Honduran milk...? Already 6'.

That ad is humorous! "Needs new home by order of owner's hysterical mother!" But... I don't know that I'd get that guy, unless they are willing to come down on the "rehoming fee". I haven't paid much attention to prices on milk snakes, but I have a hard time imagining you can't get a baby at a show for that price or less, and then you'll know more about its history, etc.

Of course, if you want the critter cage, etc. that comes with him, that makes it a better deal, but I think I remember you talking about having your snakes in tubs?

Yes, the ad was funny! I already mentioned that I didn't think I could swing the $100. She seemed like she would work with me on that, so we'll see. Since he's diurnal, a tank is OK. He'll be a display snake.

I'll keep you posted.

The Honduran Milk lady never emailed me back. So I think someone else was willing to pay her fee. Guess it's just not meant to be. I'm working on a bird right now anyway. And I found out today that chincilla's give me hives!

How about a Giant Madagascan Hognose? They can get 7 to 9 ft and have that great Hoggie personality.

Got any pictures? So many snakes and so little time! EEEEKKK!

Hoggies are awesome! I only have experience with Western Hognose though. The giant hogs are insane!

when she was a tiny noodle baby.

This will be stuck in my head all day tomorrow.....

It's leucistic Texas ratsnakes for me all the way......pure white snake with icy blue-gray eyes, and a bright red tongue. Super cool. Second choice is the noodle baby.. The are gorgeous snakes. I named mine Petunia.

Nope, I still say it's corns corns corns! So many morphs, so little time (or space).

And that is a huge bummer on the chinchillas! That is the one mammal I fully intend to have someday soon!

(Oh, and Casey...I hate you for getting a gold AND a silver dragon!! )

Trans pecos rat snake??? One is needing a home... Thoughts?
