Well i was in my favourite pet shop in the world for some supplies today. VERY nearly came home with a Brazillian Rainbow Boa! It was on a hatchie rack with lots of others. Mostly corns and kings, and it stuck out a mile!
I was just getting a closer look when i realised the shelf above was full of tarantulas! retreat quickly!

Unfortunately to prevent myself snapping up the BRB (bargain might i add!) I spent waaaay too much €€€ on complete and utter rubbish, and enough mice/crickets/locusts to last a year!

Sounds like a total disaster if you ask me. Not coming home with a BRB that stuck out a mile. Maybe next time.

Lol. I also had a BRB dilemma a few weeks ago. I too had to resist stick on the reptile replacement patch for a few days to beat the craving.

So the answer to not bringing another snake home is for the reptile shops to put them with the spiders......very clever thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol love it.

I wont go in any reptile shops as the temptation would be too much.

Luckily my local pet shop over prices their snakes so I'm never really that tempted. :)
