Someone suggested to my wife that we have an intervention to keep me from getting more snakes. This is how it panned out.

Tomorrow I get to pick up my two new balls. The girl said they were an adult male and female. They have been housed together thier whole life in a 4'x2' cage. I will separate. They are about 3 years old from what I hear.

I also talked to a guy who said he knew of someone that needed to find a new home for thier 4'-5' female RTB. He said the guy would probably charge me about $40 for the big girl. Shannon gave me a dirty look, then said we will name the new RTB and the one I am getting from Clay who is a male Samson and Delilah. I will probably have the female RTB this week and the male RTB with in 3 weeks.

I also talked her into a Blizzard Corn Snake when the weather gets good.

The only concession I had to make is to have her a custom lizard rack built. It will be a 4 stack to hold all of her lizards in the same place. She also agreed to let me build a 10-12 stack ball/corn rack. 10-12 stacks means 10-12 snakes, plus I will have some cages freed up ( imagine the possibilities). I am also getting a room in the house that will be my office/herp room. I will have room for all the herps, my computer, gun cabinets, TV, PS2, and Xbox. I am also putting a mini fridge and a food chopper in there for lizard food, frozen rats, frozen mice and beer. Am I missing anything important?

I made adjustments to the rack tonight and I am going to see how that work out. I added a dimmer switch from Matt to the rack and will be using that instead of a thermostat. We have eyes on the rack almost 24/7 and can monitor the temps very easily. So I think a dimmer will work better until I get my new rack built. I taped the outside part of the Accurite right over the plastic which has flexwatt taped to the bottom of it. Maybe that is wrong. I also had 5 feedings while I was tinkering with stuff.

Can we have an intervention about my gun collection soon. The gun show will be here in May and I have taken a liking to WWII weapons.
