Two New Additions (..And Another on The Way)

[Kymberli]

Nice pick ups!
Never had a milk snake, but have to admit, they are eye catchers.

I had honestly never considered getting one, because of how small they are, but after seeing their potential size I think they've been under appreciated. I'm glad I lucked out and was offered these two. Great start to a nice little Colubrid collection.

Congrats! They are both really pretty.

Thank you! I've been terribly busy the last couple days but I keep finding myself opening their tubs to check on them. I'm so used to using paper towels as substrate with my BPs it's very strange having aspen that the Milks can bury themselves in. I've realized they've actually created solid tunnels throughout the aspen because I made it so thick.
They're great but the normal gave me a heart attack the first night I had it home. They're in a melamine rack with 12qt tubs and I pulled its tub out to check on it.. pulled up all of the hides and it was gone! Then I realized it was under the aspen under the ceramic water bowl. With a couple inches of aspen in a 12qt tub, these little noodles have a large range of space to hide in. These tiny snakes are going to be the end to my sanity. So easy to lose track of.

I was told by someone who came to this Super Show in the past that a few years back it was in another part of the building and was about four times the size of this one. It was a lot smaller than I had expected, seeing as it was labeled as "the world's largest reptile show". Also, it was extremely crowded which made browsing very difficult.. I have high anxiety so the pushing and refusal of people to allow me to come up to the booth to see the animals made me nervous. I talked to some great people, as usual, and talked to the guy I will be getting my feeders from in Vegas for the second time at a show. It was fun, but after such a long drive and also having to pay for gas, parking, and entry I just wanted to get my snakes back home and take a nap, hahaha.

I just thanked you for the response, but just thought I'd thank you again. Much appreciated Kymberli!

BTW, have you figured out the horse situation yet?? did you get them to Vegas yet? Or have you not moved yet? I really hope everything works out for you.. keep working at it and stay positive.. things always come together if you do!! GOOD LUCK!!

I'm trying to sell one of them and three of my miniature donkeys, but it's going to be difficult. It's about $3,000 to move them all and get proof of health certificates form the vet.

Just to echo Kymberli's thoughts about the crowds... it was ridiculous! I couldn't get a good look at ANY booth, and possibly missed out on a potential buy. I didn't bother looking at TSK's booth, and wanted to chat with Jeff Luman (since I bought a ball from him at Pomona), but just decided to get my feeders and get the heck out of Dodge. It's a shame for the sellers, as I had a fat stack of cash in my pocket.
