    Re: Vin Russo.

    BELIEVE me I wish I could find someone local and actually see the snake first and interact with it. I got it from a local reptile shop and just got lucky with mine. From what I was told as he usually deals with breeders "throw aways" and charges a little higher than he should, but you can do that when you're the only guy in town.

    Sooooo, I'm forced to find someone online and hopefully be able to trust them.

    Hey thanks - what's the name of the shop? Maybe I'll road trip it sometime.

    I've got deposits on a dumeril and a caulkers cay boa right now. Might look into another ball eventually but really wanted something I could interact with a bit more and not feel like I was bothering it. I already have 3 cats that their only use for me is to feed them daily LOL

    Wherebouts are you? Getting some snow today that's for sure - about 4-6" on the ground here.

    Look into a SD retic. You will definitely have your hands full with one of those. Since having Caesar, its like I'm learning new stuff about retics daily haha. First off, throw everything you know about boas out the window with retics. They eat more, eat a lot larger and pee all over their cages. Some will pee on you as Gio and Jmcrook can probably verify. I've dodged the bullet so far as Caesar just pisses in his cage all the time but never on me or when outside. And did I say they love to eat? lol. I think one would make a good compliment to a boa and dumerils as both of those are generally loungers especially the dumerils. The retic would give you that 'excitement' you want haha. I say if you get one, get one from either Vital Exotics although last I looked Kris didn't have any SDs or check out Daniel Solis. Jmcrook got his from Daniel and I've heard good things about him too. But regardless, make sure you get a SD from a reliable guy as anyone can say 'its a SD' and then 2 years later, you got a 14' snake hahaha.

    Although I will say, Vicky has been very exploratory the past few days. I'm guessing she's hungry as she's used to eating every 2 weeks but she is starting to look a little chunky to me so i'm pushing her out to every 3 weeks. That might be why she is cruising all over. I open her cage door when I I'm watching tv and she hangs out the door. This is what she does for hours on top of just hanging there with only her head out.

    I hear what your saying about something that you can interact with..Im a Burm guy.. I absolutely love them, it wish I could get a midget lmbo.... Like Sauzo said everyone is into Retics now days, but im just not interested in the the attitude even though some are docile they wont be what I have always had.. Burms & Balls are puppy dogs compaired lol. Sorry Sauzo hahahaha... Im getting antsy waiting for this nee enclosure man... I cant beleive its only been like 6 weeks.. Im only like 1/2 way supposedly!!!

    Sully, I just busted a gut when I saw your new avatar meme!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I've never had that problem. All my snakes ignore my dogs and cat. Whether the snakes are caged or out. Also the dogs and cat show little attention towards the snake.

    Now I have had Butch, one of my Boas slam into the glass a few times while in hunger mode when I walked by.
