    Well taxes came in and I'm already broke again :o

    Have some T10s, baby racks and herpstats coming. :)
    Very exciting.

    In just about a week I'm hoping to have my very first clutch start hatching.

    I was responsible and paid off the money i owed my bro and put the rest in the bank. (He let me borrow some for a down payment on my car). It sucked but im glad i did lol.

    I hate owing money.
    Long story short, next paycheck will be my last garnishment. It's been a long 18 months. Going to be a huge help getting a full paycheck again.

    I might also throw in a new rack, Waiting for them to open so I can give them a call :o

    Me too. BUT i needed the new car since my blazer needed work done and i did NOT wanna drop any more money into it since i was getting rid of it. And i had already filed them, was just waiting on the return. So it was like only a two week loan lol.

    My next snake related purchase is gunna be a baby rack (once i see her ovulate and am expecting eggs).

    I still need 3 more T10s after this :(
    Maybe something bigger for the Dumeril's

    What baby rack are you looking at?

    I got the open AP one. Economy Rack. I went ahead and got them with heat. Still planning on not using belly heat but might change.

    After all of that, I should be caught up and done with caging / racks for a while.

    With a little extra room :)

    Oh and for those that are thinking - you have eggs hatching in a week and just now ordered baby racks?!??

    I already everything set up for what's in the incubator :p

    Do you use the T-10's for your carpets? Is that the largest sized cage they'd need?

    I was looking at getting the AP economy 15 tub rack. I'm only expecting one clutch this year and probably only like 2 (maybe 3, who knows lol) for the next couple years until all my juvies/babies are full grown. So i figured 15 tubs would last me a few breeding seasons and then when i'm ready for more babies i just gotta expand and add more room. This style. Same as the one ur getting i think:

    Yep that's it!

    Just called them and added on an adult 900 series rack :D
    Plus they will send it all freight so I saved money by spending a ton. :o

    Yeah my poor big girls (Carpets)

    have lived in a 71q tub all their life. It's a huge tub but I wanted to get them something nicer.
    They will do great in the T10s.i also added the shelf so they can perch.

    My male has a 36x18x18 Boaphile and he has lots of room. But he is full grown at 5'.
    My BCI male also lives in the same Boaphile. He is fine for now but still putting on size. He will move up to a T10.

    My Jag girl might need something bigger. I have a feeling she will become a beast. 9-10' maybe ..?
    She has already hit 6' before her 2 year mark. :)

    Wow! So when I called to add on the rack that had to be shipped freight she told me it would be cheaper to send everything freight.
    (I already paid for the first part of the order before I called.)

    So I asked her to figure it all up and send me a PayPal bill. New shipping cost and the rack added to the order.

    All said and done I just saved about $250 by having it all shipped freight.
    That's like getting a free cage :p

    So if you plan on buying from AP. Save up and try to get a large shipment all at once and save.

    Cool. I wouldn't need that much stuff i dont think. So probably no freight shipping for me lol.

    Just give them a call and double check.
    The cages were going to be $55 each to ship. The huge rack was going to be $110 to ship freight.

    Worth a shot before you order. She was super nice on the phone. They have always been helpful when I have sent emails too.

    I think for now i'd only need a baby rack. Which is like $47 in shipping on the site.

    Tonight!
    My male Carpet that has been off feed and starting to get really skinny (getting really worried skinny) ate a nice plump chicken tonight!!!

    So freaking happy he ate :)

    All my females that have laid all have a insane feeding response too.

    So let the countdown begin.
    We are guessing the hatch day (first Carpet clutch) will be this coming Saturday.
    Eggs are deflating with good movement inside.

    Can't wait to see them!!

    Nice babies, gotta love carpets! Wish I was 100% on mines sex. Do you prob them?

    I'm not comfortable with popping. I have probed all my snakes but... With that said, I have read that probing Carpets can run a risk of injury.
    I have no idea if there is any truth to that so I hate to even bring it up.

    I'm pretty sure it's really hard to pop a Carpet as they start to get some size. It's best to do it at a younger age.

    My scale doesn't go that high so I have round off to the nearest pound. She is about 8lbs 6'+ He was 2000+ grams before breeding 5' range.

    I'm really just hoping to get some nice looking pets from this clutch.
    Next breeding season will have the exciting Carpets :)
    I would really like to work with some wild type looking Jungles but people always want the flashy ones.
    I can't really blame them, they are some sweet eye candy.
