:D One little incident and it's the end of the world. ;)

I wonder when my parents are going to notice that there are four snakes in the house instead of the usual one. ;)

[gregmonsta]

:eek: ooooops ;) put the blame on me ... just keep telling her it's my fault :D after all ... it's the truth ... I had a fantastic time seeing all the Snakeys and I have to tell everyboy ;) the Hedgehog snakes rock!!!! .... The red sided one is 100% chill and loves being handled :eek: and the blue is great fun :cool:

[Lori P]

Oh my gosh Inge, well, at least you got the escapee back!! So-- details, details-- what did you go home with Greg???

[anji1971]

My mother-in-law would have a heart attack on the spot if any of my snakes ever got out while she was over. She won't even sit near the tanks when she's visiting!!:D:D

[drache]

you did get the little snakeling back, right?
mom will recover
after all - she survived your childhood

[zooplan]

Tell her about all the scary big or venomous snakes, that can´t escape in your house because you don´t keep them:D

[gregmonsta]

Oh my gosh Inge, well, at least you got the escapee back!! So-- details, details-- what did you go home with Greg???
:D i got a Florida Blue and a Red-sided :D

[Lori P]

And we don't have pics yet because...???? :-)

[garterman07]

rico my snake escaped for around 2 weeks and my mom found him curled up in the bottom of a pot below her stove... that went over swell.

[gregmonsta]

And we don't have pics yet because...???? :-)

The good camera needs batteries :p and ... snakeys need to settle ... Squiggles is still being an oddball :rolleyes: ... and ... they have to get used to their christmas pressies too :D backgrounds, plants n bits of wood :cool:

[adamanteus]

Looking forward to those pictures, Greg. I have three of Inges' Florida Blues... excellent snakes!

[gregmonsta]

:) absolutely, I'll be going back for more lol .... It was fantastic to see such a beautiful collection of my favorite snakes :)

[adamanteus]

I wish I'd known you were going.... you must have driven pretty close to me on the way home.

[gregmonsta]

We' ll have to make sure to hook up next time then mate ;) ... offer stands if anyone happens near Perth in Scotland they're more than welcome for a visit :)

[adamanteus]

So Greg.... are you an Englishman living in Perth? I thought I read somewhere that you're actually English, not Scottish?

[gregmonsta]

:) Nope ... definately Scottish (and raised in Germany) ... I'm an English lecturer ;), think I mentioned that in a thread which you might have gotten the idea from.
:D I like to see myself as an earthling.

[adamanteus]

:) Nope ... definately Scottish.

Hey, nobody's perfect!:rolleyes:

[gregmonsta]

Lmao :rolleyes: too true ... if we were .... we'd be the leaders of all :eek:

rofl

[adamanteus]

I used to live in Scotland, spent many of my formative years there...... Arbroath, on the east coast.

[gregmonsta]

MMMMm smokies rule :) it's not too bad ;) I spent some good times on the beach and in the arcades there when I was on holiday from Germany once ... damn ... I've got smokie cravings now .... fresh from the smokers :)

[adamanteus]

MMMMm smokies rule :) it's not too bad ;)

Yeah, they were good times.... you guys love the English so much, I fitted right in!:rolleyes:

[gregmonsta]

Lol inter-british racism? ... my brothers doing his growing up in Guildford :rolleyes: kids eh ... hell, growing up in Germany and then coming back to Scotland was tough enough ... hence I'm more of an earthling :D.

[adamanteus]

Yeah, Earthling is good. I'll be one of them!:D

[gregmonsta]

I'll drink to that ;) lets make sure we meet up for a drink next time :D

[adamanteus]

That would be good, Greg. There are quite a few of us in the North West..... we should form a subcommittee!

[gregmonsta]

:D Most definately ... Garterworld :D

[zooplan]

Where do you´ve lived in Germany, Greg?

[Sputnik]

Udo, I think you should leave the country! There are now at least 3 regulars on this forum who have grown up in Germany but "fled" the country later on, lol. I can't remember if Rhea (drache) said where she was from originally, but I was born in Heidelberg and also lived in the Black Forest and near Stuttgart.

Don't you dare form a sub committee, James! Don't leave us Southerners out!

[drache]

Rosina
I'm from the Odenwald - Heiligkreuzsteinach - very close to Heidelberg
I didn't flee though - I was exiled

and I've always wanted to visit Scottland
but now I'm so far away

[gregmonsta]

Where do you´ve lived in Germany, Greg?
I used to live around Offenburg ... first in Elgersweier and then in Ebersweier :D it was nice ... I started my reptile obsessing there when I was about 7 . I would catch lizards and slow-worms and bring them home as 'pets for the night' ;).

[Sputnik]

Offenburg on the Black Forest's door step? I think those woods have a lot to answer for! I lived in Stegen, Dreisamtal. Those two years were some of the most intense of my life and probably shaped the way I feel about animals now. All those nights in the barn with cows, saving kittens, baby mice, bringing home anything that moved and simply couldn't survive without SuperEsther! :D

[gregmonsta]

Yup :) that's the right Offenburg ... the black forest and the countryside in general is just gorgeous ... I find myself missing the life over there every now and again ...

[drache]

I'm missing it right now, as I'm preparing for the big bash jewish christmas

[ssssnakeluvr]

I was stationed in Fulda for 2 years while in the army....loved it!!!!!
