    Great day!!!
    I am married to an amazing woman!!!!! We went to Repticon today in Charlotte simply to look and pick up my rat order from Mice Direct. Well my Wife, the one that said I have two BPs and that's enough and she would divorce me before we got another one, got attached to the best looking pinstripe in the whole place and BOUGHT HIM!!! He is a 2011, born about June 26, and has a great demeanor. I love to impulse buy but now I have to get everything setup for him tonight. I will post pics when we get home and I am getting him put away for the week...i am posting this from Chili's since we stopped for dinner on the way home. She's so funny because we stopped at dollar tree and had to find a nice little plastic bowl with a lid so he could be safe and not stay in a 100+ degree car while we eat... he's in her purse staying warm.

    If chili's only knew.:D

    You sure she wasn't trying to speed up the divorce? Better check for packed bags tonight... :D

    Congrats on the pickup! Pins are beautiful.

    Not yet but she loves Elvis so she is leaning towards naming him Memphis. Our Chihuahuas are named Graceland and Presley.

    Congrats!! When I got my first snake two years ago my husband was of the opinion that the only good snake was a dead snake :(. Now, 38 snakes later if I'm holding one he walks right up and takes the snake from me and holds it. It's amazing how much people can change when they just have the opportunity to be around snakes and see that they are not "bad" like they were taught.

    Nice pin. :)

    My girlfriend said I can have the second bedroom of our apartment we are getting as a snake room. So loves my interests And supports me 110%. She even said sometime down the road She wants some of her own to play around with in breeding aspects. Right now she is Just scared of getting bit in the face. She winced everytime my female eastern milk came near my face when i would hold her.

    Thats awesome, congrats! He looks great too:gj: Now I just need your wife to hang out with mine and rub off on her a bit. She told me the same thing as yours and I've been trying to convince her for a while now to let me pick up a red tail boa to no avail:taz:

    That is a very handsome pin - well done, sir! And definitely a boy? You might want to try casually leaving pictures of pin combos randomly scattered around the house. After she gets a look at the possibilities, there may be a Lisa Marie Lesser in your future! (evil laugh) :ninja:

    Gratz on the purchase. That is a nice looking specimen she picked out.

    I was told all I can ever want. All she cares about is if the bills are paid. :)

    Sounds like a repeat of my trip to Manassass. Except they didn't have a good selection of Bps. So we just ate at Chiles. Hubby says no more snakes I say we have room for one more:) That is a nice Pinstripe you picked up.

    Shows are great places to convert the non-snake lovers. :) After taking my father to one he insists he's going to buy a Genetic Stripe Ball Python and a GTP. :rolleyes: Of course he had to fall for the terribly expensive ones. I'm buying him a GTP but he'll have to wait on that G Stripe.

    Thats an awesome pin! i hope my girlfriend becomes like your wife, haha. She was completely against me getting a ball at first but she isnt terrified of them so hopefully she will learn to love them. I've already told her im breeding and she seems to be ok with it, i think i've got a long way to go before she buys her own though, haha. congratz! :D

    THIS SUCKS!!!!! I need to practice what I preach because someone else on here said they wanted so bad to take their new BP out and chill with him and I told them to hold on because it will all be worth it in the end. Now, here I am at work and it's really slow so I have been on here looking around seeing my pics of Memphis and I want to get him out when I get home SOOOOOO BADDDD:colbert:...hahahaha...pretty pathetic isn't it?:rolleyes:

    Congrats on her conforming to your life style ;P
    My significant other is wanting Monocled Cobras now. And he wants them badly.
    Hes begged me to the point i gave in and told him to start with Vipers and work his way up.
    As if i'll ever let him bring a Cobra into the house :rofl:
