Well I fessed up...

...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.

Re: Well I fessed up...

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!

At least she didn't kill you! If I sneak anything into this house my girlfriend would kill me! ��

Re: Well I fessed up...

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

Re: Well I fessed up...

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!

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

Re: Well I fessed up...

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.
