Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Current BF (soon to be ex I am sure) is having a major issue with my animals, won't even come to the house, hates that I spend money on them etc... Ex hubby told me before he left that it was him or the animals and I feel like I am in that situation again. Hmm I wonder what my choice is Sorry,just needed to rant. I know there have to be guys out there who aren't threatened by a girl who has a few little ole snakes.

LOL Ed don't blame you a bit! Maybe I should have had the requirement that the guy must have snakes/reptiles before I dated him - the no animals at all should have been a clue.
And Donnie, its great that you found one, even if you had to import her

I too would like to find a lady herper, here in Va. Been in an up and down relationship for 4 years (not married) with a lady who has never come to my house. Scared to death of them she says! I do boas and ball pythons with a few high end corns, so I do have a few big ones at home lol ! Hopefully I will find someone to share my hobby with before checkout time!

Looking for a herper chick too.
I can't recall there being a time where having snakes was a deal breaker... but I sure would like to have a GF that would share the interest with me, not just tolerate it.

I suppose I got lucky, as I am now married to an incredibly beautiful and talented woman who enjoys my passion for herpetofauna. Of course I waited until I was well into my 30's to marry, as that is when I met her.
Perfection is a word all too often brought up when discussing relationships. I have found there is no such thing, as we do not live within a utopian world and the true secret to a healthy relationship can be found in communication and mutual respect.
One reason I see so many relationships fail, among men who keep reptiles, is the fact that men are generally quite stingy about their hobbies. Most men have no qualms with dropping hundreds and thousands of dollars into their hobbies, whether such is hunting, fishing or herpetoculture. However, few women spend such exorbitant amounts on themselves, but rather focus such funds on the benefit of the entire household.
Working with Drymarchon spp., a relatively expensive genus to acquire and keep, I have found myself in the situation described. However, my wife enjoys equestrian, an even more time consuming and expensive pursuit, so we have found a balance and balance is the key to domestic tranquility. I help my wife with the horses and she helps me with the snakes. We consult with one another prior to making large acquisitions, as to avoid completely depleting the bank account, and so far have found a great balance.
Guys, I challenge you to this; the next time you take money out of an account to fund your hobby, take an equal amount out of the account and give it to your significant other! Tell her it is for her use for something she alone will enjoy, not for the family or household! My fellow men, I tell you, in doing this you will earn points and for those of you who are deer hunters, you know how important points are! Now, if you are a woman with an expensive hobby, reverse the roles! ;0)
In short, respect and support each others differences and hobbies and do not try to change someone else’s opinion or thought on something, unless they are ready for such. While it helps when two people enjoy the same things, even opposites attract, but we must learn to respect and understand those differences before such attractions can work…
Best regards,
Jeff

I enjoy collecting Ball Pythons but my husband could care less about them. He will hold them while I clean cages and goes to get live feeders for my picky eaters but he could happily live without them. Hubby loves his computers, he has at least 7, all of which he built himself, and is currently building another one. I think one is fine and have no need for special ram,mobos, or vid cards. We work it out by buying each other snakes or computer parts. He listens to me talk about snakes and looks at pictures of ones I am interested in. In exchange I listen to him talk about overclocking his computer and sometimes suprise him with a new CPU or mobo.
I don't think couples have to have the same interests but they do need to know how to compromise.
On a side note I know more men that are terrified of snakes than women who are. Go figure.
