What a good idea this is dave, always wondering what everyone did and looked like!!
Well as you know i live in Finland, i got my first BRB about 2years ago and things have sky rocketed since then.
I actually come from Tasmania, Australia and compete in a sport called orienteering, some of you may know what it is, some not, basically a cross country running race with a map is the easiest way to describe it. Its bloody small in the states, not too big in australia, but i can nearly earn a living off it over here, where it is the biggest summer participation sport in scandinavia. Basically i ran a junior worlds in 99 in europe, and never went home Been here racing since.
I had a facination with snakes throughout my childhood, and would have ended up with a carpet python or the like, but there are more laws in australia for the keeping of reptiles, and tasmania certainly wasnt the easiest. Back then i bred and showed rex rabbits, started off with one, 2 years later i had a few hundred, and kept the collection up for 5-6 years, before the running just took up too much time. I bred many of the first rex morphs in australia.
After a 6-7 years of living in finland, sweden, norway then back to finland i have finally settled here, and wanted some pets, a dog or cat, doesnt fit with my life style as i spent up to 4 months away every year racing and on training camps, but my first BRB Bob, fitted into the equation perfectly.
Then came 2 adult females, then a offer for some anerythristics from a czech breeder, and well now, you see what has happened im hooked.
My life consists of, running approx 120miles a week, working part time in a aussie themed bar in central helsinki, looking after the snakes, spending too much time on the snake forums, and trying to convince my girlfriend, that her toy poodle looks more like a rat than a dog
