Here's Norbert.....

Just wanted to share a nice post shed pic. He's the oddball of the group. Some days he lets me pat him on the head, other days he's scared of his own shadow. :rolleyes: He's always sweet though - no hissing period. We just think he's special. ;)

He's gorgeous!!

Good genes at work there! ;)

I know I'm biased, but I completely agree Jamie! :w00t:

Adam - Yes sir, he sure does!! I'm hoping there are some nice hypo genes in there too! What an absolute shock it will be if I could happen to produce a nice pastel hypo. :please: Oh please oh please oh please!!! He should make some mighty fine babies either way. :D

I think you guys need a few more het hypo girls for him! ... But that's just me. :P

LOL

-adam

Don't worry, I'll be back for more!! I'm hoping maybe some nice pieds next. :psychotic Maybe a couple more hypos wouldn't hurt either, but I've got to pace myself a little. Next thing you know the kids are sharing a room and I've commandeered two rooms for my little horde! Muh ha ha ha !!! :devilish:

My son has a rack in his room for "his snakes" with Rescus Heros on top of it ... it's all good!

:D

-adam

Awww Christie he's too cute! I just love that name too, for some reason "Norbert" just cracks me up LOL.

It's awfully sad when you start looking at townhome floor plans and instead of counting closests and bathrooms you find yourself going "hmmm, racks would fit nicely there, now where would I put the breeder rats?" I think I knew I was lost when I started dividing a snake's purchase price by Mike's hourly overtime wage after taxes LMAO!


~~Jo~~

Wow! He's a stunner! What a lovely snake!! :)


I'm sure whomever helped to pick him out for you deserves a VERY nice Christmas present!! :P :D

Hey I took you out to the Melting Pot last year, since your husband refused to take you. (oh and the added benefit of me going too!! ;) ) This year I'll have to try and help with your ever increasing additions for next year..... (grrrr rotten timing, just gotta mess with my fun but I'm not bitter :neener: ) Plus who else would field all those questions about the cooking times for this meat or that for you? HUH!! LOL!! :hug:

I completely agree. I moved into this house before snake ownership, and it's just not quite right. Thank goodness the kids don't NEED a playroom. They got bedrooms for that right? LOL!! I still have quite a bit of room left in there. :doh:

he's looking good, hope the hypo gene is there, hypo pastels are awesome!

that spare room will fill up quick, i'm already dreaming about 2 car garages! lol


vaughn

Thank Vaughn. I hope so too!! Producing a hypo pastel would probably have me running through the streets jumping all over the place and screaming. LOL!! ;) I can dream!

Hey I have a garage, but I've never thought about converting that into a nice snake room. Who needs to park in there anyway? I've been eyeing the storage shed in the backyard. It'd need a lot of insulation, but it's already got electricity running to it. Plus there's the whole convincing the husband thing to give up his little house. *sigh*

i drove by a house the other day that had a 4 car garage behind it, i just started smiling! lol if i had a garage it would be full, 3-4 freedom breeder racks,incubator room,baby/juvie room, big screen tv and a big couch! lol


vaughn

My husband keeps trying to stuff a pool table in there! SHEESH!

Are ya dreaming of having the projection tv's so you can make the entire garage door the screen? Shoot, your wife would have to be crazy to let you do that, she might never see your again! LOL!! ;)

What a handsome fella! So cute!! :love:

Wow, I sure am slow lately!!

Yes, you did indeed take me to the melting pot, BUT that was for all of my wonderfulness! I picked Norbert out for you AFTER that...sheesh.

BTW - Christie is not referring to my cute little 100% het hypo addition after the new year but the screaming, crying bundle of love that leaves presents in their pants and spits up on you kind of addition ;)

Seeing as how they probably won't let a 9 month pregnant lady on a plane despite the fact that their are snakes to see in Daytona I can no longer go next year...sniff...

You just have to do the whole childbirth thing during my trip to Daytona! THE NERVE!! :neener: And I won't be able to go the following year, as I will hopefully be in Hawaii!! (keeping fingers crossed) HA! I may still go without you so ... NAH! ;) We'll see. *sigh* I soooo want to go to Daytona! It sounds so awesome. :love:

Okay pregnancy trumps all else so I get to happily hijack this thread LOL.....


CONGRATS WENDY (and family)! What wonderful news right before Christmas! Sorry you will miss Daytona but August is the BEST month to have a baby LOL.


~~Jo (born in August funny enough! :banana: )

Christie, you are trying to use the whole 10 yr anniversary trip to Hawaii thing to get out of the following year???? Now, I'm building a PERSON! That's an excuse...none of this mamsy pamsey Hawaii vacation thing!

Jo, my husband is trying to get me to "hold on" for an extra week and a half so I can have the baby on his birthday...the 27th...yeah, right... ;)

Thanks for the good wishes! :D

Nope August 15th the best day LOL

My oldest daughter was born on October 27th, my older brother was all miffed and said "what you couldn't have her on my birthday!" (October 26th).

I won't repeat what I said, after all this is a family site, but it was something along the lines of NOT being too stubborn to deliver her before midnight just to spite him! (By midnight I was too busy cussing and deciding that all men were evil spawn's of satan if my memory is correct LOL)

Whew ... soooo glad you're out of the closet with this one! ... You should have heard me and gozer going back and forth for an hour last week with "What do you know?" ... "No, what do YOU know?" ... LOL ... she was dying!

Congrats again Wendy!

LOL...she told me about that one! She came into my classroom yesterday and harassed my 8th period students...she can be quite mean! Granted I have some kids in that class that need that so I didn't complain too loudly!

Thanks for the good wishes! Now start working on those 8 Ball Python onesies! ;) :D

Ok, now I can defend myself here missie! Actually if I said what I was thinking I'd probably get slapped, so maybe I'll wait until you are more physically hampered. ;) After spending 10 years with my husband, I whole hearted DESERVE that trip to Hawaii missy and you know it!! (Yes I love my husband but it's like living with a 8 year old!!) Besides the fact that I planned this trip WAY before you decided to get busy. :neener: AND I am a way cool sister (with all that good advice and cooking times) ... SO THERE!! :devilish:
