My first snake was an elapid, I caught and kept a Yellow faced whip as a kid some 23 years ago, kept it for about 2 years then let it go, kept frogs after that untill 2 years ago, only got my second snake about 3 years ago, now I have around 20. Many of the older herpers kept elapids first as that was all that was available to catch..well at least those who lived south of the python rich areas.

My first was a 1 yr old coastal carpet. he was the most placid snake ive seen and i never had a problem with him

Most older snakey's from the southern states would have started with elapids. When i was a kid you couldnt buy snakes, you had to catch them for yourself. And where i grew up elapids were the only type around. Ahh, the good old days.

Wow. I guess back then though, $10 was the same as we value $200.

I think he meant 10 shillings, don't think the dollars were around then

I had my first snake, a diamond python called Dracula in 1987. A friend of my boss caught it for me because everyone knew I loved reptiles. I already had turtles and lizards. Unfortunately it died a week or so later and after it was dead, heaps of ticks? crawled out from under the scales. Must have been already full of them when it was caught. In the time I had it, I did see one near it's eye. I took it to the vet and they tried to get rid of me really quickly - they had no idea. Stood as far away from it as they could and used tweezers to pull the tick off. I asked them to check over it to see if there were any more and they said no, it would be alright. Well, it wasn't.

Atherton jungle he was an amazing snake..

My first snake was a hatchy spotted python . i still have her and will never willingly part ways with her. She is a special snake to me and my daughter as we spend alot of time together looking after her. Havent had many issues with her except for a snappy 6 months due to vibrations from a nearby fridge. 1st pic when she was younger and then 2nd very recently.
