I may have a new friend who's into herps and reasonably local (the Bronx)
she found me on this blue tongue forum (Mikhaila still wants one and I'm still open, but not now) and sent me a message. She's my age, has three kids, a bunch of lizards (beardies, a plated lizard, . . . ) and other pets, but only one snake - guess what kind . . . yep, she's got a garter. I'll have to invite her here.
So far I just pmd her back, asking whether we can meet at the White Plains Expo this Sunday.
This is exiting.
So we're not exactly next door neighbors, but the Bronx can be reached on the train quite pleasantly in the company of a good book
