    Bah!

    I put in the general BP because the following rant is about BP.

    I'm an avid craigslist user, and I constantly search for deals around. I look for everything. TVs, cars, reptile cages, entertainment centers, the works. Well, I was looking one day and I did a search for python in the pets section, as I'm sure many of you do. I see nothing amazing, or any animals that are in need of rescue (mainly just over priced) well lo-and-behold I find a guy who needs to unload some of his snakes, one of which is a 08 female spider. Spiders are among my favorite morphs and this guys wants 250 for it. I contact him and get him down to 200, wow? Freaking amazing is more like it! Not only that but it fits in breeding plans. I freaking love bees and I've got my pastel male alreay.

    As it turn out had some large expeditures on the way, and wasn't able to afford her. I use past tense because this was several weeks ago, and I'm still kicking myself because I had to bail on an amazng deal for such a nice snake. I still can't afford her, and I'm sure shes gone by now.

    I just needed to rant for a moment. I can't vent to the girlfriend because she thinks 2 snake is already to much. I should not be allowed on to kingsnakes, fauna classifieds, or into the pet section of craiglist. I just end up hating myself.[/rant]

    advice for the girlfriend: shoes! i wanted to get a 3rd bp and i had to buy my fiancee a couple pairs of shoes for her to let me get another bp. i don't know why they love shoes so much, but it works. well worth it in the end

    Wonder if it works the same for men? I would love to have more balls, but the other half says three is enough for now.

    I did just that, she still is, and I hate myself for inquiring, because I still can't afford her.

    I don't like this game.

    Re: Bah!

    That sucks! Would he take half now and the rest next month and you could pick her up, or some other such arrangement?

    My DH and I don't have a limit... we're not seeking more now, but I wouldn't dream of telling him no.
