Hello my name is Michael Couture
I'm new to this forum and most forums in general because I have'nt had a computer in a few years, but I've been able to surf the web through my playstation portable in the meantime.
I have been keeping reptiles for about 4 years, but I've loved them my whole life, I currently have 1 brazillian rainbow boa, 1 ball python, 1 albino brooks king snake, 1 grey-banded kingsnake, 2 jungle carpet pythons, and seven corn snakes (ultramel het caramel, motley butter, candy cane creamsicle, miami phase, ghost, snow, and hypomelanistic, the candy cane creamsicle, miami phase, and ghost are adults and the rest are young), I also have 5 leopard geckos (2 adults, 3 sub adults) an a saharan uromastyx.
I love them all equally and with the exeption of the uromastyx, I've raised them since they were babies, I have no favorite pet (exept for my german shepherd Ciana), but I have to say as a whole Corn snakes are my favorite species due to their calm behavior, beautiful varieties, and relatively easy maintenence.
I keep all of them in tanks that are filled with artificial yet realistic plants, branches and hides, so I can show them off, but as I start to get more (which I only plan on corn snakes from now on), I'm realizing the difficulties of keeping them in tanks, so I'm looking forward to either buying or building a snake rack when I can afford to do so, and I will just keep some of them in my larger tanks to show them off to guests.
I hope to receive good information and share a little of my own in this forum, and as soon as I can figure out how to post pictures through this somewhat old (but new to me) computer I will, I have many other interests such as art, and I would love to post some of that in the future as well, but for now all of you art loving reptile enthusiasts can visit my highly talented grandfather's website at www.carrollstudiogallery.com, he does'nt condone captive reptiles as much as me although he did when he was younger, but now he is a Mcarthur award winning naturalist and artist, and he has dedicated his life to preserving natural habitat for turtles in the state of NH.
