eeeeee! I want it to be payday already!!
Got most of the bits for the snakey-to-be in my life, that 101 guide is a cracking shopping list.. his faurnarium, heat mat and hides are all ready i've got the thermostat and 2 thermometers and a nice fake plant thing on the way... but i'm skint now and will have to wait til payday to get him!
Going visit me mum and she has a friend of a friend who breed them, so we're going to go check them out.. if we find the snake for us it'll be amazing but we'll take our time ;)
Gonna keep him in bedroom, we don't have a tv in there or anything that will upset him, when he is bigger and hopefully less frightened n stuff we'll move him in a quiet bit of the livingroom i reckon, but not for some time :)
just spend all my time with my nose in the books or on here looking at everyone else's pix hehe really excited!!! XD |

Glad to hear you're doing your shopping and research first 
I hope you find a snake that suits you, the corns really are the most amazing little snakes (take THAT boa fans!  ) |

Awww, all the best - my first were an impulse buy really (after over 50 years waiting and a few weeks' thinking) but still I had the sense to do the set up over the weekend first ... couldn't believe it, my own snakes!!
I adore all my pets, but still, snakes ... |

That's really good that you've done, and are still doing, lots of research. It can only be good for your snake.
Like BATS I waited over 50 years for my first snake but it didn't take too long before I got my second!!!!!
I'm sure you'll soon find the right one.  |

hehe my other half looks at me when i talk about this snake like he knows.... that just one snake in the house wont be enough lol
my thermometers came...woohoo... i now have everything except food, a spare box for feeding in, and need find a polystyrene tile to pop underneath the faurnarium...might set it up but then it'll drive me mad not having a snakey in there! my boyfriend has offered to put a pipecleaner in there with goggly eyes to keep me happy XD |

AWWWW! How can you WAIT???
Yeah, I know what you mean about names - I chose ones that could apply to boys or girls apart from Saffron and Shahi - knew what gender they were when they came.
You don't want a girl called Fred or a boy named Sue! |

haha knowing me i probably will, i remember when i was about 12 i was given a hamster called Rosie... one day Rosie had a skin problem and was going bald so we took her the vets. The vet said she was a very well hung boy lol!!!!!
I am literally counting down the days, gonna put the set up together properly this weekend. I got a starter kit from Charlton Reptiles a week or so ago, (could have got it cheaper separetely online thinking about it... but i was excited and they were so nice there i felt like they deserved a sale lol). It has the hard wood chip type substrate in, which might be abit harsh for a baby to burrow in, so gonna bag that up for when he's older and have got some nice softer aspen to put in. Got a couple of little hollowed out half a log style hides but want make a coconut one just for the fun of it... allt his will just make more even more ridiculously excited and when i eventually do get one i'll prob end up bringing a million of them home!!! |
