Well, I AM planning to get one...but it won't be for several months yet. :( :)

I have had my little man for a week & i gotta tell ya, after working through some early problems, i am so attached to him in such a short time it scares me! Plus, I enjoy caring for them so much that I am already thinkin about when I can get another one! LOL! My girlfriend will have NONE of that though. We only live in a one bedroom apartment that isn't very big until we get done with college & i had to fight with her tooth & nail just to get her to let me have Jack! She won't be too keen on another at this point.

i got peanut in october, same month she won bpom. :)

and for all of you who say you don't want another snake because of who you live with, you're living with the wrong people. my gf wouldn't dare tell me to get rid of my snakes, she knows how much i care about them all.

Have you had ones in the past?

I've never had a bp, no. I got my first snake this past August, but it's a Cape Gopher.

Will.....sorry hon...but my husband was in the picture LONG before any reptiles. And no matter how much I love the critters, they will never hold a candle to my man. 8)

I agree with Will. I've learned not to associate with people who think they are slimy. No one would DARE tell me to get rid of them and that will go for colleges in three years. You accept me, you accept the babies! :mrgreen:

Well, if you're single and already set in your herp-loving ways...then it certainly makes sense to search for a significant-other who at least supports the hobby, or better yet, partners with you in it. That's just good sense, looking for a good match. That being said...I hope all of you find a true love that means far more to you than any animal you may or may not desire to own. :)

Yep, a herp is certainly not something to end an otherwise good relationship over. I even have friends who aren't reptile fans. As a rule, they don't come to my house, and that's okay. Some of them like chihuahuas and pit bulls, and while i don't understand it, I don't end the friendship over it either. Now, friends who don't like kids are another matter. They pretty much need to pretend, keep their mouths shut, or get on down the road. :)

My baby doll was in the picture for over three years before I even suggested gettin a snake of my own. I have liked them for a while but never really considered gettin my own until this past year when my suitemate at school came in with one. That was the one that I used to care for a lot & I loved that snake. Ya know what too? I don't care what people think, that snake loved me! He remembers me too cuz i went four months without seeing him & when i saw him again, he came to me when I opened the tank. He doesn't even do that for his owner!

So, as you can see, Nanci was here long before Jack! She is a true animal lover though & is starting to love Jack already. I knew that she would! She isn't ready to touch him, especially since he still hisses & pretends to be a tough guy. But with time, it will happen!
