newbie to the forum

[ryan w]

hi all, my name is Ryan. I'm from the u.k. I'm 33 yrs old and have been keeping inverts and reptiles since my 10th birthday. Currently I keep t.ockerti, g.pulchripes, c.cyaneopubescans, h.villosella. A flag tailed centipede, Asian forest scorpion and shed loads of reptiles and amphibians

Welcome to the forum, we are happy to have you here.

What reptile do you have? I use to have a lot but had to re-home all but 2 for my upcoming move.

 

[ryan w]

a retic, sharp strain boa, western hognose, mexi bairds rat, Texas rat, Brazilian rainbow boas, corns and royals. A couple of beardies, a Yemen chameleon and various frogs and toads.

Hi Ryan and welcome. I'm in the UK too, in fact there are quite a few of us on here.

 

[ryan w]

thanks, I'm enjoying the forum so far. I find the uk tarantula specific forums abit stagnant, even the invert section of rfuk is slow going these days

 

[Enn49]

RFUK was always more snake orientated but it got very *****y.

 

[tarantulaguy1994]

I am guessing you really like snakes too?

 

[ryan w]

Yes, can be petty, also, it should be called the royal python forum now, I tend to just browse the classifieds on it now if I'm after something specific, where as I use to have a good scan of the whole forum daily. Royals aren't really my thing, we have two but they're my partners.

And yes tarantula guy, I like snakes! What gave that away lol. They are my true passion, but it started with arachnids. Got a good old chile rose for my tenth birthday. She's still around now, although not in my care. She was a juvie then so would estimate her being about 25 yrs old!!!

Hi welcome to the forum am sooo jealous that you had a Chilean rose at the age of 10 I might not be as addictive that I am now lol

 

[tarantulaguy1994]

I like reptile too, but tarantula have me.

@ryan w I too used to be on there a lot but I had to sell all my snakes a few years back and now just have 1 royal. It's much more friendly on here.
