Hello from Florida USA - Page 2

kismetc · 04-20-07, 12:18 AM

I checked out your myspace blog and sent you a request to add me as a friend there. I haven't set up much of a profile there yet, but I wanted to let you know that my username there is chausies (same as I use on most other forums, before I decided to use kismet colubrids as my snakery name.)

Oh, and I'd love to go to that Tampa expo but I have SO much homework and studying to do this weekend

. In a few weeks I'll have more freetime to do things like that again. I LOVE going to the expos, but I'm trying to keep my collection fairly small and I just KNOW that I will fall in love with snakes

that I should not buy, lol. If I had the space and time, I'd probably have a few hundred snakes

. (Well, I guess if I had a few hundred snakes then I would be minus one hubby, so I might have the room for them

.)

well, take care.

Wow, you're right by me! Let me know if you want to carpool to any of the Florida Get-Togethers we have. I've made it through all the expos so far without buying anything. I actually _was_ going to look for a Rosy Boa at the next one, but then I met this little lavender cornsnake, and now I don't have any vacancies...

Don't worry about not making this show. There is another in July in Orlando and the big show in Daytona in August. Hopefully we will all get a chance to meet up at one of those!

Plus we're doing another Serpentarium trip, and maybe a field herping trip.

Ooh, I definitely want to make the Daytona show this year (I missed last years.)

And field herping sounds like fun, I have not gone out intending to catch snakes in a very long time. I always seem to just stumble on them. Ratsnakes invaded my mousery (until I got a totally secure building) and the only cornsnake that I did not buy was found in my sons bedroom. My husband saw a snake that looked like one of mine and he nonchalantly picked it up to hand to me - I quickly told him THAT's not mine. He had a worried looked at that point, lol. Fortunately it WAS a cornsnake, nothing dangerous, but my husband wouldn't know until it was too late. He once brought me a ringneck snake thinking it was one of mine

, which looked nothing like any of my snakes IMO lol.

Oh, and what is a Serpentarium trip?

take care, charlene

Reptile World Serpentarium, in St. Cloud (kind of north west of Orlando) has a bunch of snakes on display, a lot of venomous snakes, and is a working venom farm. The guy does a show a couple times a day where he milks a few snakes for venom. Sounds sort of boring, but really it's cool when he gets them out and just sets them on his table. The cobras are really, really alert. Oh, and there's a big King Cobra there.

Lakeland here.
I can't say anything Nanci, Joe, or Katy haven't already said. But I do hope you can make some of the outings.

Wow, sounds like you guys have a lot of fun! I'd love to visit the Reptile World Serpentarium one day, I've never seen anything quite like that. I'd definitely like to participate in some of your get-togethers.

take care, charlene

We'll keep ya informed on the trip. I've been going to RWS for over 25 years. George is a good guy to know. He'll help anyway he can...
