    Of course, if you want the critter cage, etc. that comes with him, that makes it a better deal, but I think I remember you talking about having your snakes in tubs?

    Yes, the ad was funny! I already mentioned that I didn't think I could swing the $100. She seemed like she would work with me on that, so we'll see. Since he's diurnal, a tank is OK. He'll be a display snake.

    I'll keep you posted.

    The Honduran Milk lady never emailed me back. So I think someone else was willing to pay her fee. Guess it's just not meant to be. I'm working on a bird right now anyway. And I found out today that chincilla's give me hives! :O

    How about a Giant Madagascan Hognose? They can get 7 to 9 ft and have that great Hoggie personality.

    Hoggies are awesome! I only have experience with Western Hognose though. The giant hogs are insane!

    It's leucistic Texas ratsnakes for me all the way......pure white snake with icy blue-gray eyes, and a bright red tongue. Super cool. Second choice is the noodle baby..;) The are gorgeous snakes. I named mine Petunia. :D

    Nope, I still say it's corns corns corns! :) So many morphs, so little time (or space).

    And that is a huge bummer on the chinchillas! That is the one mammal I fully intend to have someday soon!

    (Oh, and Casey...I hate you for getting a gold AND a silver dragon!! :D;))
