Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Went out today to find a bedframe for my daughter - couldn't find anything but was near our reptile shop so thought i would pop in and say hello.
Ended up leaving there having purchased - 2 arboreal vivs in a stack, 1 4ft viv, plus heating/decor etc etc for all three. PLUS 1 Frilled dragon, 1 JCP yearling and 1 GTP yearling!! All with free delivery and setup in my home! Can't wait for it all to arrive now!
Never take your credit card out if you are near a reptile shop!!!

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Wow nice work. You truely are one of us an addict you need help haha. I look forward to seeing some pics. Have fun with the gtp, they can be fussy buggers with eating and drinking just make sure your temps and humidity are right and they are normally fine from there.

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Oooh, you got a GTP! COngratulations and welcome to the world of arboreals. GTPs are fun snakes, and generally a lot calmer than their reputation would have you believe.

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Rob, maybe you're having the same midlife crisis as me? In February I got my first snake. Yesterday I got my 11th.
Although, to be fair, my wife (who said violently NO to snakes for the first 5 years we were together) currently owns 3 of "my" snakes and 1 of "my" lizards. On the bright side, I've converted her, unfortunately that means instead of her standing behind me going "You have enough snakes" she's standing behind me going "Oh, isn't he beautiful? And he's on sale!".
ps. I do indeed mean "violently" and not "vehemently". My wife is a hitter!

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Oh yes, "The More Complete Chondro" is an absolute must for chondro owners. I have it and have read it cover to cover several times. It's got soo much information on them. Just make sure you keep it well hydrated, as their thin skin dries out very quickly. And don't overfeed it, even if it begs...and it will. Chondros are shameless piggies and beggers in my experience...lol.

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Carpets are wonderful, they have that mystic quality enjoyed by cats to make you infatuated with them, even as you stand there bleeding.

Re: Ooops - Naughty Rob!!
Ordered the book last night - thanks for the recommendation.
The lil one is as bad as me and the missus - i told her we didnt have a bed and the lip started quivering so i said "but we have more snakes coming" and she smiled again immediately and siad - "i can sleep on the mattress on teh floor - its like having a sleepover"!!!
Bless her - guess i should buy her a bed at some point...........
