Hello there

[mark cope]

Hello there,
I'm mark live in Hertfordshire,UK, New to the hobby got into it a couple of weeks ago, It was my sons 7th birthday and he wanted a terrapin , but the shop did not have any then he saw a garter snake(eastern) and asked if he could have that instead, so we got it for him, and after helping him to look after it sort of got the bug and bought myself a king snake,
As I said we're both new to the hobby so you'll probably have to put up with a lot questions from us

hope to speak to you soon ,
Mark and Joe(son)

Welcome to the forum Mark and Joe! Thanks for sharing a pic of your son and his garter...perhaps your young son could speak to my nine-year-old son about getting over his fear of our garters! :D If you have any questions, we will be happy to help. Look forward to getting to know you.
