Next time I'm in Yorkshire, can I drop in for a hug (the Python, Ian, not you!)?

 

[ianrobbo1]

course you can Artemis, I'm sure Eric would like to say hello as well, he's our corn snake, at his last shed, he measured 5ft 2ins, Andy seemed to get along with him!! we have a couple of Gekoe's and two Berber skinks, but they are just nuts!! :} chasing their dinner all over,!! :lick:
next time your up, your welcome!! :bow:

 

[derek kelly]

Hope you've got a roof on the vivarium Ian

 

[Artemis]

Always wanted to say hello to a python, up close and personal, but haven't had the chance to date. Said hello to a large lizard thingy in SA last year, enjoyed that one

 

[Bikerbaby]

looks very nice indeed i hope you know how to look after all this wierd and wonderfull animals. I wud love an owl but will never get one as i don't know how to look after 1 therefore it would be highly unfair to the poor creature.

[Cyclops]

Ian

the gekos Susans but about 20 yaers ago we had a riticulated (spelling) python called



yep you guessed it called Monty, had it for about 12 years.

Started out about a foot long and then grew to be round about 12 foot and about 3 stone in weight.


By then he was the boss and the fooker nearly strangled me more than once, sadly he caught some infection and I had to have him put to sleep.

 

[ianrobbo1]

gawd an bennet!!! talk about a feeder!! :bow: just tried Reg on a fluff!! talk about GONE!! heres a picture of all thats left of the fluff, and that was because I didnt let go quickly enough, he scoffed that and even now is "looking" for afters, as he was supposed to have been fed on friday, we were a bit surprised he took it at all, as they are known to be "fussy" if in a new inviroment or having travelled, I suspect we arnt going to have any trouble feeding Reg :bow:
BTW Chinky Minky lots of these snakes are captive bred and wouldnt survive in the wild, plus the "locals" kill them for no reason as they arnt harmful to humans or their pets, :dunno:

what the feck happened to owning a hamster or a feckin guinee pig or even a cat or a dog, no bad manners ian you know:k but anything with scales and no legs should'nt share your living room xtine disagree's by the way%$fan

 

[derek kelly]

he has a hamster that reg's next meal lol

 

[ianrobbo1]

as it appens Reg is in "T" kitchen, whilst the rest are in "T" living room, :dunno: Tina's just defrosting another "fluff" (she does the cooking in this house) and will post a picture of it before and after Reg has a go with it!!

 

[Bikerbaby]

so how did u come to be interested in all these animals

 

[ianrobbo1]

jeez!!! that was one hungry snake!! two fluffs in one night, and can he move!! I've also been feeding eric, but as he's about to "shed" he isnt as bothered, but took the ex breeder anyway!! :bow:

 

[Bikerbaby]

nice animal i hope u take care of him i hate to see these animal having to be rescued by the rspca etc as owners don't no how to care for them


it sickens me!!!!

 

[ianrobbo1]

we use the critters to teach responsibility to our kids, plus they give us a load of pleasure watching them, all the lizards and snakes we have are well cared for and Tina has been complemented on numerous occasions by "professionals" as to their condition!! :bow:
they are all handled regularly "exept Reg cos he has to get used to us"
I don't like dogs much, "or to put it another way" the jumpy up type that wont fuck off when you tell it!! or the fekin owners that just laugh and say OOH look he/she likes you!! cats do their own thing, and the rest of the choices are out due to feeding/exercising reasons, snakes and lizards are generally easy to keep, cheap to feed and can go a couple of days without food, (given you provide fresh water) so a weekend away is possible without the need for sitters/kennels, :dunno:
