The NW Reptile Expo in Willsonville, Oregon. The only one in Oregon/washington that I know of. >.> Sadly they only have them 2 X a year. The Next one is in January.

Kevinb, I wrote a letter to my dad. The biggest thing with his is that he thought the snake would stink. I assured him it wouldn't and wrote a letter, stating why I wanted them, the Pros and Cons, ect.

DellaF, I'll probably just get a normal. XD That's all I think I can afford. XD It's completely fine with me. I LOVE The normal's designs. They're all different!

I have been to the Wilsonville show several times and will be there tomorrow too!! They will have heat pads there and you should even be able to pick up a rather inexpensive thermostat there. Good luck finding your perfect new baby!!!

sweet glad he broke down and agreed.congrats.
walmart also has terra cotta pots in different sizes for like $1 you can use as hides.grab like four of those if you get em because you might ruin a couple learning how to chip away an entrance.i used a monkey wrench grasping edges and pulling off pieces.

petsmart has coconut hides for$2.50 also.you might have to break away a bigger entrance for some..

hmm if you buy hides the night before you might end up coming home with a snake that doesnt fit the hides.watchout.
also when you inspect your potential new reptilian family member look for possible symptoms of illness and injury.doubt theyd take a sick critter to an expo but just in case,ya know.

does soldering wands work on plexi glass too?

i dont use tubs,do uths melt em or have a bad effect on the plastic??

again congrats!!!!!!

Ooo, have fun! I already bougth a heat pad to make sure I could have almost everything undercontrol for when I buy the baby, but I don't think it's working...? So far it's not heating up. IDK how fast it heats up... I guess only time will tell.
I also got a dimmer, so I pretty much have everything I need.
I need to go buy an accurite, but for now I'm just stealing my lizard's to test temps. I'll have to get another.(though he does have a back up thermometer)


I'm just praying I won't feel too sick to go. I've been feeling nauseous for the past few days, mainly in the morning, but today throughout. Not sure what's causing it really... hopefully it won't last though. :3 I'm going to try to feel better so I can go get that snakey though! If not I'll have to wait until January or buy him online. ><

Congrats!!!! I know you've been planning for a while, have fun at the expo! I know it was mentioned earlier in this thread but I want to mention it again. If you use a dimmer you may have to watch the temps cuz they can still fluctuate a bit w/ room temps so try to get a thermostat going as soon as you can. can't wait to see pics of your new little one!

[RondaH]

Well, I hope you do get to feeling better and get to go to the show. It is a fun one!! I always enjoy it.

[fluffpuffgerbil]

Thanks for the replies. ^^ I'll be sure to keep a very close eye on the temps. I should have it about under control.(Messing with dimmer now)


And on the bright side! Mom found pills for nausea that I needed before I had my oral surgery. (I panic whenever I have to go to the doctor. XD) So I'll take one of those before I leave for the expo so I hopefully feel fine in the car. (It's about an hours drive)
I'M DETERMINED TO GO TO THAT EXPO.,
Thanks for all the advice/comments!
