How Long Was It?

For those of you with 2 or more snakes, I was just curious as to how long it was before you had more than one in the house.

a few months.

Yeah....a few months....it doesn't take long for the addiction to grab hold. :D

Indeedy...Atreyu was an only snake for 10 months before Bastian came home. :)

A month to the day between 1 snake and 3 this time around. :)

I still only have one snake. I've had him for about eight months. I did get a second herp a couple weeks ago...a beardie. Unfortunately, as wonderful as the lizard is...he doesn't come close to satisfying my desires for another snake. LOL

I had Bob about 2 1/2 months before I got Nanners. I saw him thought he was cool and I had an extra tank. By the way off topic but Mrs MacWin is going to be borrowing a DigiCam this week sometime so I will finally have pictures of my boys to show off :D .

I plan on keeping just one for the moment!

A couple of months. :)

1st snake: Ball python bought 8/03
2nd snake: Kenyan Sand Boa bought 11/03
3rd snake: Mexican Black Kingsnake bought 2/04
4th snake & 5th snake: Rough Scale and Saran Sand Boas bought 3/04

As you can see......I've go tte bug bad. :wink:

Your honor - I am going to have to plea the fifth on this inquiry and redirect to Smynx . . .

We got Suki for our son on December 24th. Smulkin got Neph on January 25th. Benny and Betty followed about a month later, and then there was the herp show March 6th when we acquired 4 more. A week later, Smulkin ordered Kali 'cause he was regretting the fact that he hadn't purchased a blood at the herp show. (Now you know where our tax return went.) I've put a temporary stay on any new snake purchases, but we still look at females for potential breeding projects.

think im crazy...i must be way buried and lsot. smynx and smulkina re related?

HEHEHE - yeah, we are. Husband and wife, mom and dad, yin and yang, peanut butter and jelly, etc. . . . . .

Alfalfa and Darla, Gumby and Pokey, Sid and Nancy . . .

Nancy and Sluggo, Dustpuppy and Erwin, Gilligan and the Skipper, Zeus and Hera ...

Well not so much Sid and Nancy.

Pebbles and Bam-Bam. You get the picture.

Apologies for that horrible photo, which was taken by our then 13-year-old son. We had just finished body surfing on Hatteras Island, and if any of you have been there, you know that's a beating.

Hey...that's a great picture! Can't wait to meet you guys in May!!

HEHE - that's a crappy picture - and we can't wait to meet you either, Judy.

I'm gonna shift this to the General forum since it's not really about bp's at all. :)

Believe it or not, Smynx, you and Smulkin look very much like I pictured! (From what I can tell in that picture, anyhow...it's harder to see you.)

Cause I've got that silly hat on my head to cover up my tangled hair. That surf was harsh!

It took me about 3 minutes and 6.5 seconds...lol

(gumby and pokey, that's a good one..lol!)
Rusty

I had only one for about 6 months, but she died quite suddenly from an IBD - 2 months later (and much weeping, sanatizing, and worrying later) I have two new beautiful balls.

Hehehe- my hubby and I get called "Mutt and Jeff"...... anyone know what I am talking about..or am I just OLD??? :roll:

Nope we have no idea what your talkin about, your just old.........................hahahahah.

Why do I seem to start threads that veer WAYY off course? Or are you guys just nuts?........Its gotta be you....its gotta be.

It's you, Paul. Something about that vibe you give off ... ;)

Must be my resemblence to JB himself thats messin you guys up,maybe I should take my picture off and use another avatar.

Yeah thats right, thats me, I just came outa the shower.

well if it was up to me i would just have my whole room climate controled and filled with snakes but im still under my parents control and also the fact that i have no money.....damn it sucks to not have any money... i need to get a job... once i get a job ill be right online buying another behind my parents backs.... i mean how much trouble could i get in.... ohhh cool i just realized there is a thing to change font color!

You're joking about buying animals behind your parents' backs, aren't you???

Marla...love the new avatar! I didn't recognize you for a minute! LOL

My parents don't know I own a herp. They are terrified of them and I don't plan on telling them any time soon :P

Do you live at home with your herp, Raj?

Oh no LOL! I live continents away from my parents but I'm afraid they will call me all the time to see if I was still alive or if I've been eaten by my snake or something :roll:

I'm too old to live with my parents, I'm 25 :lol:

LOL! That's what I thought! That's a whole different ballgame than buying snakes and hiding them in your room while living in their house! :shock:

Gosh that would be kinda hard :lol: Especially once that Retic gets to be like 30 feet long and they wanna know why you keep hauling a dead goat into your room every other week! :lol:

LOL! Tell them it's for black-magic rituals...they'd probably be less worried about that than about the retic! :lol:

Thats true..sadly though :lol:

My snakes came in twos frist was Cinder got her august 9 my b-day. Tala arive next two weeks later and then came Phoenix in november,then it was little old chaos he came in January of this year. My snake by has came to quite a hault her the last few months. I did buy my beardie this month I am done for a while. I have enough to keep myself occupied for a while. Plus I have ran out of room.

yeah my parents don't know about my BP either... but I have a history of rescuing animals, so I'm sure part of them wonders what exactly I'll come home with this summer.... though this is the first pet I've chosen rather than rescued. I'm 22 and live in Nashville about eight months out of the year and my parents are pretty open minded about stuff so I think I'm in the clear - but I'll tell them soon... summer is approaching! haha

Everyone repeat after me....

"Hello, my name is __________, and I'm an ophidiophile". :lol:

Ophidiophile = snake lover

YEAH! new words thanks TG

Admitting it is the first step.......to paving the way to getting even more snakes!

Now you guys need to come out of the closet. LOL

Raj Said:
Oh no LOL! I live continents away from my parents but I'm afraid they will call me all the time to see if I was still alive or if I've been eaten by my snake or something
--------------------------------------------------------

Thats funny I got the same reaction from my folks and Im 35! Talkin to my pops and told him casualy bout the BP, he calls me that night cause he saw a show on animal planet on giant constictors, worried my BP would choke me to death I finaly convinced him it wasnt quite as dangerous as owning a retic, Mom on the other hand.........well she'll always be mom.

Oh by the way getting back to what this topic is about, Im glad to hear when you all got your second,3rd 4th snake. Now I dont feel so bad indulging myself so soon after getting my first,I realy couldnt help it.

We are good at jacking :D

Thanks, Judy! The guys were being cute again and I had to snap photos. :)

WhiteTiger, I'm with Judy on this one. If you were my kid, you could expect some serious consequences, but then again, my kids would come to me first. You need to tell your parents about your snake, and fast.
