Addiction

[iluvsmyreptiles]

It all started about 4 years ago when i purchased my first coastal carpet python. I vowed that she would be the only reptile that i would own.

I look around my house now and there's no space for me...there's 11 snakes, 9 lizards, 2 turtles and countless frogs.

This is such an addiction...i just can't stop!

Maybe i need help

You obviously do need help iluvs, and whats more I can help you! I will sell you one of my Childreni hatchies, (when they hatch), at mates rates OR, better still, lets help each other, what you got to swap
LOL, but I do agree with you, it's not a hobby, it's an addiction but what a wonderful addiction it is

Rofl... I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Then something too good to pass up comes along and .....well you know the story.

The term addition is not strong enough!
I've just finishing a rearing cage with 10 seperate compartments and I'm eying off a pair of bredli. I've had to give up receational drugs including alcohol just to feed the herp on my back.

flies are easy simon problem is you get too many too quickly so you need other people to take them off your hands

 

[wattso]

[FrOnToSa_FrEaK]

Im an addict

 

[stockeh]

not a prob simon the big secret with flies is heat (28-30deg c) and meat thats pretty much all you will need to get established, once they are starting to breed any food scraps will do the job just be sure not to throw it in on any larve (pre maggot) cause they cant dig their way out and will suffocate.

good luck
