Ooooh wow!!! More photos needed!!
I hate hate HATE spiders but so long as it cant get anywhere near me, i have a bit of a fascination with them, i want photos!! Just so we can all say 'oooh and ARRRGHHHHH' at them!!
I have NEVER had any interest in ever keeping any venemous species of snake (says she with a volitans lionfish and previously owned two motoro stingrays!) as i just dont see the point in the risks. Just for myself personally, i have particularly slow reactions and a habit of not getting on with snakes.
At collage if i walked past the cornsnake viv, all three would strike at me, no one else... just me... i couldnt handle them or be near them, they just hated me much to everyones amusement.
Not as bad as later on when i chose my first snake, i deliberately got a hatchling leucistic texas ratsnake on the basis that it would bite me no matter what and they werent kidding, spent more time hanging off my hand then it did in its viv! Not to mention the one time it ended up hanging off my face
Then i ended up with a 2ft carpet python who HATED me, everyone else she was fine with but me... struck every time i went near and had a particularly good aim for my face! Shame as i wasnt nervouse as her bites were pathetic and i did love her loads and she amused me but confident or not, that snake hated me! She was a seriously problem feeder, after a year she had only eaten once, maybe twice and so i rehomed her, was eating fine after a couple of weeks aparently! She hated anything that looked or smelt like me, she was very clever, she even knew it was me from a good distance wearing friends clothers (she was fine being handled by said friend!).
I adore my two baby royals, i have had them since they were 6 days old, they are now a few months old and growing like weeds! Both are normals but the female has a lot of bright yellow and a good dorsal stripe, the male is much bigger and chunkier though. I think they are both Het for pastel, they both have the grey top half of their eye that is meant to be a sign of pastel genetics. Plus i recon i saw a few pastels in the batch too. There were over 1000 to choose from so mine are special as i looked at them all lol!
I miss my leopard geckos hugely, i will get more one day when i have space for them, i had a beautiful breeding pair with a Super Hypo Tangerine male (he also had a bald head no markings and a dorsal stripe) and a gorgeous Mack Snow female (i forget what they were het for). Unfortunately i was forced to sell them along with all my snakes and rodents when i moved in with a guy with a fear of reptiles (who has since fallen in love with them! he even named Justin my male royal)
Bah... miss reptiles so so much, dont supose you have gecko photos for me to drool over?
