PostSubject: Hey from Belgium   Sat 12 Nov - 0:05

I'm Tom. And with a bit of delay, heres my introduction. Currently 38 years old. I read about animals and plants for as long I've been able to read and I been always been interested about the exotic, also what lurks in and around my own home. My mother whas never thankfull if I turned up from my nature walks with jars of spiders, frogs and other neet stuff, which I soon released after.
I've started out with keeping Thamnophis sirtalis in 1987. I knew from the start, I'm gonna keep venomous snakes too. and in 1994 I got my first venomous snake, a Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake Crotalus adamanteus, followed soon by all kinds of vipers, one species, for example I've kept for years the Moorish Viper Macrovipera mauritanica, and other neet stuff has been kept in my terarria, including Elapids.
Currently I don't have a lot of snakes anymore, because the laws in Belgium are getting stiffer by the day, making it almost impossible too keep reptiles in a decent way... I hope to enjoy the forum as much as most of you all do...

Cheers... Tommie

helo Peter,

Its indeed a long time ago. It where some turbulent years in the past (mostly in a negative way) for me. One of the species I miss keeping the most is Eristicophis macmahonii... I ones bought a male from you. I had it for quite some years, in total, I had six on long therm basis... Nice to hear from you again too!!!

Cheers...

Yes Tom,
I remember this! But now, since some years, you can got Cb of this very intressting and beautifull species. This will makes something easyer, not so much problems at all like in cases of the WC ones we all have had in the past.
And it sound very good to me, that you have keeped the male for a long time. The was imported in large No. in the past, and mostly they died very fast.

Cheers and maby we will meet in future again..

Ah, but I have golden fingers on that respect. I remembered the curator Franc Princepaud of Latoxan in France asking me for information on this mather. They had 2.2. wc, that not wanted to start off in the beginning. I helped him with succes... cheers
