    Valentine's day present
    I saw this guy at the pet shop yesterday, and told my girlfriend about him (her?) when I got home. Today, she asked if we could go back to get some stuff for her cockatiel. When we got there, she walked in, pulled a big red construction paper heart out of her purse with "happy valentine's day" written all over it, and slapped it on this guys cage.

    He's a ghost corn, about 3-3.5 ft long, and a little over two years old.

    I'll buy reptiles from this particular pet shop. The store is always spotless, the animals in good condition in clean cages. The owner has been in business for 36 years, and in the same location for the last 29. Not what you'd call a "fly-by-night" operation. But as a rule, no, most pet shops that do carry reptiles are pretty disgusting.

    yea the local guy that just opened up was pretty good when he opened but now it's all about how much he can get in and how many free snakes he can take in and sell for more than he gives the people that don't want them anymore and he has had alot of the same snakes in since he opened. SO i don't deal with getting anything off him anymore.

    Very nice cornsnake and very nice girlfriend! I bet some of our single members are thinking "hmmm wonder if she has a sister???" as heck what person wouldn't want a partner that surprises them with snakes for major holidays! (I got Rionach for Mother's Day LOL).

    I sure do like her!!!! And it was a TOTAL surprise! She's not really "into" snakes, but her six year old daughter is fascinated, so its something we can do as a family. When I was mentioning it to her, I was actually thinking about buying it for her daughter so she could have "her" snake (under my very close supervision of course).

    And yes, she does have a sister, who may be moving down to phoenix this spring.;)

    Poor girl. Heh.



    My psychiatrist tells me it's not what you do on Valentines day that counts. It's what you do the other 364 days of the year.

    You should mention that to your g/f if you want a bigger snake collection.

    Well, that was the other reason why I was so surprised. I've been bouncing off the walls for a week waiting for my TWO Yellowhead Tiger Reticulated's to ship! So when she bought me this one, I asked her, "are you sure?", and she said, "its just a little one, it won't eat much". How's THAT for Cool?

    BTW, the tigers got here this morning!!!
