I'd love to see them in the wild mack . Especially a huge nest of them, coming out of hibernation . I'd grab handfuls .

This thread made me look at snakes for sale . I looked at a place that sells them in Birmingham.  

It was absolutely amazing to see the stunning snakes that you can buy now, and the coloured variants . You should have seen some of the royal pythons on the website , they just blew me away.

When I last kept snakes . Some of the experts were just starting to understand  and mess around with genetic mutations , but f**k me you should see them now.

I've got two spare rooms now , and could afford to build and fill the snake room that I always wanted .

When I first bought a royal python , you still had the choice of captive bred , or wild snake. 

Oh my God,I want to see a hibernaculum as well,some day I have seen 15-20 garters when out and about,I have seen loads of snakes in the wild,king cobras and pythons and all sorts,I have seen komodo dragon in the wild.I have seen some of the genetic mutations at at a reptile store in LA,you should get some mate,and tarantulas.

That garter is as cute as any piglet fawn or foal mack.

I've kept tarantulas , scorpions,  lizards etc , but snakes were always my favourite.  They're just such amazing creatures. How can something with no arms and legs thrive in the way that they do . They climb trees , they swim , they kill and eat prey many times bigger than their own head. Just amazing.

There’s loads of garter snakes here mate,my dream is to see the thousands that emerge from a hibernaculum after a hard winter,if you get some more snakes stick a pic up.

That would be like finding gold mack.

My snake room is just a dream ( i think). Looking at that shop in Birmingham earlier, I could have happily bought every royal that they had. They were stunning.
