    Raider from the North Country.

    As you all already know, I love the opportunity of meeting fellow Thamnophis.com members. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Greg (Gregmonsta). He came to visit me at home during his trip to Manchester.
    We had a great time... lots of snake talk and coffee, and a few photo opportunities!



    Me with a radix (of course!), Greg with a tetrataenia.

    Greg was happy to make the acquaintance of each snake individually, but I won't bore you with every picture!




    Greg with a concinnus (he wants one now!)




    He was kind enough to pose with all three tetrataenia, so that I could get the chance to show off how big they're getting!



    Greg is now on the gruelling five hour drive home. But at least he has his smart new car to enjoy en route!

    I enjoyed meeting you, Greg. Hope to see you again at the Thamnophis UK meeting in the summer, if not before. You're not bad for a Jock!
    James.

    Re: Raider from the North Country.

    Woohoo I had a great time ... and I managed not to crash into anything :P ... James is not bad at all for a partial Jock and his snakes, coffee and family were great (especially the snakes ... I have developed a rather nightmarish craving for Oregon's finest) ... and ... I left with a radix ... what a lovely snakey .... ... *running for the camera*

    Re: Raider from the North Country.

    Lovely to see some pictures of your Scottish visitor! Glad you both had a good time.


    Are those tetrataenia the babies from last year? Now I'm getting really, really worried... mine are tiny, tiny strings. They have hardly grown at all.

    Re: Raider from the North Country.

    Why scared, Esther? They don't have to be grown on so quickly. As long as they're healthy and eating, don't worry.

    Oh, alright, Greg. You can keep him! Love the name by the way!
