Hi
OMG...I've put a bid on a snake viv, complete with all the gear. Don't suppose I'll get it but if I do the **** will most definately hit the fan! lol 
Oh well, worse things happen at sea.
I'm fed up with trying to talk him round, I'm just gonna go for it.
I fell in love with the baby snake I went to see and handled last week. I can't get him out of my mind....I must be desperate!!  I'm going to ring the guy tomorrow and see if he's still for sale. I'll be so disappointed if he's been sold 
They're breeding atm so more are due in a few weeks if he's gone.....
Think I will just get everything, then get my snake when the right one comes along. Oh I so loved the little one last week, hope he's still there, fingers crossed!
I hope the guy will hold onto him for me while I get all my gear, or even 'rent' me some til I get my own, so I can bring my baby home. I'm sure he will, they're so nice at this place.
I've decided I'm going to ask for funding towards a viv stack for mother's day, birthday, christmas etc. Then I can buy equipment and occupants as and when funds allow......dream on 
Must get to bed, have a very important phone call to make in the morning......... |

Good luck, let us know how it pans out.
Just remember that divorce means more empty rooms to fill with vivs.  |

I love your humour......
Divorce means I'd have lots of space to add to my reptile collection, especially after I've auctioned off hispoop(sorry, am I allowed to say that!!!) Assuming I get the house of course!!!! He can't throw a semi-disabled wife on the streets, can he?
I've got a terrarium set up and just making sure I've got temps/humididty correct then I'm going to get my Echo the crestie that I've always wanted too.....heaven only knows what he'll do when Echo and my snake (name to be decided) are settled in and I tell him I'm thinking about tree frogs next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| That's what I did to my hubby too. And he ended up actually liking her once he got passed the shock of seeing a little "shoe lace" in our house and in my hands. Although he did ask me, "What would you have done if I told you to get rid of it?" [quote][i]Originally posted by herriotfan |

Why am I not at all surprised by this??!! I knew that going in to that shop would be too much temptation for you!!!
Seriously though, I am sure your OH wont be too surprised. He must have realised how much you want this by now (we definitely know how much you want this ), and I do hope he will accept it without too much of a backlash.
I also hope that you do get the baby you handled, but you are realistic and know that if he is as lovable as you say he is then it is very likely he will be sold already. But you also know that you will find another one that will be just as lovely and give just as good hand massages!
Am sure you will keep us informed....and it is great knowing the amount of work you have put into making sure that when you get your snake it will be a very lucky snake having you as its owner.
(has any of this made sense?? I feel seriously brain dead this morning  !!!)

Hey you guys......they've still got him and he's on hold for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME
If I don't get the viv that I've put a bid on then they do have some cheap 'good enough for now' vivs where the little snake is now. I'd still need to get fixtures and fittings etc but that's not a problem.
I need pinching because to me this is a dream....can't quite take it in.
I so hope hubby isn't going to burst my bubble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Take Rich's advice....you will be no good at manipulating your OH if you are running round like a headless chicken with excitement !!
That is such great news about the shop having the snake you wanted and putting it on hold for you . I do hope you get the viv you bid for, but at least you have a contingencie plan for if that doesnt come through.
Have you not mentioned it to your OH yet? I have no idea how you are keeping it all hidden (I guess you are letting your excitement spill out here so you can appear all calm and controlled at home ). Surely he must have some clue something is going on?....But then he is a man, so I reassess my question!!

Kellog, my hubby knew nothing until he went to hug me while I was sitting down and there was this little head came poking out from under my hand. I wish I'd have had a camera. We have two office chairs close and I was sitting in my chair working on the computer with Snickers on my lap. My hubby fell back into his chair with saucer eyes and his chin in his lap...stuttering something like, "I didn't know you liked snakes".It was so comical to me, but I'm sure it wasn't for him.[quote]Originally posted by Kellog

My mate nick spent a year sending me pics of his snake, and I fell in love with snakes. Unfortunately his landlady came to do a house inspection and is petrified of snakes. She saw his beautiful snow and apparently flipped, and ordered him to get rid of it. He was really upset, but persuaded me that I did have the funds, then gave me his viv. I think he's lhaving snakes vicariously through me!! hehehe
My other half is so laid back he's 'horizontal', so he saw the viv, raised an eyebrow and said, "Make sure it doesn't escape."
He was a little hesitant at first about holding her, but really, shoelaces are SO cute, and he loves her to bits.
Pets choose owners sometimes, and if you've found one like that, then it will become family no matter the drama to begin with!! :D:D:D
Good luck!! |

Good luck with your hubby!
Luckily, my bf loves snakes..! He actually got me to love them! He had a ball python and after we (me and the ball python) introduced, I got crazy about it! Then he took me to a reptile pet shop and i couldn't resist.. I got Spaghettino..! :) |

Thanks Mouse. Yes pets do choose owners....our parrot decided she was mine. The people where we got her said she'd never gone to anyone else that she didn't know, no matter how much they tried or what they did. When I went she flew off her perch straight onto my shoulder and stayed there until they took her off! I have to say she's at her happiest when she's with me. If I'd let her she would stay with me all day.
I think I must have a Dr Dolittle gene 'cos all my pets want to be with me, or very close by, all the time. Even the foster ones seem to gather round me too. It makes me happy too, it's an honour if any creature loves you and their love is true, they don't care if you're pretty, ugly, fat, thin, any colour etc, etc.
I'm sure, that given time, our newest addition will get round the rest of the family, no pun intended!!
