Hello Everyone,
I joined up in May, but this is the first time I've been able to login so I thought I'd introduce myself.
I've been an animal person my whole life and have always had pets; hamsters, gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Cats, Birds, Tropical Fish, Tortoises, Geckos.....and snakes have all had homes with me, some from birth to the end and some only temporarily while they were between homes......and I loved them all!
I hadn't kept any reptiles since childhood and really really wanted to get back into it, so my long suffering OH (despite not being an animal person himself or having even seen a real snake before, let alone hold one) bought me a snake for my birthday this year. (He wasn't involved in the actual choosing of anything, or the collection....He just paid for it all )
So, I've been the proud owner of my gorgeous little corn Archimedes for nearly 3 months now and I love him to pieces!!
Here's a pic of him on the day I got him:

and here's a fairly recent pic of him (laughing at me)

Welcome, nice to meet you! My OH was much the same. He was sort of 'Eh, if you really want' when I suggested getting a snake, but now he thinks my amel is 'pretty cool' so I guess he's coming round lol
And that's a beautiful snake you got there - I love anerys :) |

Aww good pictures! My OH was similar although he went out, bartered and came back with an almost complete set up and snake and he was terrified! I knew nothing about any of it but was more shocked and grateful of the gesture tbh :) (I do love my snake it was more the surprise lol)

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!
My OH loves Archie now and talks to him through the glass! Archie has also decided that one of his favourite spots to sit, is on the top of my OH head....I'll try to get a pic next time.
I've been looking through the picture threads on here and I have to say you guys have some real stunners! I'm a bit of a stripe fiend, so I'm loving all the stripy babies!! .....need to get more viv's! |
