My First Snake!!

[CrazyHedgehog]

Not sure if this is the right place for this.. I am sure someone will move it if not,
But I found this from my flat in Bangor..April 1989 (my dad kindly wrote dates on pics)
This was one of my first snakes, Skol, :D

My first snake was a water snake. Not a very good snake for beginners but because of it, getting bit by snakes never seemed to bother me.

Nice "flock of seagulls" haircut. :D

I was thinking how the hair and sweater brought back memories. *everyone* was wearing those ribby knit mall sweaters.

Not I. Always hated sweaters. Still do. But if it makes you feel any better Inge, my hair wasn't much different just 2 years earlier than the date of that picture.:o

Always nice to dig up some old memories!

The oldest picture I have of myself with a snake, shows me holding a WC CA King in 1983 right after we moved from WA to San Diego. Or rather, the snake was holding me. It was wrapped around my neck and holding on. Looked like I was wearing a necklace. I had just found it near the back porch and mom happened to be outside with a camera handy. Sadly, no pics of me with my garters before that.:( If they exist, they're buried in my parents' crap somewhere.

What sort of viv did you keep it in?

What sort of viv did you keep it in?

was a 2 foot glass fish tank, a doorman and work made me a wooden lid with loads of drill holes and a basic bulb light fitting at one end, mostly on a diet of worms and frozen whitebait (I know - whitebait!! :eek: but that's what the shop recommended and it was in the days before the internet!!)
