I have been rude, comming on here and jumping straight in asking for scorpions and slings...
So here's and intro: I see I am a "newbie". Actually I have been keeping scorpions before I was 10 years old. By matric I had over 1000 scorpions in my collection. I also have kept many tarantulas over the years. I have bred various reptiles aswell for the past 20 years. I had to learn the hard way how to keep and breed everything over the years and so now my focus is on educating "newbies" to the wonder of creepy crawlies. I have written a number of books on cornsnakes, leopard geckos, Scorpions (General), Emperor Scorpions, Tarantulas (General). I plan to write on veiled chameleons next and a general book on ratsnake, milksnake and kingsnake. I have written many caresheets for everything I have kept. I haven't had anything published - all in pdf format at present - I am not sure if publishing is worth it???
i was in the petshop business for more than a decade, now I simply continue to collect and study these beautiful creatures that have given me much joy for over 2 decades now. I am really amazed at how the hobby has grown over the years. 10 - 20years back, nature conservation made life very difficult for this hobby.
I look forward to interacting and learning from this group.
thanks
