Re: camera happy :D
Thanks! I was really lucky with him, he was the last Spider this place had and I think he was 200, down from 275ish. They're each going to have their own tubs, and they were actually separated until about a month ago, when one's heat stopped working and the others' cage was broken by a mishandled electric guitar, thanks to my lovely little six year old cousin I've just been waiting until the next show in Tinley to remedy the problem. Luckily it's next weekend 
Those pictures are so sad Is it something that just occasionally happens with BPs, or do you think that they weren't fed properly? I could see a starving ball going for another. The boa doesn't surprise me. I babysat a friend's a few years back, and man, was that thing a trash bag I think it would've eaten my 70 pound dog, if I let it, hahaha (I'm laughing, but it probably would have )

I wish I could get a rack, but for now I just use plain ol' sterilite tubs. They work fine though, just the cords bother me a little. And nice! Great deal for such a beautiful snake!
I wouldn't believe something like that would happen occasionally, but it can happen. I would guess rarely, since Ball pythons seem friendly to each other, but you never really know. I'm not surprised about the boa either, but I am sort of pissed off that the boa was housed with a Ball python. There is what happens when you stick two different species in one enclosure, of a different size though. I can't wait for my boa to get big, that'll be just awesome.

Yeah, I wouldn't ever put such different species or sizes together, that's when it gets highly irresponsible. I'd love a big boa, maybe one day when I move out and my dad isn't having a fit over every new little frog I bring in, let alone a snake, hahaha

My mom keeps sayin' no when I ask for more snakes, yet she lets me foster for as many as I want. I'll be fostering for some surrenders to get them off of my boss's hands for a bit to make things easier. They got like 500 reptiles put into our sanctuary from the raid in Arlington so I'm trying to help. Still, I'm going to foster for more than 5 snakes, but I can't have this ONE snake that will cost less than all of these fosters combined. Wonderful.

Yeah, some people are trying to get me not to foster some because of the diseases they could have, and I am aware of that, but I do have a room where they will be separate of my other reptiles and I know certain precautions to take. I never mind helping out, and that is what I'll do to get some of these snakes off of my boss's hands so they have less snakes to feed and worry about. I'll definitely be sure to give them the best care needed (I'm only caring for the ones I know how to care for).

Yeah, I mean, if you can, by all means do so. Those animals deserve to be cared for

Re: camera happy :D
Those are some beautiful cage set-ups you have there. I love planted terrariums 
The only thing I would watch out for is the toad. They will eat anything that can fit in their mouth. I had a toad once that ate his tank mate and I had a bullfrog which ate his green frog tank mate. All 4 were the same size!
Frogs and toads are eating machines. He's the only one Id worry about. Wouldnt want him to eat the treefrog.
I do love the pictures tho.

Thanks! The toad's about the size of a nickel though, so I'm not to worried about him yet, hahaha. When I was younger, I used to go to lakes and ponds near my house and catch frogs, and would release them back the next time I went there. I remember letting a little leopard frog go, and watch it getting swallowed whole by a bullfrog two seconds later. Never again will I make that mistake! He's only staying until the summer time, when he'll go with us on vacation back to where he came from (my grandparents have a cabin in Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin). He's definitely not sticking around long enough to get that big

You bet.
Nothing's going to change my mind about fostering these reptiles.
