Kurt if your concerned put on a jacket and some leather riggers gloves. That way if it does bite, it dont bite you. It is a way i use when sussing out big bhp's i'm not sure on ( after they get home ).

This is combined answers for Mel and BobTheBuilder:
1. When did you first start getting interested in reptiles?
Mel: Only 4 or 5 years ago. I'd always lived on a farm in Tassie, so snakes were 'bad'. It wasn't until I moved to Queensland and encountered some pythons as pets that I instantly fell in love with the idea.
Bob: I had always been curious, but never really entertained the idea of keeping them. After Mel got into them, I came to love them really quickly.
2. What was your first reptile?
Mel: My first reptile was a yearling Maculosa that I got from Bruce Riddel in Marsden, Qld. He is THE best little python.
Bob: My first reptile was a young Stimpsons python. He was a troubled child, and wasn't the best feeder. Despite this, he turned out to be an awesome little python. An excellent handler and a voracious eater.
3. What is your favourite reptile?
Mel: I love Black Heads. They stole my heart at the Brisbane Aquarium and Reptile show some years ago.
Bob: Black and Gold Jungle Pythons
4. What sort of work do you do?
Mel: I'm a Psychology Lecturer for Charles Sturt University.
Bob: Naval Architect/Engineer. My main work revolves around design and survey approval of commercial vessels.
5. What is the best reptile you have bred, or would like to breed?
Mel: I have only bred Maccy's, but they were pretty damn good, even if I do say so myself. I'd like to breed BHP one day.
Bob: Have bred Maccies, but would like to breed B&G Jungles.
6. Who is your most influential herpetologist?
Mel: Don't really know. I can't say that I've really pinned it down.
Bob: Probably Bruce Riddel, for starting us on the path with our first python with no problems. Also, Paul Berridge for good advice and help whenever we need it. Paul reminds you that there are good honest people in the hobby.
7. What was the most distressing time regarding your reptiles?
Mel and Bob: That is an easy one, unfortunately. Last year, I bought a python from interstate, and she had mites. Despite our best efforts, they spread to my most favourite python, and she became very, very ill, and almost died.
Unfortunately, we're going through that drama again. After buying 2 pythons 2 weeks ago, they have turned up as having mites. They are quarantined in another area of the house (from the rest of our collection), but as you all know, it's still a MAJOR drama. Daily cleaning, frequent bathing, chemical treatments, washing, etc, etc. Plus, they were bought for breeding purposes, and they'll be no good for that this year now.
We are going to sit down soon and write a really in-depth article on ticks and mites in snake collections. Anyone out there who has any info, statistics, pics or personal experience that they'd like to share, we'd really appreciate hearing from you, to ensure that our article is as complete as possible. Just PM Mel, or email [email protected]
Cheers

Re: About Me
1. When did you first start getting interested in Reptiles?
Year 11/12, my older brother was thinking of getting one which got me started thinking 'bout it too but it wasn't until 2003 when I actually got one. (my brother incidentally, is afraid of my boy :lol: misunderstanding on his part but he won't try holding the snake again!)

6.You're most infuential herpetologist?
Jeff Corwin. I absolutely luv him. So funny! Also John Weigel, learnt lots from his books
7.What was the most distressing time regarding your reptiles?
When the light heating his enclosure died (no the bulb didn't blow :roll: ) I couldn't get a sparky round for a week. I'd just gotten my python so was afraid (paranoid) that I'd end up killing him. The light dying didn't help me at all
