So... for you multiple snake owners, how long after your first bp did you wait to get a second?
I like that advice. Good for tats (I don't actually have any), good for snakes.
My two snakes showed up unexpectedly, even though I was already a member here, and VERY interested in acquiring some. (I call them gifts from the Cosmos.)
BF has been adamant about NOT adding anything until Spring. I've been looking at corns, and have passed up several of nice localities in the meantime. Probably just as well - I want the corn tank planted in advance. I already have a second-hand 30x12x22 tank cleaned up and on a stand. After pricing out the lighting, drainage, ABS substrate, etc. needed for it, I'll be spending about $200 to set it up (before plants, and no sculptured background. The screen top clips for it are coming next Tuesday. I'm planning for March to have it set up, and maybe April before the plants are established. There are a couple of breeders I'll be checking with beforehand. Looking for a classic Carolina, Apalachachola (spell??), buckskin, or subdued Oaktee (spell?) locality.
At this rate, I think the acquisitions will average out to maybe one a year.
