My honey would never understand! She is stunning, I'm in love! But there is just no way what with her being a snake, let alone the price! crying

thats amazing but £2500 no chance. such a shame the albinos are so much i think they look amazing but i think ill have to go for a corn snake. i like the pure white albino ones rather than the ones that have the pink spots on them.

i might try to make the hole stand tank and lid of them because i can really find any good ones on ebay. so might ask if while im doing my 50 days work experiance if i can make them because he shuld be able to get the wood and glass or perxpex for cheaper and he has al the tools and space to make it.

When making a hood you have to be really careful in your designs. Snakes can fit through tiny gaps but also must have a good amount of ventallation to stop any respiratory infections!

They have no trouble swallowing them Kizno. This is my boy Peanut when he was a baby having his pinky.

What is a pinky? Looks odd. I thought you were talking of a small mouse! Surprised

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 21:52

wow thats bigger than his head. hes a nice colour looks a nicer red than most of the pics ive seen. my mums still saying no though i dont know how else i can get her to let me get one? if not ill go for the sand geckos, leopard geckos or fire bellied newts.

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 21:53

a pinky is a new born baby mouse

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 21:58

Well you can't use the cute and cuddly tact, maybe tell her that it is a larger responsibility, and you want to practice being a responsible person, so when you are older and out of the house, you will have a clearer understanding of what taking taking care of responsibilities entails, also, it will keep you out of trouble? flower

Thanks, I tought it was a mouse, but had never seen a newborn before. Awesome pics Netty! thumbup

my mum would just say well you can start ny cleaning the house and making your bed then and i dont really fancy doing that lol. you can by them for 40p hear frozen. my mum said im not allowed to put them in the freezer either but i have one of them mini fridges would that work just for the mice?

they all look amazing netty i really like the albino but there all really nice.

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:13

Netty, your so lucky! I'm very envious of all the wonderful animals you have in your life! alien

(Green with envy!)

by **Netty** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:15

You could just buy the pinkie and feed on the day you get it. Then you wouldn't need to put in the freezer.

Oh and I agree as a Mum I would make you clean up and make your bed too. Would prove to me how much you wanted one lol!

Thanks Sheena....it is a bit of a zoo here but love looking after them all

Very Happy

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:17

yh but my mum dont drive and the lfs i can get them from is about a 20min drive so i would need to get a load and then go back once there done. my mate has a small corn and he just buys about 20 at a time for £8 and freezes them so they last for about 5 months

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:18

I have to agree with Netty, the nicer you are to mum and the more you do things that should be done without being asked, the more likely it will be that she will let you have one or be more willing to think about it at least. Very Happy

by **Netty** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:19

Could you not get one off him when you need one? or is he too far away from you.

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:22

yh but then i have to keep doing all that stuff untill i can get one and tbh i cant really be bothered lol. hes just up the road so i proberly could but its his bro and his bro might sell it. would one of them mini fridges not work?

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:22

Maybe you can buy them and he can store them for a few pounds?(is that right? L8 8 pounds?)

by **Netty** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:25

It would probably keep the pinky fresh for a max of 2 days but no longer than that.

Yep Sheena it's pounds Very Happy

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:29

Thanks Netty! Very Happy

Maybe if you asked your mom if the 'food' was wrapped up tight in brown paper after freezer wrap and only in a small section of the freezer would it be ok?

by **kizno1** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:35

2 days that could be a problem then i really can get there once + a week to get them for it. theres no chance my mum would let me put them in the frezzer shes only just agreed to frozen bloodworm and there in 2 bags in a tub.

by **Netty** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:43

I suppose the alternative would be some sort of geckos then but would she be ok with mealworms, crickets or locusts?

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 19 Mar 2010 - 22:45

Wish I could help, could you fit them in the tub with the worms? You mom has reasons that she thinks are health issues and that, in all I know, means unless you can get some really good people like netty and van to personalyy defend and show actual proof, and unless it can be promised that your little bro won't get bitten,(Almost impossible, he'll want to squeal and put his hand in right away, 5 yr olds don't quite understand slow) you should look into the gecko theme.
