Hey guys

Hope everyone had a great xmas and new year anyone get anything special for xmas ?
Sorry ive not been around xmas kinda went outta the window a bit some of you already know but my nan lost her battle with cancer 2 days before xmas we were told at xmas 2010 she had days or weeks to live so she fought till the bitter end bless her i spent her last days by her side so sleep food etc all went out the window and xmas was kinda put on the backburner
on a more positive note all the snakes now seem to be eating normally again Eddie and Artemis went through a bit of a fussy patch Artemis is now eating large mice quite happily Eddies reluctant to make the move up to smalls but im working on it just using the smallest small mice i can lol.
Ive converted 2 more snake fearing friends lol though there was an unfortunate incident with one lmao after the initial joy of overcoming his fear holding Artemis my friend suddenly found a very large puddle of poop covering his jeans haha poor guy its the first time Artemis has ever pooped outside her viv however it was a few days after her first large mouse so i guess she was probably a bit backed up ...still not been pooped on or tagged ...YET!

My wishlist for 2012 has changed slightly i do still want a/some royals but i think kings have moved to the top of the list also a carpet python would be awesome and id love a milksnake if i could find one locally lol

Sorry to hear about your Nan. Hope you're ok. On a happier note, it's good to convert wary people. Shame about the pooping!! I've wanted a royal for ages but still haven't managed to free up any space for a viv. Maybe one day...........

So sorry to hear about your Nan, Paulie, I'm thinking of you . She's resting in peace now with no more pain but must have been a very strong lady indeed to have carried on fighting for so long. God bless her. You never know, she may have been looking down and having a chuckle to herself at your friend's unfortunate predicament!

Wishing you and your family a happy 2012; keep smiling

Bless you Paulie, so sorry about your poor Nan.

Good to hear your snakes are coming back on track. Hope Eddie finally goes up to larger prey

Having just aquired a King myself, I shall recommend them highly as a really cool snake to keep.

Perhaps once you have made more room, you could name your next snakey addition after your Nan as a tribute?
