Holiday gifts for herpers! What's on your list?

[simplechamp]

Well the holiday shopping rush is going to start soon. What are some herp related (or other) gifts you would like to give and/or receive? I know we sometimes forget the "reason for the season", but let's face it, we all want some nice loot!

I would like to get a CHE so I don't have to sleep with that darn red light on anymore, and possibly a big bale of Harlan-Teklad shredded aspen.

As far as giving, I made this thread because I always struggle coming up with cool and unique gift ideas, so help me out!

A male Lesser BP!!!!...but I may have to get that one for myself!

I told the GF that what I really want is a digital scale that reads in grams.

Told the kids to get me ties...I know that's not very exciting, but I wear a suit to work every day, and you can never have too many ties.

[twh]

all i want is many ovulations !!!

More snakes and another rack. Oh, and I'd like a crested gecko.
I probably won't get any of it but they're still on my list.

i completely agree i just want my 2 girls to have a problem free full term and for the eggs to do the same but if we are talking hypothetical here then i would have to say to have all my credit cards paid off

New heat lamps...
and to re-home the boas and put that bit of money into some slick cages for the rest of my snakums.


mom and dad said no more snakes for a while.
but if i could, i want a female het pied, and a female mojave... or a mojave pair... lol

[instinct27]

I could definitely use an additional heat lamp.

Oh yes! I'd especially like my 66% PH Pied girl to prove out with my 100% Het Pied boy...

But, other than that, I'd really like Dr. Seward's BP breeding DVD collection,
the Barker Ball Python book, and/or the Ball Pythons in the Wild DVD.

I'd like a good pre-built snake rack, and perhaps an incubator. However nobody is going to buy these things for me because my herper friends are just as poor as me. But I do plan on saving up for them.

I also want a female yellowbelly and a black milksnake, but I told myself no more snakes until I get a proper snake rack. The setup I have now is kind of crowded.

I'd never give an animal as a surprise gift, even to a herp lover. By giving them an animal you are forcing them to pay for its care, which is not fair. OP, if you have a herper friend and you're looking for a gift... I'd say anything from ReptileBasics Gosh I love that site.

More breeding some of my pairs just aren't interested right now.
