hi everyone, i havent long moved down to new addington in croydon, surrey and i was wondering if any other members lived in the area as i would like to make more friends down here that love snakes as much as i do.
also does anyone know of any clubs around here to do with keeping snakes as ive heard about them but cant seem to find one.
thanks all |

lol, ok, no im thinking that if the surrey meets successful, then maybe it will pave the way for more clubs to pop up in other parts of the country by leading by example |

Hear hear, I'm addicted to snakes now! I wish there were more reptile shows and clubs about, there's loads for dogs and horses and bird fanciers! Should at least have an annual TCS meeting lol |

If anyone freaks because I have snakes I just tell them how lovely they are and maybe they should do a bit more 'homework' before spouting nonsense about them eating me, strangling me or killing me with their venom!!!
I also point out that I can have the best free massage when ever I like, better than anything a beauty therapist can give.....
I find that keeping any sort of reptile tends to bother a lot of people. Shame because they really are so awesome. Still it's their loss, we are the lucky ones who know the essence of snakes.  |

ok yh the fact that there are people out there that done like and are scared of snakes, but just because we keep them as pets, should we be shunned by it, i know that the fact of how people think about snakes makes keeping them more personal but still, in my opinion we should and the snakes should be accepted by other people and not have noses stuck up to us |

Ilovmypets1988 - if everyone loved and had snakes then in my opinion half of the fun would be gone. One of the best aspects of snake keeping is that lots of people are scared of them and i find it quite funny.
Gaz
I agree with that totally  LOL! I used to be one of those scared people myself, so thats one down |

I know what you mean, I got endless amounts of horror struck expressions when I got Vin, and I've had a bucketload more since I decided to get a python in the upcoming summer, its a shame that people can often be so harsh, I've had people ask if "it" has a name and why I've bothered giving "it" a name because "its not a proper pet"! It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad really x |

im sorry to here that newbie, maybe 1 day, the planet will readily accept the fact that these animals are as majestic as cats and dogs or may even be more majestic,, i wish that there was a way upon which we as a group could do something to help every1 understand that these snakes (regardless of which type) are living works of art with there colours and markings and accept that they are no more harmful than a typical dog, infact theres more injuries caused by the "typical pet" meaning cats and dogs than there is with snakes |

I'm all out on a limb up north  hardly any snake lovers up here! Or so it seems anyway, anyone I tell about Vin goes "Urrrkk!" which is a bit hurtful! Maybe other snakey owners here have learned to keep quiet so they don't have to justify having a beautiful snake! x |
