    *glares at dog* the snake is so fresh, he's not even listed on the breeder's site yet! Maybe, just maybe, I'll get really lucky and he won't sell fast...

    Seems to me, the whole 'not getting the snake you want' is a common issue for us addicts!

    Well, hopefully he won't. Deposit an option?

    The man keeps telling me "no". Just not fair, I buy him gun after gun and accessories and all I want is one more no legged pet. <a pewter>but noooooo, he just can't seem to wipe that word from his vocab.

    I think it's time to go on strike.

    The breeder does accept deposits, but the dogs surgery took literally every penny from this paycheck so I can't even give a down payment until the first week of September *sigh* (and I just want to restate, I don't actually blame the dog. If she was seriously injured, it'd be another story but she's not major injuries so I can whine about her)

    I told my guy no more of x unless I got what I wanted. Worked well!

    My coral albino girl decided she wanted to go for a stroll, but due to the last time she did that, I've been keeping the fatty male BP's tub on top of hers. So instead of an escape, she scraped up her nose and the bottom of her jaw, and it got a bit infected. At least the vet visit was quick and easy, and they even gave me a bit of a discount (plus way more ointment than I could possibly use on two little scrapes, gotta find out the shelf life on that, it'll be handy to have around just in case). And of course this is the girl who's breeder's been on me for updated pics of, and I just finally found the charge cord for me camera xD

    Lotus, isn't that the way it goes? You don't find the camera until either the snake is in shed or found some way to hurt themselves. Love that fun lol

    My snake frustration (not really with my own snakes) is there are morphs I want and can't have because they cost way more than I'm willing to pay (be willing to trade... if my snakes were old/big enough and breeding...), and because right now there are a lot of odd expenses that keep coming up, preventing me from being able to reasonably justify the purchase of even an inexpensive snake (I'd really like to get a butter, or a calico even, and as inexpensive as those are, I can't justify it right now - for some reason all three of our vehicle registrations are due within the same three months, and the DMV is requiring smog checks for 2 of those, and the dog decided to get sick, I think she ate chicken poop and got some kind of minor bacterial infection, but after puking for a week the vet decided she needed $300 worth of medical tests, couldn't find a cause, and ultimately prescribed a 2 week course of $150 antibiotics! besides the other random and regular odds and ends that come and go... bills, daycare costs, car repairs, food, etc). Oh well. Just trying to patiently wait it out.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    Mine are 2 racks that I hate. They were free pretty much and needed them for the space. But almost every tub is a super tight fit and the side and back are not fully enclose, therefore allowing a lot of light to come in.

    I hope that the next batch of babies I hatch will generate enough revenue to replace these annoying things.
