Nice Ziggy! Can't wait to see more pics of them.

That olive python is gorgeous zig. How is your second half handling the growing collection?

@ Meso- I rehomed my 2 king snakes so technically the number of snakes hasn't grown. I've just made room for some larger snakes. Trust me I've made that clear with her so there may still be room for one more in a year or so. I'm not going to push it right now

I love the olive! I almost bought from that guy before I caved and got Cleo

The albino carpet is beautiful too!

Ziggy, you rehomed your kings?!?! =(

Can't say I haven't done the same before...sad to hear though.

Yeah I am working on clearing out some space for my newest acquisition. The hardest thing about this hobby, is knowing what species are the best fit for your interests. I am glad she is on board, does she understand how big it will get?

Mink- It was actually hard for me to rehome the kings because I always promise my critters I'll care for them for life. I know I gave them the best care I could while they were with me but the truth is there's only so much space available. I've come to realize that I prefer keeping medium and larger bodied snakes so I chose to part with the kings and move in another carpet and the olive. The kings went to another great keeper who I know will give them a good life so my conscious is clear

. I'll miss them but don't think they'll miss me

Meso- I told mama bear the truth. He'll probably end up somewhere between 8-12 ft. She didn't give me the business at all. She's come around a lot actually. She doesn't really like snakes but she's happy that I have a hobby that I enjoy so much. The funny thing is my 7 y/o son says, "He's cute, can he be my snake too dad?" So I share the Bredli and the Olive with him

Haha that is great, pets can be such a rewarding experience for children. I honestly attribute my life long love of all animals to having pets from pets my entire life.

I saw an advert on Preloved here in the UK and it read something like this..."Burmese python for sale, very tame, loves children, only eats one every 6 weeks........." I think it should have read "ONCE every 6 weeks"

Nice additions Ziggy! That albino is jaw dropping.

SnoopySnake · 01-04-17, 08:50 AM

An olive!? I'm a bit jealous! Awesome new additions Ziggy

**EL Ziggy** · 01-04-17, 09:31 AM

LOL @ Snoop. I was actually looking at pics of your WLP last night and thinking, "I should have gotten one of those." I can't keep em all though. I'm looking forward to the new critter and anxiously waiting for FedEx now.

The tough part is waiting for the delivery. Look forward to pics later.

Well FedEx was 10 minutes late but it was worth it. I think I'm going to like this guy. He was really mellow and weighed in at 141g. I think I'll call him Vlad. Big Cheese and Perfect Prey are out of some of the feeder sizes I need so I'll probably have to hit the pet store so I can feed this beast.
