SPREPTILES

My name is Péter Siklós. I live in Hungary near the capital, Budapest. Loving reptiles might be inheritable If someone grows up in a herping family but it was not the case for me as my parents had no interest in reptiles. But as an urban kid I was fortunate enough to spend summer holidays close to nature and probably that was the time I got injected for the rest of my life. I was killing most times by fishing alone or with friends and when no fish was willing to bite I was discovering the wildlife along the shore... First I just catched native reptiles and amphibians for fun and after studing them for a while I let them go... Years went by and I made more and more attempts to care about these field collected later than purchased herps, so except some off period during my teenage years I was after reptiles all my life as a serious hobbist. Actually I loved all kind of herps but snakes were definetly my favorites.
