Yes indeed, I jumped the gun on calling her my fiance. Technically she is still just my girlfriend. I am quite confident, however, that she will be saying yes & as such I just decided to list her as my fiance! 8)

I am impressed by your attention to detail though Jenna, most of the others around here *cough* - Jonah - *cough* have already taken to calling her my fiance in accordance with the post I made about our pending engagement. So, I appreciate your attention to detail on the matter & I will update you & everyone else too on how things go as soon as we get back from the trip. We don't leave until next week though, so I will still be around until then! :D

Hi all,
We take care of all the animals the same. I of course have my favorites like Ripper the big nile monitor. and I am really falling for the new female water monitor. You get attached to certain ones individually. But each aniaml has a terrific story behind it, and usually has gone through great triumphs to get here (so to speak). But we have had a great run so far this year with placing animals into great homes.
You also have to remember that there are certain animals that are usued in our educational shows. Some are "special needs" animals (like three legged turtles, or Tiny the leopard gecko), and some are just big like Merlin (the big burm) or Ripper (the big nile monitor).
But it can be a handfull...lol
Off to the vet with a Painted turtle that was hit by a car. (I'll post details in a different thread if you guys want).
Thanks
Rusty

1.0 Red Albino Corn Snake (Junior)
1.0 Ball Python (Zeus)

Yeah, I wasn't meaning to be picky or anything, I was just wondering if you went ahead and asked her already or something. Let us know how it goes! :)

Well I am owned by
