What do you look forward to with your animal(s)?

[MikeV]

Hey! Well I was thinking today.. what do I look forward to with my animals. I have a little list that I thought up so I thought id share, and id LOVE to hear yours!

Powder (Colombian BCI Red Tail Boa) -

When she gets BIG. she is already gigantic for her age.. I really cant wait to see how she grows and how big she gets!

Lrrr (Savannah Monitor) -

Playing with him outside during the summer! I love to have him out and being able to spend time with him outside is gonna be awesome!

Shaka "The Psychopath" Zulu (Macklot's Python) -

6 - 8 feet of pure viciousness. I look forward to working with him to tame him down. he is a great snake and I cant wait for the day (hopefully..) when I can just reach into his tank and pick him up

Lily (Leopard Gecko) -

I look forward to just getting to enjoy the next 10+ years with her, she is a sweetheart and just the coolest little creature ever

So what are some things you look forward to with your animal(s)? Cant wait to hear them!!!

Im looking forward to my BP getting bigger he has grown so much already and as I love him little (250 grams) cant wait till he is full grown!

I love watching my BPs grow. I can't wait until my 2010s start getting as big as my normal female. What I'm really looking forward is breeding them, I think about it way too much as well what other morphs I want to add my collection at NARBC in October. Looking forward to my snappy BPs to calm down too. Will be nice to hold them with out getting bit.

I also have a boa arriving Wednesday, and I can't wait to watch her grow.

I love it!!!! My bp is Zapp.
I look forward to him being a big ol' lump of snake that will (hopefully) give me babies with his great temperament. I look forward to seeing them all thrive.

i'm lookin forward to tuesday when i can handle her again. she just ate yesterday so i cant touch her for a couple days.
i'm also looking forward to seeing how big she gets as an adult.
oh oh OH, and of course i'm looking forward to being able to do a good photo shoot with her when i get me another digital camera .

I am looking forward to seeing how big my male normal gets and also looking forward to when he will start eating again. He has gone without food for 36 days now.

Male normal ball, Maynard
I'm looking forward to being with him for as long as possible. He's the best, never turns down food, never balls up, he isn't even head shy!

Female yellow belly ball, Eleven
I want to see her grow older and bigger, and I want to eventually see her gravid with a clutch from either Maynard or another ball python that I get down the road.

Female Nicaraguan boa, Judith
First and foremost I want to see her get big! And I also want to see her chill out a bit lol. When she's out in your hand she's awesome, but as soon as you put her down or back in the enclosure she S coils super tight and starts slowly going up to you like "I'm gonna eat you if you try that again!"

Unsexed X. Immanis, Astraea
I want him/her to get big so that I don't have to use a deli cup as an enclosure anymore, because whenever I open the lid to feed or change water he/she panics and I'm afraid one day he/she'll run right out of the cup. I also want to see the adult colors and a molt to be able to sex and change the name if needed.

Unsexed G. Rosea, Freya
I'm looking forward to doing a good handling session with him/her because last time I went to change the water I got a bit of a threat posture while putting the escape rock back in at the end, but he/she showed a fair tolerance for me messing with the cage and my hand being right beside her/him. Also looking for a molt to be able to sex and change the name if needed.

I am looking forward to spending a good long time with my normal bp, Ella. She is an amazing creature and I couldn't have asked for better as a first snake. She has a great curious personality and isn't overly shy and likes to be handled. BUT she does offer some challenges - she went on a hunger strike over the winter which was a shock to me because she'd always been a total PIG in the past and never ever turned down food. Until November 1st that is... And she's taught me a great deal about husbandry. Very forgiving of mistakes, but insistent that I get it right before too long. She speaks her own language.

And I'm looking forward to my next snake and many more to come!
