    A proper introduction.

    I question post isn't the best way to introduce myself. So I'm a college student who's been ADDICTED to reptiles since I was a kid. I haven't had any in at least 7 years. Parents wouldn't let me keep them in high school and my first few years of college was no place for a reptile. After doing years of research I jumped back in and bought 4 Green Tree Pythons. (Which I'm waiting to get, I just have a few last touches on the rack I built for them) Then quite by accident I ran across Florida blue garters, and was instantly hooked. It just so happened was an adult pair in the classifieds later that week......So I did what any reasonable person would have...bought them...lol. In a matter of about a month I went from no snakes to 6. . I would post pictures of my garters, but currently I don't have a proper working camera, I'll have to barrow one. The puget garters were from Bob, and to my surprise took food the night I got them Lucky Me

    P.S. I plan on breeding these gorgeous animals. Hopefully it will help drive down the demand for the wild caught specimens.

    Re: A proper introduction.

    Welcome again Bryan.

    Have you sprayed them with Mite medicine yet?

    I'll send you an e-mail in a little while. I hope you don't mind. I added you to my "snake friends" address book

    Your thread over at "the other place" stirred up a Little emotion, and I would like to share with you what happened to another member from "there" who sent me a private email after reading our discussion.

    Your Proper introduction was nice

    can't wait to see those pictures!

    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
