Money burning a hole in a pocket? You can fund the "Let's buy Aaron S something" bank account.
It's a worthy cause.

fixed it for you
"What do you have?"
A whole lot. (copy/pasted from another thread):
"I have a beardie, a BRB and a hypo hog island boa, a baby hognose, a jackson's chameleon, a snapping turtle, a crested gecko, a veiled chameleon, 2 box turtles, a sulcata, a red-footed tortoise and a newly rescued leopard gecko. I also have a boxer a little mutt dog, two cockatiels, a chicken, 2 twin devilish cats, a fire salamander, and a whole lot of fish."
Very funny guys, more like throw it in the bank and add money to Kick10's account. How about an exchange? It is my birthday Monday after all. hint hint. in case anybody is feeling generous.

Wow with a collection that big I wouldn't have time to take care of all of them. But that's just me.
I'll always recommend morelia pythons. Green trees, carpets..etc.
yeah I personally dont really like carpets and GTP's are gorgeous but i really would enjoy something that i could hold more.

I just recently met someone who claims to handle her GTP daily without Ill effects. Not sure if that's true or not, but it was said. She said "It's basically just based on personality like it id with any other snakes. Some will let you hold them every day, some won't even let you clean their cage, let alone hold them.".

To some extent I believe this to be true. Although Gtp's are generally sensitive snakes, I see this personality difference with my pair.
My male doesn't like to be held. He can be held and doesn't bite but he does everything he can to hold onto what he's perched on when I try to take him out and starts huffing and puffing.When out of the cage he doesn't move at all and wraps around my arm with his head tucked in his coils like a ball python, looking very scared. I don't handle him for this reason.
My female on the other hand just needs to be tickled before she unwraps herself and climbs onto my hand. Once out of her cage she is very active and inquisitive just like my carpets. Doesn't seem to mind at all and actually seems to be curious of her surroundings. She shows no sign of stress when being handled.

ackies, sd retic, dart frogs, leachianus, or get a mate for one of your current pets.

Collection is not complete without a corn.

A very nice Honduran Milk Snake morh or perhaps a Mexican Black Milk snake would be a nice addition to your rather eclectic collection. Great snakes that get to a nice size and are very mello once they get acclimated. Just a thought...

Don't steal my bank account ideas...
For handable GTP's? Lori, lady_bug87 on this forum, has one that is completely handable during the day. Still frightens me when she messes with it's head and my hands/arms/face are within striking distance...
Last time I thought I had money burning a hole in my pocket - I ended up at a Urologist. It wasn't money. Seriously though, I've always been fond of Beauty Snakes and they get to a good size!

A MBK would be a nice addition.
Sorry, im not 100% familiar with some of these abbreviations and dont know what some of these are. I would really like a Leachianus but they do get quite expensive. I was also looking at Halmaheras and Gargoyle geckos, do any owners have some potentially useful information.
Collection is not complete without a corn.
I had a corn as a little terror toddler and it was my favorite. I was thinking about it but no offense but they are a bit boring. Some color combos are cool but the prices start to skyrocket the better they look.
Also, most Colubrids are just not my thing. I only got my hognose for my sister and i have it until she has a stable place to live. Kings and such are cool but I'm not too big of a fan of exact, concise, clear patterns on snakes. Just not my cup of tea.

Not allowed to have Retics unfortunately and what is an Ackie Monitor? I have never heard of it..

I am sorry. You don't like carpets? No hope for you then :(
Hahaha just kidding. Have you ever handled an adult carpet? Always a great experience. Have a peek at some of the jags out there. I have talked a few people into carpets and they are all very happy with them.

Another vote for MBK! I absolutely love mine!

Carpets are cool but i think i may be looking for something a bit smaller. Plus if i had even something semi arboreal, that means a huge tank and i have to trick it out. I don't have *that* much money unfortunately. :no:
What are MBK's like. I have never had a king snake and obviously all snakes are diff. personality wise but do they have tendencies and such?

My MBK is shy and still a little flighty but she's a sweetheart after she's been handled for a few minutes. I've only had her for 4 months and love her to pieces. She's not quite as voracious of an eater as my Cal King but she's a good eater too. I really love their sleek look.

Flying gecko! Hehe :p
Can never go wrong with carpets ;)
EDIT: just saw you don't really want to invest in a carpet ;P I love GTP's as well, but they'd be just as much space. Hm.

My MBK, Medusa is a sweetheart! Loves to get out of her enclosure. Climbs onto my hand and chills most of the time.

One of the great things is that they display almost alk of the time. (Most anyway) so a taller viv is a showpiece not a hindrance. My breeder viv is 4x2x4. Not crazy huge or anything. Still sits out 2' from a wall, just taller.

There are small variations of jungle carpet pythons such as palmerstons, cowley beach,vandeventer that usually grow to 4-6ft.
And I find an arboreal set up to be much less work and money than a terrestrial setup. With a terrestrial setup you have to cover the floor with lots of things to make it a "display" cage. With an arboreal set up you just need a few branches or a perch(some people use chairs, ladders, pvc pipes..etc).
