Last 2, I swear!

[Minkness]

Picked up 2 more rescues from the same lady. These guys were actually in pretty good condition.

The female is the albino, and really pretty with orange and punk accents (hard to pick up with cell phone camera). However, she is a total pisser. She actually hooded up, struck, and nusked like CRAZY when she was uncovered in her tank. And holding her takes some bravery. She doesn't bite (all bluff) but she is a very active SQUIRM!

The male is a high yellow conda, pretty placid really. Nothing noticably 'different' about jim other than his amazing reduced pattern.

Also...may I just say that I have the BEST MOM EVER!!! She's letting me keep my mice! ^_^

That being said, I am 100% unrevocably DONE getting ANYTHING new until we get that house! Lol.

The male is Osiris to go along with Horus and Ra. Not sure on the female yet since my other (normalgreen phase) is just Emma lol. Might change her name though. =)

Anyway, here's some photos. The femalewould NOT hold still!

[EL Ziggy]

They're both gorgeous Mink but I love that female! Beautiful new additions. Promises promises!

[Tsubaki]

Gorgeous :D congrats!!

[wrecker45]

No more reptiles HAHAHA. Nice snakes by the way.

[Minkness]

No more until I have a house ;)

Then I'll work towards a few boas (brazillian and BCI) more BPs (banana and BEL) and a vine snake. ^_^

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Will try to gwt better pics of the albino later. Her colors really are wild!

[wrecker45]

Your a reptiholic. I'm still laughing. :D

[Minkness]

My mom and best friend are my sponsors to keep me on the wagon =)

[wrecker45]

What do you think guys. Do we believe him.

[Minkness]

Believe in meeeee!!!!

[eminart]

Jealous. Need more herps...


Congrats!

[Minkness]

Dude, people in my area are giving snakes away left and right. Ir at least super cheap. There's a breeding sized male woma in the ads now along with some nice corns, a cali king, several BPs, ect.

It can be hard to abstain for sure, but I must be strong!

[trailblazer295]

Famous words lol you're going to be swearing a lot ;)

[lady_bug87]

... famous last words my dear. Famous. Last. Words.

[Minkness]

Hey, I didn't say forever. Just till I get a house. Should only take 2-3 years. =)

[Minkness]

So, who's going to run the bet if I can stick to this or not? Lol

[toddnbecka]

Soooo, what's the deal on the woma? I'd make the drive if it was worth it, lol.
As for your "sponsors" keeping you on track I'd suggest a straight jacket and maybe a couple of baseball bats in case you wiggle out of the hair shirt. ;)
The hoggies and maybe even the BP's will likely be breeding age before you have that house. My mom used to say "Life is what happens while you're making other plans..." What's that old saying about good intentions paving the road to hell? :p

[Minkness]

Lol! Todd....

As for the woma (who I believe is 6 foot) the woman is asking 250 or trade for some stuff. Go to the nashville Craigslist pets section and search Woma or python and you'llsee him.

As for breeding before getting a house....probably not lol. I didn't get these guys to breed them. Even if the idea is kind of neat. My geckos keep me plenty busy in that area as it is! Lol.

As it is I need more/better enclosures just to fit them all! So, I'll be continuing my haunt on Craigslist for some nice, front opening enclosures that are bug enough for my larger babies. The plan is to get 2 exoterras that sre 36x18x18 though the ont that is the same size but a little shorter would be fine too. Otherwise I may be stuck making my own lol. That could be really fun..

[trailblazer295]

We need a private thread that Mink is blocked from to start placing bets. Can bet on type of snake, how long until it's 100% irrevocably broken lol

[lady_bug87]

Nooooo let her have her fun!


Party pooper!

[trailblazer295]

It would taint the results if she knew who bet on what. Just because you're her favourite and are relying on her to help you win ;)

I'm your favorite too so moot point. 😀

[trailblazer295]

I don't know what you're talking about......stay focused on point.

[DDW]

Why must you tempt me and inspire me in this way! I found a beautiful red and orange stripe garg for $250 (I would try to get the price down and if not, find another cutie) on fauna classifieds and I wanted the probable female so much! I found a zilla 12x12x18 on amazon for ~$60 and can snag everything else so easily...

She is a bad influence lol RUNNNNN

[DDW]

She is a bad influence lol RUNNNNN

Lol

I don't think I'd sneak any in, I'd be very convincing on why the new animal will make very little difference, and I'd have a steady job before I consider more animals. That would be the main point on getting it. I can be very convincing when I want something...

[trailblazer295]

Then you must learn from the master Mink. Sit young grasshopper and master Mink will teach you the ways.

[Minkness]

LOL! Jeez, you make me sound like some reptile masiah of aquiring or something XD

[trailblazer295]

LOL! Jeez, you make me sound like some reptile masiah of aquiring or something XD

Well I'm not wrong lol

[EL Ziggy]

I agree, Mink is a bad influence. Encouraging us to feed the addiction is not helpful. :)

[Minkness]

I am not encouraging!...much....lol


I can't help it that Im a sneaky deal make with an awesome mom! Lol

[DDW]

http://cdn.meme.li/instances/300x300/63133984.jpg

Yessssss! Lol

[Minkness]

Well.....technically I didn't BUY them....they were given to me....but still...NO MORE!

[eminart]

Well.....technically I didn't BUY them....they were given to me....but still...NO MORE!

Since you're definitely not taking any more, the next time someone tries to force a cool free snake on you, let me know. I'll come get it. ;)

[DDW]

Me too XD (not very far from you are anyway XD) Give me your sources!

[Minkness]

Lol! Em, I'll deff let you know if I can get more free snakes.

DDW, same goes so long as your parents know lol

[trailblazer295]

You're both going to be waiting a long time because someone is going to collect them all lol

[DDW]

Lol! Em, I'll deff let you know if I can get more free snakes.

DDW, same goes so long as your parents know lol

XD I'm mostly joking, but I wouldn't mind knowing about the nearby ish breeders for future reference ":)

[wrecker45]

Hey Trailblazer where in Ont. are you

[Jrich]

Minkness, I went to the reptile expo today and saw a similar colored hognose like your female and she was for sale for $300+, anything that wasn't a normal was around that price you got a deal.
Anyways, don't feel bad. I wasn't even suppose to go to the reptile expo today and I did anyways and purchased a BCI. O.o

[Minkness]

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol! And yes. The lady I got these snakes from probably gave me close to 2k in snakes and all I paid was 140$ I'm so happy to have them to fuss over though lol. Just took everyone's weight tinight, and the ivory BP is up 15 grams in 2 weeks. Hope I'm not doing it tok fast....she just always ALWAYS sewms hungry!

[toddnbecka]

No one said they were here to help; this ain't reptiholics anonymous...
Sweet deal on a beautiful woma, but 9.5 hours drive each way (seller says no shipping) is a bit too much.
I'm not that far gone down the slippery slope... yet anyway, lol.

Well the name is flawed just like AA, the first thing about alcoholics anonymous is you stand up and say "I'm ____ and I"m an alcoholic". Not very anonymous.

[D Grade]

Nice additions, Mink!

[wrecker45]

85% of people who go to AA fall off the wagon. So it is just a matter of time before Minkness falls of the reptiholic wagon.

[DDW]

I just ran into your "new to the forum" thread... you can only have ONE snake huh? LOL just thought that was funny since I was looking for reputable breeders to order online (for the future of course)

where did you get your MBK anyway?

[Minkness]

Got my girl from BHB =)

And yeaaah....just one...LOL

[DDW]

I've seen some of their videos. Seem like good people. The two I've seen nothing but good from are bhb and reptiles by mack. Seems like it just depend who has better prices on what as far as I can see.

I'm thinking albino cali king next (or garg gecko...)(sticking with albino snakes so markings don't end in a snake being regected and I like albinos) the next one will be planned much better ":)

[drumcrush]

I got my garter from Brian at BHB, was not disapointed!

[DDW]

^.=.^ always nice to hear good things from people who have actually done business with somebody:) thanks
