Woop Woop ,
After years of nagging, my wife has finally said that i can get a snake, but it must be a "small one".
Hi all, i'm Dan and if you can't tell i'm excited!!
I've been on this forum for a few years reading and admiring. I have genuinely loved reptiles, particulary snakes, since i was about 10 but my parents would never allow it. As a child i would take any opportunity i could to go to a reptile show and handle snakes often chewing the ears of the presenters afterwards , i love the feel of them, i also used to walk around my grandparents property looking for and trying to identify anything i could. After leaving my parents and moving in with my now wife i thought i was home and hosed, but she wouldn't allow it either until last week when she saw a friends yearling spotted python, secretly she loved it, so i left it a week and bought home a click-clack, told her what it was for and to my surprise there was no screaming, she simply said OK!
There are some conditions though, it must be a "small one" which doesn't worry me at all because the antaresia's have always been a favorite. I've decided on a Wheatbelt Stimmie, love the patterns and colours of these guys.
Will be sending my license application off tomorrow, hope it doesn't take to long but i'm not expecting miracles been a Govt department I've already cleared a spot on the shelf above the computer desk and will make a start on the click-clack tomorrow as well.
Who knows what this might be the start of, i'm already having bad thoughts in my head about enclosure designs and what else i might be able to sneak in, those Geckos are cute as hell........sssshhhhh!!
