Re: Have you taken your BP to work or anywhere else?
Hey OhBalls
Adds a lot, thanks for that
Great to see how it can actually help others. They use pets of the furry variety quite often in special hospitals, old age homes etc as it tends to help the patients.
So many people say that when they get home after a stressful day it helps them to unwind by spending time with their pets. Some have a cat (I've got 3 ) sit in their lap, a dog (I've got 2 ) to play with, fish (I've got none, but had 5 ) to look at, so what's to stop a BP from doing the same

Well dangit! I just went and bought a normal female BP today 
I've been looking for an older woman for Samson . Delilah is probably 8-10 months old and a good deal bigger than Samson. Problem is she is taking live prey so I'll need to get her switched to f/t.
Anyhoo. I was driving past my workplace on the way back from collecting her and decided to stop off to show my guys there. Again there were screeches when they saw the bag coming but this time they all came round to have a look. I kept her in the bag and gave each guy a chance to peer in
They at first thought it was Samson and asked how come he's grown so big so fast! There was laughter when I told them that this was Samson's girlfriend. In some of the cultures here big women are seen as favourable over normal sized ladies, so Samson was apparently getting a good deal

Re: Have you taken your BP to work or anywhere else?
Here she is folks
Delilah


She purdy..... I like it when you get those ghost shapes down the side, poor Samson has none at all... She is tame as a kitten as well, no aggresiveness noted yet...
Also I've noted the stuck shed. Shed shed a couple days before I got her and has already gotten rid of most of it.
She'll hopefully be the mother of my first clutch, but there'll be some waiting yet. I expect she is about 8 months old or so. Samson is 5 months(almost 6) and is is visibly larger than he is. I'll weigh her in a few days time once she's settled a bit....

Re: Have you taken your BP to work or anywhere else?
Hey ViciousBliss
Thanks for stopping by.
Shame to hear about the lamp burns, what happened with that? I've read a lot on this forum that BPs don't really need a lamp, much rather underbelly heat
I've got a 100W infra red lamp which I put on at night when it gets cold. It's not in the actual tank but placed outside and used to heat the tank up a few degrees, not close enough to make the glass hot to the touch though.
Oh yah, before I forget, I picked up another female BP today! I want to get hold of one more female for Samson. I've actually got a 3ft'r lined up who should be ready for breeding next year. I'm not sure if the other 2 will be ready this time next year so I'm keen to get hold of this mature female.....

didnt know the woman, and i had my male BP, and she walks up to me, pokes akua, says "Your going to hell because you keep those things of the devil"
and i was like mmhmm mam, thats not true, bible says not to call anything unclean that God made clean... she huffed and stormed off...
but i was like hot dang, good thing akua dont bite considering she poked him... lol

when im in a sitch that i dont know the people, and how they react to snakes, i stay away from groups, and generally i have a friend or my mom tell them "hey, she has a snake over there, your welcome to look, but i wanted to warn you." =]

really? me to... i had one guy tell me i was holding a rattle snake.. i showed him akua's tail and was like uh no rattle sir, and he was like "yep, you prolly cut them off so people didnt run scared. i saw one jus like that in my back yard, its a rattler"
man was dead serious to =] some people are just dumb
