Sid crashes the snakepit-party

G'day snake charmers

Pretty new at keeping garters, but since visiting Gijs & Sabine i got a huge overload of infdo and a few highly useful links, including this one.
since I'm a fairly regular user of forums (got a couple on fish and a few on inverts as well for other parts of the animalkeeping hobbies) I'd really like to crash in here and join the happy slitherin' bunch.

Got 4 radix at home. I started out with these when I bought 3 juveniles last year (born in april or may 2005). kept them for almost a year when I found out I got 3 boys. placed an add to buy or trade for a female radix when I got an email from Sabine.

the rest -as they say- is history!

My other hobbies include keeping and breeding fish since 1974, mainly Tanganyikan catfish although I've kept a long list of cichlids too from that Lake. still have 1 tank with riverine weirdos from 3 continents. at work (school) I keep tarantulas, roaches (big ones), tropical beetles, stick-insects, axolotls, malawian cichlids etc etc.
Next to that i enjoy SCUBA diving, beer, the heavier rockshows, fantasy-gaming (ranging from online to LARP) and so on.

Happy SAMHAIN everyone and see ya on the forum

SG out

ps: how do you fit in pictures? this forum doesn't work like the regular phpBB forums I use to join.....can't copy n paste and edit my own link for example.

There is nothing like having an international membership to help give different perspectives on issues.

Welcome to the forum SG.

Hiya Sid,
Nice to meet you. Your English is as clear as any American's, yet you have a Netherland flag. I'm impressed. You'll find a lot of helpful people on this forum, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

One way to post pictures is to go to the "photo gallery" section and click the "Upload Photos" link near the top right corner. I'm sure you'll make your way through the next screen where you browse to your photo and click "upload." This will upload your picture onto the thamnophis website and start a gallery under your screen name. I haven't figured out how to post a picture into your comment, yet. I can only post links to pictures, so I'll leave that for someone else. Cheers,
Rick

Hey Sid, nice to meet you here too.

Gijs & Sabine · 11-02-2006, 07:24 AM

Hi Lex, nice you found this forum as well.
join the club !!

Thamnophis · 11-02-2006, 08:16 AM

I'ts getting more and more a Dutch forum. Maybe everyone has to write in Dutch now

Gijs & Sabine · 11-02-2006, 08:29 AM

Yes yes, I agree with that Thamnophis !!

It would be much easier for me

sidguppy · 11-02-2006, 09:11 AM

no way Jose

I like English, it's my home away from home.

I'm gonna try to put in the snake-pix again, see if it works in the pix section.
phpBB has grown on me, so it's kinda queasy to stumble across a forum that runs on different software.
bear with me while I fumble my way thru it, will you?

Cazador · 11-02-2006, 10:35 AM

Hi Sid,
Reptileparadise showed me how to add pictures to your post after you've loaded them into the photo gallery. Just pull up your picture in the photo gallery. Then click on the "COPY TO CLIPBOARD" button below your picture. On your next post, you can simply right click, and select paste wherever you want to insert your picture. Give it a try. Cheers,
Rick
