Hey All,

My first post here! I'm kinda new to the hobby, but have grown my collection from one Dumeril's Boa to 7 snakes in less than a year. And there are SO MANY more I want... If it weren't for my wife who doesn't want a house full of snakes... Right now I really love working with my Bredli pair. They're growing so fast, and they're getting more and more colorful with each shed... As for what I'd like to work with in the near future, I think GTPs and Angolan Pythons are at the top of the list, but can't really afford either at the moment.

Hopefully I'll be able to view pics now that I've put up my first post...?

Re: New here

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome!

I love taking pictures of these guys... I invested a few bucks in a good lens a couple years ago, it really makes all the difference!

Re: New here

Hello and welcome! Sweet pics. I really love your bredlis and cresties. Carpet pythons are IMO the coolest snakes there are. If it wasn't for the cost and my wife, my collection would be twice it's size.

I know that feeling, sometimes there's more snakes than I can count in this house.

When you get to the point that UPS is delivering frozen mice by the hundreds every month it's time to join "reptiles anonymous"

LOL - I'm just about at the point where I need to get a separate little freezer just for frodents... I should be getting a Black Milk (Lampropeltis triangulum gaigeae) next week and he might just push me over the top in terms of cost for feedings. Then the shipping cost of buying frodents will be worth it.

Anyone have any recommendations? I always assumed I'd go with RodentPro...
