Hello you all,
Blimey! I rather should learn to hear to what my "wife" says and learn to read what she writes...
Guess she had already introduced herself and also me when having registered here...but that's not the case...
Well, what can I say that might be important about us?
Both of us are CB 1980, Martina born in Ludwigsburg in the -Mario called it "Ländle", myself born in Lower Saxony in a town near Hanover.
I hope Martina will write some words about herself (how started to care reptiles and so on
)
Myseld started in 1993 with keeping snakes affected by my cousin's snakes who kept several Python molurus bivittatus, Thamnophis spec and P.guttatus.
During the following years the stock slowly continued getting more extensive until a few years ago I purchased the first venomous snakes, starting with Ahaetulla prasina and Sistrurus catenatus tergeminus. But as you all know there are a lot of beautiful snakes and the desire of getting more is not to stop...
In 2005 I met Martina in a chatroom of a german snake-portal called "Schlangengrube.de". For the first time we liked us not very much but for a moment of mental derangement we arranged a date for a film in a cinema one day before Hamm-fair end of 2005. But neither I engaged her sympathy for me nor she engaged my sympathy for her.
Don't ask me how it did come but someday I got in my car and drove 500km from Hanover to south of Germany in order to rearrange her garden... And the story began... Mid of 2006 I asked her becoming my wife and in September 2008 we will marry...God bless our hobby...
We are proud we got a pair of C.ruschenbergerii two years ago and having last year the first litter of those...Unfortunately there were only two of five able to live but we hope best for future...
Most snakes are P.guttatus we breed in serveral colours. Some C.hortulanus, Boa constrictor imperator, Gongylophis, Python regius and P.obsoletus join the group of non-venomous snakes... With Bitis gabonica, Crotalus, Gloydius, Bothrops, Naja, (Dein-)Agkistrodon, Porthidium and some species of the old Trimeresurus-complex we have no solid line in our interests in venomous snakes...
Against the common attitude of a lot of German reptile-keepers we prefer keeping our snakes in natural designed containers... Unfortunately we have just moved so we were forced to build new containers that still have to be designed like our gusto...
In order to get inspiration for designing we often start trips on form of excursions to reptile-terrain in Germany and as far as possible throughout Europe. That's how a lot of photos have been taken...
Here I just remember something I want to ask you guys... We are always looking for photos of the natural habitats of our kept snakes... If anyone has some, feel welcome to send them to us
Now...to make a long sentence short... We are happy to join this portal and are looking forward to learn a lot about the snakes in the world...
It's wonderful to have found some guys that really know what they do and who do not talk whole the day about genetic of cornsnakes and all that stuff...
Back to the roots!
