Rediculously exciteddddd!!

Tomorrow is the awesome day that I get to go see my friend Kellysballs and pick up a male Spider that I've been eyeballing since I picked up Alana back in like...what, September?? I can't waiiit!!! Rest assured I'll post plenty of pics when I get the little guy home!

Also super excited because sometime in the last 24-48 hours, Alana had her first unassisted, full shed come off in one piece! I've been struggling for this since I got her but as of tomorrow I'm going to put all those problems to rest because I'm picking up a couple of tubs to put them in, rather than the 10gal tank she's been in.

okay, this post got much longer than I wanted it to but I feel like a 9 yr old hearing the ice cream truck coming down my street for the first time in a month in the middle of summer! :banana:

Well congrats!!! We need pictures ok!!;)

I agree! Strictly for future pet purposes, I am incredibly eager for the time when he and my pastel female are old enough to breed so I can have a Bumble Bee.

thats what I want next too...I have a pastel male thats ready to go. Only thing that stinks is that I have to 3 years haha...

Good grief, why that long??

well for a female spider to get up to size, it would take 3 years. Not all the time but its good to bank on three.

Awesome...Kelly had my favorite morph of the Orlando show a couple weeks ago....Pastel Axanthic. Super nice woman....hope to do business with her in the future.

Very good for you. It's always exciting to hear from someone that is getting a new snake. Just remember, these little guys are very addicting. When you think you've got enough, you see one that tugs at your heart strings, then the next thing you know, you're looking for another tank or rack.

Congrats!

Oh I've been addicted for a few years, it's just that only recently due to new found financial....well, SOMEWHAT stability; that I've been able to renew the passion.

Back in 2003 my best friend had 2 normals and he came to a point where due to the condition of the home he and his family were living, he felt he wasn't providing for the snakes as he would like to so he told me I could have them. I ended up keeping them for six or eight months until the point when Hurricanes Charlie and Frances hit florida.

neither was what you'd think of as particularly devastating to my area.
except for the fact that Frances, while not damaging as far as wind, just hung out over the state in seemingly one spot for so long that we got enough rain to make the water back up in all of the tubs, sinks and toilets throughout my house to the point where I woke up one morning to an inch of water on my bedroom floor.

Long story short, we literally got kicked out of our house because it was too unhealthy to remain there. lived in a hotel for 9 months during home renovations/repair, which didn't allow animals so I had to give the snakes back to my friend and he eventually sold them out of financial necessity.

So now I'm making up for lost time! :D

I'm glad you can finally get back into the hobby. I was stuck in Florida for Francis. I was in Daytona Beach getting my son set up at Embry Riddle. That was an amazing storm. Didn't want to leave Florida.

Good Luck!
