			<description>Well, hi everybody, my name is Manuel but all my buds call me Manny because of the stupid kid´s show... still, I really like it being called that way. I am 16 years and really into venenomous snakes, my goal in life is to become a Biologist, study their behavior and maybe get to breed some species in captivity.



I lOvE rattlesnakes and actually, the only venomous snake I own is a juvenile Mohave desert sidewinder rattlesnake, which I named Kitty   because I also like cats but cannot own them  ...</description>

			<description>Hi to everyone,

I am French and live near Paris.

I breed some species of snake, and I am here to learn more about venoms species like Atheris, Agkistrodon, Cerastes etc.

My favorite between all of them is an A. Hispida.

My project is learning more and more to could breed them one day and other species, but especially this one (when I will be ready).

Why ? I don't know. His face probably ;-)



So excuse my english, I will do my Best !

Thanks

Thierry

at the same time Greets from Finland, a small introduction would be something like this:

Older guy who's main interest is in US made cars &amp; bikes, tattoos, snakes and dogs, my music taste is more on the heavy side, i also like to read a good book sometimes.

Married, no children, right now 5 dogs and some snakes... that's a short crude cut

Missed this topic, took a slow-start in some other categories first. GREAT WEBSITE!



Started with venomous a bit to young in my own opinion but today I´m 26 years old and yeah just getting older  



Today my focus lays mostly on diffrent vipers. Started up with Elapids but had nearly a &quot;year-off&quot; from all snakes form diffrent reasons and issues (Read girlfr, small appartments..).

Suddenly the issues just took of  and I was back on track! </description>

My name is Jan-Alfred, and I'm from Norway. My fascination for snakes, and especially hot snakes, started when I was 10. I stumbled over a Vipera berus, and it was done.



Now I have a A. contortrix and a C. mitchellii, and a couple of A. nasuta. Appart from that, I have some colubrids as well. 

I have kept hot snakes for 4 years now. 



Don't know what else I should write, but I am looking forward to learn and share on this board!

Somewhere in 1996 I started keeping bird eating spiders, but that was just te beginning.

After that there came true spiders like: Latrodectus spp, Loxoscelus spp, Cupiennius spp, Phoneutria spp, kukelcania and many more.

In 2007 I begon to keep venomous snakes (Trimeresurus fucatus).

Now a day's am keeping:

1.1 Crotalus enyo enyo

2.0 Crotalus atrox

1.1 Aspidelaps cowlesi

1.1 Bitis arietans (Namibia - Windhoek)
