cause they are the most beautiful creatures.

Just before I go, whats everyones stance on "you're not a true snake handler till youve been bitten". Cause I have now been bitten 4 times by my jungle and she is just under 2 weeks old! the spotted has never even acted like biting me.

Anyway hope im welcomed and good to be here. Speak to everyone soon

Mitch

Welcome Mitch, hope you have a great time here. I think the saying you quoted "you're not a true snake handler till youve been bitten" should be changed to "you're a slow snake handler if you've been bitten." The only time I've been bitten by a large snake was when I was complacent and wasn't paying attention. I've been bitten many times by babies and juvies but I don't try to avoid being bitten by the little fellas. I've been struck at more times than I can count by large snakes but I'm still just that little bit faster than my snakes. I'll probably get tagged tomorrow now

I always get bitten, I think it's part of having hatchies. My jungle hasn't had the chance yet, but both my childrens have had a good go at me.

 

[Hetty]

And that's a really interesting looking jungle, do you know the locality?

 

[gaara]

oh wow, that jungle is NICE. That's the kinda snake i'm after. Jealous!
