Hi,

I am new to this forum so please be gentle with me. Living in Australia, originally from England. Just looking for somewhere to chat and pass the time away. Not been on a forum in ages so forgive me if i mess up.

Hi there mate.

Haven't posted on here for a long time and like you fairly new to this sort of stuff, hopefully moving to Australia soon, like to get to know a few people on here. I think I made my introduction many months ago, but if anyone interested, I love reptiles' (part the reason I am hoping to move permanently) and have lived and worked in the West Country for the past two months, though originally from London.

Hi Cal.

Thank you for the reply. Love all things nature wise, but particularly snakes, often though about a 'Dangerous Animal Licence' in the UK so I can keep a venomous snake, but with two children still at home and a dog it may have to wait a while, or at least until I get OZ

Cheers Idiot

Anywhere really mate. I am just starting the process, but my main areas would be, QLD, preferably North, or maybe Darwin.
