nice mate, I used to work at an exotic pet store and also Edinburgh butterfly and insect worlds, loved handling the reptiles and doing handling sessions for the kids.
I used to also keep and breed tropical frogs and toads....was brilliant pastime.

Yeah I visit my local reptile shop a lot love looking at the snakes, spiders, lizards, frogs, turtles, crocodiles etc.
I have young children at playschool and a lot of kids and their mums come over to see them and I show them what their like etc. definately believe the more exotic species are underrated in the pet world but I find them the most fascinating. My son loves them and always holds them when I get them all out.
Never touched on the frog area yet they do look well cool. Thanks tho mate :-)

I had a small Garter snake several years ago. It made the mistake of biting Jen's finger and died a few days after, but then again I do call her a Welsh Witch

Ha ha ha I have been fortunate to not have been bitten by one of my adults yet. I did get tagged by one of my babies that I bought last year, however at the time it looked more like a big earth worm on steroids so didn't really feel it

They are lovely, and have striking markings. I bet they take some feeding? How many have you got?

Ha ha ha I'd be polite and ask if you would like it rare medium or well done!
My wife understands but her face every time is a funny picture.

Those are beautiful. Only a few days ago I was holding my college's python and giving her a bath. We also have quite a few corn snakes there.

Well I have entered a great part of my snake collection and am currently incubating snake eggs and am very excited :-) Reminds me of the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where they open up the snake surprise and out of a big python comes lots of baby snakes.
