I'm a newbie 
Hi guys and gals, i am a newbie to your forum and unfortunately having been an admin, super mod and mod on a lot of different forums (not animal) i made the newbie mistake of just wading into the deep end with my posts on "parthenogenesis" and "force feeding hatchlings" without first intrducing myself, i know from experience this can cause some concerns to long time members so for that i apologize.
So here it is.....My name is Ron and i live in Port Macquarie NSW and i am 54, i have had a long time fascination with reptiles particularly pythons for their emense diversity of types size and colors, i promised myself 1 day when i gave up the highway and could devote the required time to looking after a reptile i would become the proud owner of one, well that happened 5 years ago and after an exhaustive amount of searching and reading i finally decided on the coastal carpet python i lovingly named cinaman(because of her color) well it was more like she picked me as of all her hatch mates she was the only 1 not to have a go at me, rather she entwined her little coils around my fingers and stayed there contented so i figured she was the 1, in hindsight it was a very good decision as she has become more a part of the family than a pet and because of her beautiful nature has cured quite a few people of their fear of snakes, she is a gr8 lil "joe blake" and it would take an awful lot for me to ever let her go, i think over the next few years you will all see new pics of her as i update my album (lol see what i mean, i even had an album before i intro'ed myself) at the moment she is around 2m and as thick as my rather large wrist at her thickest before any food bump.
In the future i will probably ask quite a few questions of you guys and gals coz after reading your forum exhaustively i feel there are some very knowledgeable people here and i will get the best possible advice, and that is what my Cinaman deserves.
So there it is, my intro better late than never
