that is weird they keep coming on and off food like that, but if they are breeding it sort of makes sense and they should be fine. mine are all doing well, everyone ate except the male honduran cause he is in breeding mode and one of the dumerils cause she was in shed. so far the male hognose is doing ok he ate the other day but i am still way worried about him now. everyday when i see the tub she lived in i get all bummed and mad. the hondurans have been breeding so i am hoping to have some of those this year we will see. and i have to buy a new bike tire since i found a nail in mine the yesterday and i am pissed and stressin bout it cause i ride alot and go threw alot of tires so i buy top of the line tires that are $400 each cause the cheaper ones wear out in less than 4 months, the good ones last me 2 years and this one is only half used and now i have no extra money and need a new one nothing is going right for me the last couple weeks. even my male egyptian uro has been all sketchy and tail wips me alot in the last few days LOL i don't know what is going on.

yea i am still way bummed about the hognise i thought they were one of the coolest snakes i have she seemed to be doing so well to. i talked to brians wife from bhb and she said everything i had for them sounded perfect and she had no idea what happened. they are all out of baby hognose right now but said they have more that should be hatching later this month and will be ready in august and they can give me a deal but im still pissed thats alot of monety so i am not sure what i will do. if i get another i will in september at the anaheim reptile show i plan on going to and bhb will be their, i am still hoping brian emails me back though i sent them another one wanting to talk to him and find out what he says and what kind of deal he will give me before i decide what to do. no i work today its lame but i will be off at 4 and have the next few days off so hopefully it will be fun. happy 4th hope you can bbq and hang out with family ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea she has alot of friends, i think she invited like 100 people between friends and family and about half were able to show up alot of them couldn't get off work since we work at a casino that never closes and their was a tournament here but alot of them are still giving us gifts so we have a ton of stuff. thats not good i hope they eat soon. all mine ate except the hognose but the corn threw up and for some reason the female hog died yesterday. she hadn't eaten in 2 weeks due to her going into shed and she shed and still didn't eat then just died so i am way bummed :( i emailed bhb but they haven't answered yet.

yea that sucks but i am sure the next one will do much better once you get it i would go with a breeder you know better to just to be safe. yea herpin was alot of fun then i had the last weekend off as well for my neices bday party she turned 4 and the baby shower and getting crib and stuff put together its been busy. i got the name from someone here on rc they asked why i had no name and i couldn't think of any and asked them so she gave me a list of ideas and i chose one i liked LOL. they are all doing good and eating well (except the rosys haven't been eating since they breed) but the rest are doing good the hogs shed and are growing fast and the little hodurans are still shedding every 2 to 3 weeks, i have the first clutch of baby dragons sold i have 6 left of 28 then the other 2 are almost ready to go their eating like crazy i am going threw 2500 crickets a week right now but its alot of fun. how are all your doing? eating well?

what a headach i hate strep, have you been on antibiotics? i think they are messing with you cause 1 or the other keeps not eating. LOL but he rattled his tail but yea i think they are funny at that size they act all tough when they get mad and bite but they cant actually cause any harm. yea i am hoping for lots of babies this year i miss seeing baby snakes. the baby uros hatch out around the size of a small baby bearded dragon just with a smaller head and little round body with a spikey tail. i was told both pairs i have are big enough to breed so i am hoping they will this next year i will season them to get them to breed. the week has been good. everyone ate really good and i cleaned cages on wednesday on sunday i am off work so me and some friends are going to arizona to go snake hunting for 2 days it will be fun to go get some pics of some animals i haven't seen before. i took my dog to the dog park and she cut her pads on her feet pretty good while running with other dogs so felt bad :( but she had a ton of fun Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

sorry about the strep that sucks i hate when i get strep more than any other sickness cause even trying to get a drink hurts, i hope you feel better soon. LOL sorry he bit you weren't you just saying the otherday you wanted him to rattle his tail? i guess that didn't work as well as you wanted it to. yea my corns get pretty sketchy when in shed to especially when little. yea the week was rough but i am happy with my new truck so it worked out ok, my animals are doing great everyone ate and my hondurans are breeding and the roseys are fat i think the female is prego and i have been trying to get baby beirdies sold so i can make room for more that should be hatching soon. i have been emailing some uromastyx forums and breeders and mine are big enough to breed so i am looking forward to trying to breed them this next year. that female hognose has been eating a ton but the male has only ate that one week so its been a week and a half since he ate so hopefully soon he will. so its been busy here LOL Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea they grow fast but sometimes not fast enough LOL i like when they are full size then seeing the difference between the babies and adults. i have no idea why but i have always liked the size difference and seeing them side by side. im not sure why he doesn't want to breed thats crazy, do you cool them and cut back food in the winter? i know mine cut back eating as it cools then as soon as it heats back up usually start breeding right away. yea i would hate if he lost more toes he did loose one but he is still fat and healthy but i had to pull him out cause she was getting too aggressive but he seems ok with the new tank i just need a bigger heat light its not staying warm enough for him he is at the minimum temps right now i like to keep it at the max and he can move where he wants. no real plans for me, i had my nephews bday party yesterday and today some friends are drivin to arizona to look for snakes so i may go do that but thats about it i think. here some votes ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea i am not sure what it could be it is scary but i really hope it is something simple. LOL yea i know corns you can almost see them grow after every meal its crazy but its cool how you can see them growing :) yea she eats alot we will see how well and fast she grows. with the uros i read they get aggressive with others but i read it wasn't till they were sexually mature but they shouldn't be big enough for that, females are supposed to be the more aggressive unless they have tons of space LOL crazy chicks :) i am just glad i saved a big vision for just this reason so he is all in his own home :) i just hope they grow more now i cant wait for them to be full size it will be cool here is some votes have a great weekend any plans for the 3 day weekend?

yea if they are not loosing weight that is good, i know they can go awhile before they loose weight but by then its tough to get it back on them and takes awhile. i am sure they are fine and will bounce back to bein little pigs when their ready :) LOL yea i remember you telling me about forgotten mice on the fridge a couple times and mice are expensive so they all count. LOL yea its been nuts and i hope it warms up soon its making it hard to go out snake hunting in the evenings but i have gone a couple times i just cant ever go when i want. thats good the heater still worked i would hate for them to get too cold whith the power out that happened to me once years ago, i had only 2 corns and my 1 red tail and it was snowing in the town i lived in and the power was out for 3 days with no heater and no heat pads or anything but our stove was gas so i randomly turned on the oven to heat the top of the stove and i ould leave them their to try and keep em as warm as i could but it was a hastle i couldn't imagine now. here some votes have a great sunday ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea i do the same thing i am a horrible speller LOL i can write a letter and use a word a few times and spell it different every time cause it never looks right to me but oh well i don't care :). that is weird he didn't eat again yea maybe its breeding but it seems late in the year isn't it? it depends on temp i guess and different climats cause different times for breeding. i have read a few pepople already having eggs i havn't got nothing yet so who knows, i am sure he will eat when ready. mine hadn't eaten in a couple weeks again to and my male honduran so yesterday i threw a couple live mice in and they ate i think they just wanted a change spoiled little guys lol. yea the hognose showed up they are so awesome and very tame and friendly so far. i am poisting their pics today i am so happy with them and their so different than anything else i have :) the male is the redder lighter colored one hows the rest of the week been? here votes for all ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

its ok things happen and stuff pops up no need to appologise (LOL i spelled that way wrong but for some reason the propper letters don't come to mind) yea i do the same thing but i am sure he is fine. i know he is well taken care of so he is prob just taking a break, they get alot more food in captivity than they naturally would. i think thye all have their own personalities to, all animals do. their was actually just yesterday on the snakebytes community site talking about how he thought it was odd how people give emotion traits to their animals cause he felt they didn't have emotions. i think they all do in their own way, not quite the same as with humans but in their own way they do and they all have different motivations for their emotions. reptiles seems to usually be food orientated but they have their own lol. yea i am so excited to get them, i got an email from brian from bhb today saying he was verifying the order and shipping tomorrow so i will get them tuesday before 10:30 :) i cant wait i already have their tub all set up in my rack system. for mothers day i am working LOL but i am off at 4pm then i am going to my moms to give her a card and say hi and stuff. i got her tickets to go see heart at the end of the month LOL they are playing at one of the local indian casinos and i figured it would be fun they had some pretty good songs and they are from when she was in high school or her early 20s late teens. any plans with you? happy mothers day ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea most boas are big time eaters i remember my redtails always ate and were always hungry but my dumerils were a pain when i first got them it was difficult to get them eating but they do good now. yea that is odd he didn't eat but mine do that to from time to time they just wont eat for 2 or 3 weeks then they eat again and are fine so who knows they all have their own little personalities :) i usually dont mind a week or 2 of not eating but not when its more than that then i worry. like my corns they are getting so skinny im not sure whats wrong but they are not doing verry well at all. i ordered my hogs though today from bhb i am so excited they should be coming on tuesday :) they only have a few 09 babies left and the rest wont be till later in 2010 after the hatching season starts but its ok they will breed next year and i can see the little ones i like how short and stubby the babies are. i am ready for it to be tuesday now LOL. have a great friday ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea i hate that to, theirs a guy out here in san diego that is like that he just wants to make money and doesn't care for the animals, probreeders.com he sold a friend of mine a snake as a female ready to breed and when he got it it was a male and wouldn't breed we found out over time that it was a retired breeder he was just trying to make money off of. its lame people are like that. thats awesome their is still no mites :) i sure hope you got them all. i am sure with daily cleaning that you should be rid of them quickly and get back to enjoying your baby corn. yea the dumerils are eating good like 3 to 4 mice a week on a regular basis since my corns are not eating at all. but the boas are definatly turning into fat little sausages :) yea the boas i got from a friend he thought it was a pair but it ended up being 2 males but they are way cool. i finally get my bonus tomorrow to so i am ordering my hogs :) i cant wait lol. we went out snake hunting last sunday i need to post the pics we seen some of the coolest thing and a friend that showed me the spot still says it was a slow night that n good nights you can find like 20 30 snakes. but we seen a huge scorpion and a ton of frogs and toads plus a few desert geckos and 3 shovelnose snakes and 2 glossy snakes, a sidewinder, longnose snake, and 2 speckled rattlesnakes it was so fun i love that camera more and more everytime i use it LOL it took amazing pics even in the pitch black of night i will get them posted this week. i also had a whole clutch of about 38 baby beardies hatch :) its so cool seeing them again after having none last year, my girlfriend and her daughter had never seen them like that before and they are so into it, i am getting their food today. hows everything been with you and your animals?

yea thats one thing i never do is sell anyone a sick animal. i dont sell alot thought or make a living that way LOL i just do it for fun and i like seeing the whole proces and if i can get back some of the money i have to spend on them even better LOL but don't care to make a ton off it. if i could i would, but make sure their healthy so people keep coming back to buy more later. yea i would call but i get mean with people that do that sort of stuff LOL. but i am sure he will be fine as long as he has water and keeps eating :) LOL i don't think i could work without a vacation, i used to never take them for any reason but as i am getting older i think i take like two vacations a year about a week each at times i wish i could more LOL theirs just so much i want to go do. sorry about your alergies,that sucks the same thing happens to me to its horrible and i feel it for a day or 2 after cleaning everything. but its worth it i like the new clean cages they look so nice and smell good plus its cool to look in the aspen and see the fresh trails the snakes leave while exploring the fresh home. i posted a bunch or new pics i took yesterday with my new camera that thing is awesome i have never been able to take good reptile pics till now i think they look better in the pics than in person now LOL. i put a couple pics up of my new rosey boas i got from a friend to on my baby hindurans page i couldn't make them their own page though. the camera pics are too big a file to use as a main profile pic i will have to adjust them maybe this week i can get to that. have a great day ttyl votes for all Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

that sucks about the mites, it sounds about right to he had to come with eggs cause they take like 28 days to hatch i believe. hopefully you get rid of them fast. i would think with as much as you handle them the eggs prob just hatched and you would of caught them before they could lay more eggs. glad they all ate thats good. yea vacation was rough, nothing worked out right. my friends bike broke down so we spend the whole week trying to find him something to ride and get his bike fixed plus get home on time, he ended up buying a new bike and the dealer promised a ton of stuff they didn't follow threw with so now they have to pay our local shop to do all the stuff they were supposed to do before we left. his old bike is still in vegas broken cause the shop didn't fix what i told them was wrong so they now have to fix it again. so i didnt get one day of rest. plus my bonus never came they are saying next week now so i had to limit spending on vacation and i cant get the hogs till that bonus comes in. also while i was gone my uros heat light went out and they didnt eat while gone since they were too cold, one of my corns regurged and it sat their for days and was gross when i got home, my corns still havnt eatedn in 3 weeks now and they are refusing food. my dog got sprayed by a skunk while gone so she smelled when i got home and had flees i was soo irritated. but we got a bunch of cool stuff for the baby like a diaper bag i will cary and some cool little clothes so that was good. it was a pain and nothing went right but it was still nice to not be at work i just don't feel anymore rested than i did before i left LOL still glad to be home and settled back in. 5am sucked today LOL i didn't miss it at all and its weird how nothing has changed after being gone 10 days its like i never left LOL oh well glad to be back to my animals though. here some votes for all ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

today is the last 5am day at work then vacation and i can sleep in to 10 days LOL i hate mornings, i thought i could get used to it but i have worked here for a little over 8 years and am still not used to it LOL i am starting to think it wont happen. yea i am excited about the hognose i cant wait to hold them, all the snakes i have ever had have been smooth scaled so the hognose will be cool cause the scales are keeled. the ones i am getting are normal looking but their going to be het albino, i like the orange red tint to the albinos but cant afford them so i will just make my own LOL the only thing i am not sure of it that its early in the year and i think the ones i am going to be getting may be from last years hatchlings so they may be a year old already but i am not sertain it woul dbe cool if they are already that big and that established cause i read hognose like frogs and it can be some work to switch them to mice but at a year old i am sure they are eating mice but i like the babies to LOL their short and fat it funny looking (i would say cute but thats not a word a guy should use LOL). i know i am constantly cleaning cages and never smell anything unless one has just pooped or regurgitated a meal or when i put all fresh bedding in but i like the smell of the bedding it just smells clean. LOL i hate when they go in the water bowl but they do all the time its so nasty to cause that means they were in the water when they went i always try to give them a bath after that happens cause it just seems gross but i think its more comfortable for them to go in water i guess. yea rocky is special but not in a bad way i don't think he is just different and if its only an equalibrium think its just balance so the rest is good. i would worry to after not knowing then seein stuff about ibd thats so horrible the 2 big things i have worried about is ibd and ri and ibd seems to be getting more and more common. i think its alot to do with under educated people getting reptiles from under educated pet shops causeing sicknesses to spread and causing lots of animals to die for no reason. i got home yesterday and checked every single one for like 3 hours LOL to make sure they were ok. i have seen stuff like that before to with the rats killing a snake its sad and still shocks me you would think if the snake wasn't hungry but the rat attacked it the snake would kill it and leave it but they sit their and take it its nuts, i love reptiles but they really arent that smart at times LOL. i actually started feeding all mine prekilled prey after one of my red tails took a nasty bite to the lip like 7 years ago, i felt so bad. i got a new camera yesterday and tried it out on the snakes and the pics it takes are amazing i think the pics look better than some of the snakes do in person LOL i will be posting some new pics as soon as i get the camera all figured out prob by time i am back from vacation. have a good sunday, its feeding day right? hope thay all eat well i Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

yea its alot going on, i am way excited bout the hognose to i actually get the check on friday but i am out of town till sunday but i already emailed bhb and have their phone number to call them friday morning so they can ship on monday and i get them as soon as i can after i get home LOL the cages are already set up and ready to go to LOL. i can understand that i don't think i could be with anyone that wasn't at least willing to deal with the reptiles, like i was dating one chick a few years ago that hated them and said they smelled and were gross i told her to get used to them cause they were here before her and will be here after her LOL so needless to say it didn't work out :) but it was for the better. and it pissed me off her saying they smelled cause everyone tells me they couldn't tell i have as many as i do without seeing them cause theirs no odor i keep them so clean, and i have had twice carpet cleaners in the house say most houses that have snakes that they clean have 1 or 2 snakes and they can smell it as soon as they walk in the door but they say they cant even smell mine so she was stupid i feel LOL (still a little bitter i guess i get defensive bout my animals but i feel they are a part of my family). i think rocky will be ok though if its just an equalibrium thing cause other than that he seems healthy and is growing awesomly. i have been reading about all the sicknesses and watching youtube videos bout them and i am such a hypocondriac i keep reading and watching the videos and keep getting worried bout my snakes thinking they have it and i read one that said it may be passed threw mites but not 100% sure now i am freaked and dont want to be at work i want to go home and check them all again. its so sad though seeing the videos i feel bad for them with it it looks horrible and from reading sounds like it is getting more and more common so now i am worried about buying new animals. other than that just a normal saturday for me, ttyl here some votes for all have a great day Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

i always study the sheds to everytime to make sure eye caps and tail tips came of ok and its fun to look at the sheddings and try to match it up to the snake LOL i am a dork about it and think its cool to see the patterns in the sheddings. yea they are getting thei they are around 3ft and about as thick as 3 fingersand they seem healthy and eat good the only thing is they eat alot and don't use the bathroom but every 2 to 3 weeks but when they go they go and its a big smelly mess, all 3 of them do it so it looks to be normal. wow thats a great deal on crickets i get mine from a breeder right at the bottom of the hill from the casino i work at (american cricket ranch) but the short is like west coast wide theirs some virus or something he was telling me about that is killing them off they cant get them to live past 2 weeks even with bleaching out all his cricket tubs and tossing out all crickets and ordering good stock from the east coast. so the price is going up a bit but before that i used to pay like $10 for a 1000 and he always gave me deals to cause he is into motorcycle and we would sit and talk alot when i would pick up then i would get discounts or freebies when i had babbies hatch or goin on vacation and stuff he is a cool guy he just recently started doing beardies to at a friend of his house and i guess he has a couple hundred dragons i would love to go see that many in one place LOL. oh that sucks your little dart frog didn't make it. they are difficult to care for my girlfriend got one for her daughter and it was so hard to keep it cooled off during the summer and the fruit flies always died faster than they were supposed to it was a pain and he didnt make it long enough either it sucked they are so pretty with the colors and how different they all are. oh and speaking of holding animals the other day you said something about an hour each a day, you hold them all that long everyday each? they are spoiled LOL i wish i could do that i used to when i had 3 or 4 now theirs no time i usually mess with them all at least once a day and hold them all on days off when i have time or am not feeding that day. people always called me weird for rubbing them on my face but they are smooth and soft its cool LOL well enjoy the rest of your weekend here is votes for everyone ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

wow thats a good sigh he is going into shed so quick he must be healthy. yea rocky is growing quick i wish i could get my dumerils to grow that fast LOL but they are going so slow even with eating 4 to 6 mice a week each. yes i am a little worried about the delivery room i have never been in one before but i have seen a video once and i am not sure i am ready for all that in person LOL. my one bp that didnt eat was in shed too but its good that the rest of yours ate. yea it is a little shocking how much beardies can eat with their little bodies. but they are fun to watch eat so its worth it LOL i am actually ordering and picking up more bugs today :) but i am busy at work so i got to go ttyl Come visit me, hoggie, brutus, bonnie, uro, shy, leos, sissors, ajo, hondo, feild, ball & big red.

hey he finally got a page LOL he looks good. nice new pick of rocky to he is getting so big. yea getting to feel him kick was awesome i was starting to think i wasnt going to get to feel him. i get impatient though LOL the time is going by pretty quick but it also seems like its taking forever. so i still havn't seen any mites still so i went ahead and put regular bedding back in the cages and the snakes seem happy with it their cages look so much better and it seems to help with the smell to. with newspaper you can smell everytime they use the bathroom but not theirs only the nice smell of fresh bedding :)they all ate good to except 1 ball thats in shed and for some reason none of the corns ate idk its odd i think they may be sick from when i had them all housed together. they are still a little under weight but we will see i give them tons of food whenever they want. my little hondurans eat a ton they are shedding every 2 weeks still but they dont look like they have grown at all to me. we will see i guess. my lizards are doing awesome they are loving the warm weather and eating so much. the dragons are laying eggs like every 2 to 3 weeks she is so fat and she still has them even taking the male out. i think i am going threw 100 crickets and 1000 super worms like every 2 weeks plus a 3lb thing of greens a week. its fun though i like seeing them eat alot and get all big and healthy. hows the week been? i have just been busy with baby stuff all week getting ready for him to be here plus vacation organising.
