Just a matter of time.

I've been seeing a lot of y'all adding some really beautiful critters to your collections lately. I think I've got the new snake fever too. It must be contagious. Stay tuned for updates :).

Yeah I can respect that lol.

What are you thinking Zig?

You've got the carpet field covered so I'm guessing some variation??

I don't even pretend to delude myself into thinking that my collection is ever 'complete'. ;) I swore I'd never get into cornsnakes...now I have two and a rat snake.

Yeah there is always something else I want. Right now there are 3 snakes I def plan on adding. A nice Pied female. A boa (prob Dimerils) and a Mexican Black King. I think I could be happy with those additions but there always seems to be something else.

Gio- There's still a few carpets I'd like to get my hands on but I'm planning something a little more sinister this time. ;)

Oooo I can't wait!

It's done. Sorry Gio. It's just another carpet :). She's scheduled to arrive in 2 weeks.

On another note. Thanks John for the inspiration. Those pictures of Pappy you posted sent me over the edge. This guy is coming next week.

That albino is awesome :gj: I was going to say you need a retic. They are very fast becoming my favorites haha. Of course I only got Caesar to judge it off of. But man, cant go wrong with that albino. Now you're making me want one of those hahaha. It never freakin ends, the want grows way faster than the means with these snakes :P BTW what exactly is it? Not just a normal albino carpet?

WOW - Nice additions to the collection.

Good Lord help me, but I so want at least a male Dumerils Boa. :rolleyes: actually I want a pair to breed them. And I already have the proper caging available for any size. Santa so did not bring them to me for Christmas! :tears:
Anyone have any suggestions?

Get some experience with venomous then add on one of those. They make great display animals.

I'll play santa for you!! Here's a picture of my little 3 month old girl :) She's like a bottomless pit when it comes to food and eats anything....F/T pinky rats or adult mice.

Dammit man...I've been tossing the idea of either a BRB or a DB around and lean towards the DB only because they seem easier to provide for (ie. less humidity requirements and better thermal tolerance).

Dumerils are fun. Luna is a little sweetie. I really don't think you could get her to bite you. Even as a 3 month old baby, she is pretty fearless and loves to explore. She's so tiny too, can hold her in 1 hand lol, well not so much anymore as she is growing like a weed but when I got her, she fit in 1 hand pretty easily.

Just make sure if you get one, that it is eating good. I was told that some babies are really hard to get feeding. I got lucky in that Luna was a little fatty when I got her and she eats anything live or FT lol.

And yeah they like it cooler and less humidity. I keep her at about 60% humidity and give her a mid 70s cool side with a spot around 88F for when she wants warmth.

Luna is so beautiful. What do you keep her in now, and what do you see for her as an adult? I have 4 boaphile 421ds and house an adult male Dominican Red Tail Boa in one of them and an adult female BP, who's over 4 feet, in another. I have the other two reserved for DBs. (My wishlist)

Thanks. Luna is pretty awesome. Well right now, I got Luna in a 20 gallon long. She is going to get one of the AP T10s with a shelf as soon as I get the T25s for my boas and retic. Right now I got my 2 boas and retic in this stack which will end being given to my BP, JCP and dumerils. The boas and retic will just get T25s with the same sliding glass doors, locks, shelves, LEDs and flexwatt.

Then the white Constrictors NW cage to the left will either be used as a cleaning cage for when I need to reseal an AP cage or I might sell it locally. Not sure yet.

Funny you say that as I stopped by the reptile shop on my way home from work yesterday morning and he said the same exact thing. He's working on one that needs to eat before he will sell it.

Thanks for the heads up.

In this corner weighing in at an impressive 141g. It's Vlad the Big Green Rat Eating Machine! :partyon:

http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/...pstpsjd4rj.jpg

AND snake eater too!

Welcome Vlad!!:)

nice!

u could have also named the thread "Just a matter of size"

:)

Ha Haaaa!!


If I only followed up on my question at the front of this thread I'd have been in the know.

IF for any reason my retic doesn't work out for my, which is very doubtful LOL!

I'll be looking at the olives. Scrubs were on the list as well, but the olive python is like the world's largest king snake. They will eat about anything!

Well done sir!

I'll keep an eye on your posts. You have one of my favorite collections here.
