    Unexpected pickup!

    So I was browsing my local craigslist last night when I came upon exactly what I was looking for. A 4' x 2' boaphile cage for my big red tailed boy. I was planning on buying him some brand spankin' new digs in a month or so, but I just couldn't pass up this offer. Fully loaded boaphile: radiant heat panel, fluorescent lighting, and keyed cage locks. All this brand new would cost me over $300 so I didn't hesitate to take him up on his offer of $200.

    So I present to you greg! Now able to stretch out and slither around



    Like my new snake hook?? Yeah me too!!


    Did I mention this boaphile came with a 1300g female normal? Can you believe this tiny snake was in this huge 4' cage? I couldn't be happier to have another adult normal female for my future breeding plans. She looks completely healthy (although quarantine will be the final judge) and just to be sure, I probed her as a female . She is now comfortably housed in my smaller 2' boaphile until QT is up. I think she is a very pretty normal. Nice and fat although she could probably use a couple hundred more grams. She was only getting fed monthly, so I am sure she will appreciate a weekly meal!

    Here she is!

    This is only my second good reptile related CL find. I found a used herpstat for $50. It works like a dream! I cruise craigslist all the time and I usually don't find anything. I had to jump on this deal! And better yet, the guy lived 10 minutes from my house!

    I love when the deals are so close to home, but far enough away it's not creepy.
    I've got off kijiji 2x5 PVC racks for $360, one with the thermostat. Off different people, and one guy told me he paid $400 for his. So, 2 for under the price of one is great.

    I've done hot yoga, had my rear end handed to me the first ever session. It was the advanced lesson, which my friend and I had no idea. I worked harder in that yoga lesson than any of my hockey/football/rugby practices. I miss it though.

    Nice deal!!! I'm keeping my eyes open for some cheap PVC racks. I wish I was moved into my new place so I could snap up some more deals! My apartment is getting really tight..

    Hot yoga is my favorite! It's a great workout but doesn't strain my body so much like tradition exercise. Yoga is way more intense than people give it credit for! I'm amazed at the strength I have built from yoga.
