in florida, when i wanted a corn i just go find one! but it did always , and still does, when i lived there, to see one squished in the parking lot because i knew somebody would have loved to have it and would pay all kinds of money for equipment to keep it happy. so you see, that puts me in an odd position.

if i could,i would fly my arse over to HABUs place and he would take me to the middle of the woods(please dont get worried at this point)or wherver,and catch some snakeys,i dont care where we went as long as there was lots of snakes,it sounds fun over there.and even though i have all day everyday to do what ever i want over here,i could really let my hair down over there.

when i first joined this forum, i was stupid. i was insensitive to the fact that people in great britain have a limited ability to go herping there. and even then, they have laws that restrict herping in the UK. people were disussing how to take care of garter snakes and such. things in my back yard. nothing special about them. getting in trouble for catching a snake was alien to me. and the prices of things blew my mind. i'd talk shop but it sounded like i was rubbing in the fact that i could and do catch things like rat snakes like it's nothing. i've lived everywhere basically in the US and have always gone herping where ever i was. so i've caught many, many things. for me, catching things in the field, like steve irwin would, was second nature to me. field work was half the hobby to me. but in the UK, that part was mostly missing. so i tried to share some stories about herping so that some could experience it vicariously. instead, i think it comes off as me bragging. but if you haven't caught a corn or king, you are missing something to me.

i'd like to hear your stories,as would the majority of the forum i think,so share your stoies HABU

[HABU]

no, it's like describing to a hungry man what your cheese burger tastes like. like me, if somebody from guyana told me about catching emerald tree boas, i'd hang on every word. but that's just me.

[aj2307]

i want to hear some of your stories,if people dont want ot hear your stories they shouldnt come in your thread lol

[HABU]

[aj2307]
