| | | Hello There!
My name's John and I (unfortunately) live in the West Midlands.
I've been a keeper of Exotic Invertebrates (Mostly Theraphosids and other venomous invertebrates) and Reptiles for a number of years.
My main contributions on the forums will be regarding the multitudes of Spiders and Myriapodae found in this country, moreso than most other sections!
I also look forward to getting to know you all a bit better! |

Hi John, I doubt our paths will cross often as I am really not into what you specialise in, spiders are a no no for me, although I find reptiles quite fascinating. There are always loads of spider and reptile questions so you will have plenty to keep you occupied. Anyway, enjoy the site and welcome to WAB.  |

Hi John,
A warm welcome to WAB, I think most of us joined with a favourite or specialist subject (I enjoy the Trees and Wildflowers) but find you get involved with more, I have not a clue about insects, etc but I am taking more notice - I enjoy looking at the fantastic photos in the gallery, I think you will enjoy WAB, looking forward to your posts & photos.
Carol.

Hello there John
I have just googled your name (excuse me for not knowing  ) ….and aaaarrrggghhhh…..had to get off that page quick. I don’t know why spiders panic me so much, I’m ok if I see them outside, they can even walk next to me if they like, but inside and I have to leave the room till I can see them no more. 
It must be so lovely to enjoy them and I really admire you for that.
Anyway, what I meant to say was welcome to the Wab and I look forward to seeing you on the forums!

If you're ever passing through the West Midlands again feel free to pop in for a cup of tea and an Arachnophobia therapy session! :P |

Thanks John
But I fear I will have to psyche myself up for that ….West midlands?.... or spiders?….you decide…. but thanks for the kind offer.
Anyway, I'm sure they're both lovely in their own way! |

I'm getting quite attached to some of our garden spiders (occasionally literally with the smaller ones). Fascinating creatures to watch.
Welcome aboard John! |
