I will attest to the fact that my family has gone snake-crazy. They have. It's so bad that they're borderline unreasonable. I showed this thread to my husband and told him about what y'all think. Do you think it mattered? Heck, no. He decided to drive 2 hours to Orlando to check out the snake, 2 kids in tow, ON A SCHOOL NIGHT! Anyway, this is how crazy it went - I sent the guy an email asking for information. He said he got the snake from a Repticon show in Orlando last year. Said the snake was born in July. Guaranteed female by both the breeder at the Repticon show and his local vet. Very easy-going - he has kids too that play with the snake a lot. But, he said she is a picky eater. He said she is offered food every week but she misses weeks lots of times. He said he can meet tonight. Well, I thought the "picky eater" part will discourage my husband, but no. He still wanted to see it. So he gets off work, tells the kids to pack up because we're going on a roadtrip. I didn't even get the guy's phone number yet and where we are supposed to meet! Anyway, an hour into the drive he finally calls me and we set up a meeting place - this gas station by I-4. So we get there, my husband checks the snake out, talks to the guy for quite some time (he is a young, nice guy!), goes to the ATM at the gas station and hands the guy 400 bucks. My jaw dropped. I didn't expect to get the snake on the spot! I thought we were going to sleep over it first. Well, too late now. I don't even have an enclosure prepared yet. I know, bad right? So, we get home at midnight, I scramble to get an enclosure readied. I got a 10-gallon with a heat lamp with a night glo bulb (whew!). I had to mutilate 2 tupperwares to use as hides and another tupperware for the water bowl. She is on newspaper until she gets a vet visit. No temp or humidity gauges, no thermostat, nothing. I know I'm not doing this right but I'm doing the best I can with what I have. I have to say, she is pretty for an albino (I'm not a big fan of albinos). I still think Mike's snake is prettier though (brighter yellow). I don't know what came over my family. We've seen several albinos for sale at the pet store and online ads. But for some reason, my husband just had this crazy urge to get this one. I'll post pictures when I get a chance. I'll be busy getting her a proper enclosure tomorrow!
