Hey, i'm Erik in live in East Kilbride in Scotland.
i have been keeping reptiles since i was 10 and my hobby has grown into more of an addiction. I would like to breed reptiles to make a living as this would mean that i get to spend all my time working with the animals that i love.
I currently do some part time work at a local reptile pet store, which is good because i get discount on reptile stuff & wages to pay for it!
I was kicked out of school for having been off ill too long and now spend a lot of my free time browsing the web and making youtube videos.
i am currently breeding House Snakes, Water Dragons and Leopard Geckos but would quite like to start with Royal Python morphs.

MY HERPETOLOGICAL INTERESTS
i study and photograph my local amphibian species. I also try to get as much time spent with the Adder as possible, but they are not found in areas near East kilbride and i have to go further afield to find them. I do some photography, particularly reptiles.
MY GENERAL INTERESTS
My free time is generally spent on the internet talking to people on msn and more recently, the RG chatroom.
One the few days a year that the Scottish weather allows i go field herping - not much to find but it gets me out and about and i enjoy it.
I play the playstation2 often, my favourite game is Need For Speed Underground 2 nice game.
although recently i have found myself addicted to Top Gear on the telly haha.
