Introduction
Hi everybody,
My name is Fons, I live in Holland, have a wife and three sons. Married with children, so to speak.  I am 50 yaers old and keep reptiles since I was a very little boy. The first snakes I bought were Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis (in the early seventies). After a number of years I did not keep any Thamnophis anymore. I was to busy starting up, together with two friends, a shelter (sanctuary) for reptiles. This has become one of the largest reptilezoos in Europe. If you want to see more, visit Iguana. Since a number of months I keep Thamnophis again (private) and I still think they are fantastic snakes. In this moment I keep: 1.1 Thamnophis atratus atratus 1.1 Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis 1.0 Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia (2 females are ordered and will arrive soon) Friendly greetings from the Netherlands Fons |

An update...
I was interviewed for a Dutch newspaper and there also was a picture with it. Thought I would share it with you. In my hands I keep our juvenile Python reticulatus that was born in our zoo this year.

Re: Introduction
that's so cool, Fons
it's nice to get some positive media coverage for our less-than-mainstream critters I'm looking forward to your web-site translation I can read about a quarter of the Dutch I encounter and that never seems quite enough to put together an entire sentence
