I know with all the good kids expecting Santa to show up on Christmas Eve, he's pretty pushed for time. It's a well known fact that he visits herpers well before Christmas, sometimes even early December. Has anyone had him visit already?


** Raising my hand here!!! **

I got my presents today :D
I went out of town today to trade some leopards geckos for an amel fat-tail!!!! Finally got one to go with the amel hets! And of course, I can't visit a town without checking out the reptile stores, just to look around. Well, there just so happened to be some critters at the store and I swear they had my name written all over them....
Santa was kind enough to twist my arm until I agreed to go home with a juvie gargoyle gecko, most likely female to be name "Emma Lee" if she stays female, and a baby hognose snake "Theodore".

So, has anyone else already gotten their Christmas Herps and Things?

Sounds like a fun day! X-mass might come early for me if the two balls a buddy of mine is sexing for me turn out to be females.
Cheers,

Well, DH was going to get me a pair of het albino balls but seems all the breeders in the states willing to ship to Canada are sold out, at $700 - $800 a pair I figured they would move fast but not 2 days fast! Oh, well. :( No one in Canada has any that I'm aware of either.

LOL I have a feeling there won't be any herps for this years presents! Every year Mike gets super impatient though, and makes me open my presents earlier and earlier. He didn't even make it to December this year... lol... so he said he would buy me another present for xmas. So far I got a Nintendo Gamecube w/ save card and Luigi's Mansion. LOL... he's been trying to advance past Super Nintendo for a looooong time, so I think he just got fed up. I know he was planning on buying it for me last year as well (so it wasn't a total suprise), but he got me a DVD player instead.

I've joined the "Been a few times" club now :) I stumbled on an unrelated female hognose snake.... so Dear Santa again twisted my arm. I pick her up on Wednesday. :D
Two little piggies now, how many more before the addiction is under control?

Love the Chihuahuas, they're small dogs but big on personality.

Santa came early to us as well. My daughter recived the cutest Sulcata Tortoise, My son a Skleton Trantula named skully, and a pacman frog that unfortunatly passed away last night, so I promised him that when he is ready we will go pick out a lil buddy for him. We also as an early X-mas gift to the kids and I recived a Spotted Python and A lovely Childrens Python.
