So many new pets!

[MarshallsMom]

Well, it's been an exciting week for me.
I finally paid for my four new salamanders, which should be arriving soon. Two A. maculatum (Spotted) and two A. laterale (Blue Spotted), all about 3 inches.
In addition to that, I ran into a lady at my local petshop who was giving away her 3 corn snakes an leopard gecko, along with her 20 long, 50 gallon tank, 150 gallon tank, heat lamps, bedding, hides, etc. For free. Needless to say, they are all coming home with me next weekend. I will be sure to post pictures!

[Jace]

Wow, talk about score!! That is really neat-and I can't wait to see some pictures!

[Ebony]

Wow!! very cool. Sounds like you are going to be very busy . I will look out for the photo's. Congratulations

Jo-Anna:
I know! I think I'm going to move the snake out of the 150 and into something a little smaller, and use the 150 for Axolotls. That's so much free equipment!
Ebony:
I'm about to be! I've never had snakes before, but I'm very excited. The lady said one is snow white, which would be awesome.

Just watch out or you'll end up on one of the pet hording shows.

lol

I'm already planning on it.

[Jace]

How big are the snakes, do you know? Some corns can get up to 5 1/2 feet long! Hopefully they have been well handled so they won't be skittish with you. The Axolotls will be in heaven if you set them up in that tank!! Ooh, can't wait to see pictures-so exciting!

[MarshallsMom]

I think the corns are full grown, and they have been handled since birth, basically. I'm so excited, I get to pick them up on friday.

They can't film you if you don't let them in the house!!!

[MarshallsMom]

That's right! Kurt gets it.
I'm getting really excited. T-minus 2 days!

[Ken Worthington]

Hi Hanna! I've just come across this thread....and WOW...I'm SO HAPPY for you

Not long now...........

[MarshallsMom]

Thanks Ken! And no, not too long! I'll put up pictures later tonight.

[Jace]

Okay, the suspence is killing me here!! Have they arrived yet??!!??

[MarshallsMom]

Yes!
I picked up all four critters and dropped two of the snakes off at my school, where they will live during the school year. I took the gecko and the last snake home, and they are doing great!
I only have pictures of my house snake, but I'll get some of the others on Monday.



My buddy!

[Jace]

Wow-what a beauty! Congrats!

[MarshallsMom]

Thanks Jo-Anna! He is really cool. I'm so excited!

[Jace]

How big is he and what's his name? And where's the gecko? C'mon-we want details!!

[MarshallsMom]

He's pprobably about four feet, I can't measure him right now because he's hiding in my armpit.
He doesn't have a name yet! He needs something cool and sophisticated.
The gecko is currently in my hallway and will move to the school on Monday. His tail got broken off awhile back, so we're calling him Stumpy.

[Jace]

Well, he must like your deoderant then!! Lol. You're right-a cool sophisticated name...how about Frost? Whatever you come up with, I am sure it will be perfect for him.

Geez, poor Stumpy is being sent to school right away?? Wonder if he can eat his own homework...?

Again, congratulations on all the new additions and I hope to see lots and lots and lots of pics...and names...and all the non armpit details!!

[lnaminneci]

Congratulations on the new additions! You are getting a housefull quickly!

Beautiful Albino snake! I was trying to think of some cool, sophisticated names.
Here's a few:

• Myst
• Nyoka - means "snake" in African
• Harada - White serpent god
• Zeus
• Caesar
• Mithras - Roman god of light
• Flare
• Fabio
