I've been wanting to increase my snake collection for a long time. I want to breed ball pythons and other species, even though realistically I won't be able to start for a while. There's just not enough room at my current place. I can start collecting a few animals and raising them up though.

I went to wander around the local petco today and saw that they have a baby spider ball available for $199. Work has been going well recently and I just happen to have that much in surplus money. I want to buy him really badly (not even sure if its a him, they haven't sexed it), but I'm sure my brother would object. I want to try and convince him to let me get it, even though I really shouldn't. I've got plenty of other things to spend $200 on. Its just that he's such a pretty little guy, he's showing quite a bit of white and he only has a minor head wobble. I held him for a few minutes and saw him roam around the cage, and his head corkscrewed once each time he was trying to run his nose along the top of the enclosure.

Its driving me nuts knowing he's just sitting there and not coming home with me.
