...and Henry is now officially part of the family.

Went OK to be honest, my wife was a bit cheesed off but we're still friends-even sharing a Friday night beer.

That however definitely is the max until we move. Wouldn't get away with it a second time! At least though I can handle him etc without sneaking around etc so all is good. :)

Honesty is usually the best policy Danny. When I was waiting for my jungle to be born I was going to sneak a coastal in there without telling the better half. I decided to come clean and spill the beans just like you did. All I got was an eye roll and a piece of crumpled paper thrown at me. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I didn't have to use any sleight of hand :). Congrats again on the new addition!

Haha, so glad I'm not the only one who would sneak snakes in XD

Congrats. Good luck holding out to the move!

Does it count as being sharp if he just flat out told her? Lol

Yeah I flat out told her. Makes it much easier to provide proper care for the snake forty and foremost and I don't like sneaking around my wife.

But I really have pushed my luck and that's definitely it before we move. She knows I'm getting a couple more when we do move.

That said I guess I'm lucky. It's three more reptiles I currently own than I thought I would and in particular I never thought I'd have a boa and Henry is just such a bonus. Very very chilled little guy when I'm doing his water etc...

We've been married long enough that I think if murder was on the cards by either party it would have happened by now!

That said she actually took it far better than I thought she would but then the telling is all in the timing and I got that just right!

She does know about the gecko though so that's still on!

I've been with my girlfriend for 8 years and I'm still on thin ice every day with whether or not I'll live to see the next day hahh....

Glad she took it well tho, I just show my gf a baby version of what I want and she goes all gooey and broody over anything that's a baby! :D

Great news on the cave gecko, there's definitely one kept aside for you... Here's another pic just to keep you happy! :)

After reading the first thread about hiding the snake from your wife... Then I saw the new title, I knew it was you.

This was fun to read. Love to see pics of Henry!

As soon as he's settled I'll take some photos - promise. He's a proper sweetie so far though.

Glad i don't have to hide any animals from anyone, if they ask em how many and i tell them 8 or 9 or whatever number lower than 30+.. The current response is 'Oh i thought you had many more?"... haha :D

i need to too aswel ,lol
i got 3 small boas been in there for 3 months and a two year old motley that has been in there over a year she don,t know about

luckily she dare not go in there.she scared of them,dont think it helps when one of the corns got out 3 years ago and was found 8 months later 3 doors up,he had gone thru the winter at that, and two weeks ago one of the baby corns had escaped for a week and i hadn't told her and was crawling out her work bag .think it had been to work with her,that would of been a talking point at the dinner table,lol

the last of my adult corns will go this week so my 3 corns will be replaced by 3 boas (same amount) ish
still got ten baby corns to go like (nearly ready to go tho) so think she will be ok(i hope)
