Ive always loved your avatar Jeff and i always know its you when i see it. I would love to expand into snakes but my parents would really want me sitting on the couch with a snake around my neck. I think they are used to the "killing" factor of snakes and don't know that they are actually very placid. Oh well.

Cant wait to see the pics!

Thanks Dalton! How's that trip back to RI? You're going to need to change your location on the forum to Tennessee once you guys are permanently set up = )

David - Snakes are a pretty common phobia to a lot of people, and I'd wager living in Australia doesn't help with all of those venomous species running around. If you do ever get the chance to add one to your collection though, they are some of the best pets a person could ask for. I only keep pythons and boas, but they are absolutely beautiful animals and require very minimalistic care once you have the setup down. Definitely the lazy mans pet... feed once a week, poop about once a week... and the species I keep tolerate handling better than any herp I've kept before aside from my beardie ; )

Picture time! On to Wednesday!

I'm going to apologize in advance if these photos are too large - I'll gladly look into resizing later and a mod can remove them temporarily if that is the case. These are just coming straight from my photobucket album. This computer does not have any of my photos saved to it... so I'll try to get more photos up later too = /

My biggest regret in the hobby was letting this girl go, a beautiful pastave:


Miss Luna when she first arrived; she has gained about 350 grams since then:










My cat Missy...21yrs old and going strong! :3


My doggie Riley who recently passed, miss ya buddy:


A few Roaches! = D
Elliptorhina javanica


A. tesselata


Eublaberus posticus


B. craniifer nymphs...I unfortunately do not have photos of the breathtaking adults with jet black wings:



And finally, the temporary additions to the family...the kittens! Tell me...how could someone leave these little guys in a box in the middle of the road?!



I suppose I could sneak in a picture of me... I don't have anything super recent on here but this is a pic of me and my mom at my 21st B-day =P



I'm pretty sure if I post any more photos the thread will spontaneously combust

Wow, awesome pets Jeff! Surprisingly, i dont get much snakes in my house even though I've had kangaroos and a huge koala come strolling around that escaped from the zoo. Im kind of grateful because i have 2 dogs and don't want them to get hurt. Plus, i don't want to get hurt either.

Even though your cat is 21, she looks so young and healthy! Adorable kittens, i would love to have one of them. Those blue eyes are hard to resist!
Those are some huge roaches, im sure you would scare off a few people with those
