Dont feel alone man, I still live with my parents and they wont let me have more than 2 snakes. I have to wait till I either graduate from college or move out to get more. If i move in with my girlfriend she says I can have 5 reptiles so that is a little better. Dont say it, I know I am whipped. cwm8.gif

8) Just get more snakes and dont tell anyone about them..

My first snakes were water snakes I smuggled into my bedroom.. My parents said "no snakes".. but me being the persistant and constant annoyance I'm capable of being... they gave in.

Dont get yourself in trouble, but if the people restricting your snake 'in put' dont pay much attention to your snakes, add one or two, and act like nothing happened.

I got my first retic by telling my dad it wouldnt get much over 5 feet... (i was a bad kid) ;D

Thankfully, my parents supported me in what I did, and soon I had free range of anything with scales.

8) ...and another thing, I need some more cages too.

Im going to start breeding rats to become a little more "self reliant" as far as feeding my boas goes. Anyone reading this, do you know where I can get one of those "rat racks" for cheap? Freedom breeders has some good ones, but for what they charge I could feed a boa for a year or two so they're a little out of the question.. I was thinking maybe a laboratory..

Shoot if your looking for a rack like that the easiest adn cheapest way to do it is to just biuld it yourself( sorry jeff..not trying to kill a sale for you *L*) Just figure it how much space you need for wahtever size container your going to use and just go to your local Building supply place and get yourself some 2x4's usually they can cut them for you...a lil plywood and a sheet of Tuf R insulation board...a few nails or screws and a rheostat...everything would probally run you about $50 bucks at the most...Im still covered in sawdust where i just got finished building a big arboreal box system (5 separate cages) and four larger ones underneath for the Boas...got room now to house 16 snakes now and very little space taken up and everything was jsut barey over 150 bucks...and these were all pretty spiffy as well...I just put myself together a sweater box rack and everything(including the heat tape) ran about $75 ...its pretty simple and really cost effective...ecsepcially on a tight budget...If you want to give it a try and need some help just let me know and Ill do what I can for ya...

Yeah being young has its disadvantages!! I just bought another Common Boa on Sunday while my parents are in Mexico and they're coming home tomorrow!! I hope they don't notice!!
If they do, they'll probably look something like this  :o or  cwm24.gif.
Then  >:(.

Since my b-days on Tuesday, I think I'll just say I bought me a birthday present  ;)
