I bet we`ll have loads of fun with this board.
But first, i`ll follow Mario`s example and tell you a bit about myself.
All my life i`ve been passionate about fieldherping, though i did not know until a few years back that searching for herps all the time (and not caring about much else) is called herping.

Like most of the fieldherpers out there, i`ve kept a few animals over the years, mostly snakes and terrapins rescued from the mean neighborhood kids.
I`ve studied biology,i am involved with herpetological research, but i get my paycheck working as a safety consultant.

Anyway, i can onestly say that i am just obsessed with fieldherping. It is defenitely more than a hobby, it really is the center of my life.

The wife is now passionate about herping and birding as well
