My original plan several months ago was to breed them. Thought they would be good for the eventual snakes. (Turns out, most keepers feel the hide is too hard for snakes to digest - even the Peruvians just traditionally singe the hair off; apparently skinning them is a pain.) I know they breed slowly, but for me, they aren't any extra work when raised with rabbits.

The house is filling up...two days ago I draged in our Monstera (I think that is what it is), Basically, the Anaconda of house plants. (I think an anaconda enclosure might even take up less room.) It weighs at least 80 pounds. It was a pain to live with for the last two winters, and this summer, it grew even bigger. I don't want the thing to die...it's glorious...but, we can't continue to LIVE with it!
You don't have to deal with chasing him, really. You can just put a dog house in his pen with hay and shavings in it if there's enough space. They will go in when they're cold.
