Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
Wow, this thread came just in time! I just got done with a small photoshoot of my fav. 2. lol. I would add our other BP in there, but she is in shed.
Oakley...He was actually traded for our ferrets. My first snake so of course I have a very special place in my heart and would do jail time before I let him go. When we got him he was tiny and skinny along with cold. Well since then he has porked up considerably, more so in the past month.
When we first got him

The porker now!

Him showing his flames he is starting to develop

And then there is Q. He holds a special place just like Oakley does but that is because he was a present from Ashtin.

Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
I have 2 two favorites.
Plato was my first reptile and I take him everywhere with me. Hes just a plain old beardie but I would never give him up.

Kink is the largest snake I own going just over 3 feet and about 1 year old. The day I brought her home I figured on getting 1 red tail but came home with 3. They told me if I bought this het albino pair they would give me a rare hypo "kink" tail for $50. :P I fell in love with her right away.

Apollo. My only herp, but she reminds me, "You hold on the tightest when you are about to fall."

Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
I am officially freaking out. How dare they try and tell me that a cat is ok for the environment but my ball python is bad. I have been up all night making copies of a summery of the proposal and I'm going to stick them to cars tomorrow at the two local malls. I love my snakes and I think it is ridiculous how people say that the wild is the only place for them. In a perfect world animals would be able to live in the wild and be safe but because of HUMANS the wild isn't safe. In fact a tub is much safer for a ball python than the wild. Pollution, hunting, oh yeah thats so much better than getting fresh purified water and healthy parasite free meal not to mention vet visits and all the love and attention they get from the people who love them. the PETA thinks that we are doing these creatures harm and thats simply not true. The ban SHOULD be for importing the poor creatures from the wild. But I don't see why we should stop all captive breeding. Just like there are good and bad cops there are good and bad pet owners. Is it fair to punish people who have done nothing but love their animals because some IDIOTS in florida let their burms loose in the everglades!? I propose instead of a ban that there should be the ability to get a permit to own these animals instead of banning them completely. I swear, if HR669 goes through all bets are off. I will probably be on the news for beating up the PETA member that lives 4 doors down that has always said I was going to he-double hockey sticks for keeping snakes and other random small animals. I will make a human into a carrier for my snakes before I let someone take my babies away. :mad:
Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
Ummmmm..ya know, it's not good to repress your feelings like this. You really need to learn to let your feelings be known to avoid inner stress and anxiety. ;) :)
Seriously though, I share your same thoughts. Look for the sale of herps to increase substantially as more and more herp owners become aware of this bill. I know we're looking at "stocking up" while we still can!
Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
Well my favorite would have to be my first snake, who named accordingly is George Washington.
He just shed a few days ago so he is looking real good but he didn't want to sit still for any photos but I grabbed a few, a face shot, a quick shot of his beautiful black back, and then a failed attempt at a body shot but he was just moving too quick so it came out blurry:

Re: Down and out because of HR669?????
Enser - your GW has a gorgeous pattern, and such a light color! Very very pretty!! :gj:
As for me...
Here's the boy that started the addiction!! Meet Paco... I had to give him up upon moving into an animal-free dorm, but he is with a responsible owner now who keeps many other beardies too.
He started out tiny...

And grew bigger...

And more and more crazy!
Today I'm all about snakes... And my first BP started it all. The minute I moved off campus, this lady came into my life... I can't believe she was once this tiny.

That's Caspie, my first BP. She is now nearly 1500g. My favorite part of keeping reptiles is watching them grow... and GROW... and become adults. It's so rewarding to have a healthy, happy adult snake that you raised yourself. :)
