Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

[anji1971]

Then maybe you ought to replace the Coke with more milk?;)

[enigma200316]

I had more dairy and veggies in there yesterday, don't know what happened to it. :D

Seriously, I drink at least a litre of milk a day. :)

I use to drink that much milk, but not any more..............;)

[Stefan-A]

Then maybe you ought to replace the Coke with more milk?;)
Too many calories. :D

[adamanteus]

The only thing I drink in any quantity is grape juice.:rolleyes:

[enigma200316]

I'm an apple juice person or apple cider whichever maybe both, they mix well with certain things if ya get me...........;);):D

[anji1971]

Too many calories. :D

Are you drinking sugar-free Coke? You know the crap they use to sweeten that is far worse than extra calories, and it's bad for your liver and kidneys too..........
Oh-Oh. I'm starting to sound like a mom. Shutting up now.:rolleyes:

[anji1971]

The only thing I drink in any quantity is grape juice.:rolleyes:

I like my tea. Several litres a day, with lots of milk. And the occasional glass of white Zinfandel to shake things up a bit!;)

[adamanteus]

I like my grape juice deep red and about 14%

[anji1971]

I like my grape juice deep red and about 14%

Mine's pale pink and only about 11%.......... still good though, still good.

[Stefan-A]

Are you drinking sugar-free Coke? You know the crap they use to sweeten that is far worse than extra calories, and it's bad for your liver and kidneys too..........
Oh-Oh. I'm starting to sound like a mom. Shutting up now.:rolleyes:
I'm already fat enough and I'm not a huge fan of diabetes. Besides, you have two kidneys and you can always get a new liver. :D

[adamanteus]

Stefan, aren't you glad that you showed us the contents of your fridge!?:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

Stefan, aren't you glad that you showed us the contents of your fridge!?:rolleyes:
Actually, this is exactly what I expected. :) I don't have my snakes with me and I was bored out of my mind. :D

Why do you think I posted a picture of my Death Fridge™ in the first place? :D

[enigma200316]

hahahaha................to funny guys to funny:D

[anji1971]

Actually, this is exactly what I expected. :) I don't have my snakes with me and I was bored out of my mind. :D

So what are you going to show us next time you're bored???:D

[enigma200316]

So what are you going to show us next time you're bored???:D


watch out it might be his other snake collection........:rolleyes:;);):D

[Stefan-A]

watch out it might be his other snake collection........:rolleyes:;);):D
Oh, you mean my collection of ball pythons and bush vipers?

[Stefan-A]

So what are you going to show us next time you're bored???:D
Who knows. Maybe my dead animal photo collection. ;)

[adamanteus]

The worrying thing is, I know you're not joking!:eek:

[Stefan-A]

The worrying thing is, I know you're not joking!:eek:
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. You never know.

Hell, I don't even know yet. If I find it funny enough it, I might do it even if I was joking when I said it.

[Stefan-A]

Now I've taken five different Myers-Briggs personality tests, with four different results. Apparently, I'm a mix of INFJ, INTJ (x2), INTP and ISTP. :rolleyes: Personally, I think INTJ is closest to the truth.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs)

[Snake lover 3-25]

but that's everyhting except Extraversion and Feeling!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Stefan-A]

At least that part's consistent. :D

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol maybe you should work on that LOL:D

[adamanteus]

So where's the link to the test, Stefan?

[Stefan-A]

lol maybe you should work on that LOL:D
I don't think so. :D

James, there are three links in wikipedia and one application on Facebook. Don't remember where I found the fifth.

[Snake lover 3-25]

you really took 5???? why????? aren't they all just about the same????

[adamanteus]

I don't think so. :D

James, there are three links in wikipedia and one application on Facebook. Don't remember where I found the fifth.

I have to go looking for a link? I won't bother then.... I guess I'd come out L.A.Z.Y.

[Stefan-A]

you really took 5???? why????? aren't they all just about the same????
Because I like taking personality tests. :D I also like taking IQ tests.

They are about the same, but the questions are differently formulated in each test.



I have to go looking for a link? I won't bother then.... I guess I'd come out L.A.Z.Y.
At the bottom of the page.. :)

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol that teminds me.... do any of you have a place where you can just put your snakes and they won't leave it???? meadow just happily goes up and down through the 3 floors... she goes out the windows and ect.... but she NEVER gets off.....

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/IMG_3910.jpg
i go up and check on her once in a while... but she's always there in one room or another.... LOL maybe she's just to L.A.Z.Y. to move!!!!LOL:D;)

[adamanteus]

I just took a test.... apparently I should be a clergyman or a book keeper!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

So, which type would that be? :D

[adamanteus]

It didn't tell me a 'type', just a load of waffle.... theology or mathematics? Poles apart!! I think it's nonsense, the questions were silly too.

[adamanteus]

I took another... I'm an ESFP... this time I should be an entertainer!

[Snake lover 3-25]

wow you have everything that stefan doesn't!!!! you COMPLETE him!!!!!!! LOLOLOL:D:D:D:D:D:D

[adamanteus]

Took another one! ENFJ this time! Who am I?:eek:

"ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes."

Do what?

[anji1971]

I just took one.............ISFP. Now I have to take a few more just for comparison.
Yay!! This is fun!:D

[adamanteus]

I have taken a few now (it is fun!). When you pool all my results together I think I'm either LLAMA or YOGHURT.:D

[anji1971]

I'm still ISFP. Guess I'm stuck with that.
LLAMA could be fun............surprised you didn't end up HUMMOUS.

[adamanteus]

I think (after doing various tests) I'm quite definitely an ENFJ.... I'm going to go and read about me now!:D

[anji1971]

The last test had a slight variation -- now I'm INFP. I guess I can change after all!:D

[adamanteus]

Apparently I should be a cheerleader! Well, I was looking for a new career path, now I know what to go for!:confused:

"They are natural cheerleaders."

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol nice.... construction to cheerleader!!!

[anji1971]

Apparently I should be a cheerleader! Well, I was looking for a new career path, now I know what to go for!:confused:

"They are natural cheerleaders."

And of course, we'll need pictures of you with your little skirt and pompoms!:D

[Zephyr]

And of course, we'll need pictures of you with your little skirt and pompoms!:DDon't be irrational Anji! :eek:

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

lol wheres the test i cant find it

[drache]

I'm an imp
good night

[enigma200316]

I took Justin's test and I'm a TFLTC.....:rolleyes::D:D
to (F) lazy to care, type.........;)hahahha

[drache]

I hope you can get this
it's a bit long, so I didn't want to just paste in the entire thing
it's not really a personality test, but I really like it
it's called "what tree did you fall from"

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dmzmr79_11cqv9k8pb&hl=en
(http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dmzmr79_11cqv9k8pb)

[Stefan-A]

Can't get at it, Rhea.

Is it the same as this?
What Tree Did You Fall From (http://www.anvari.org/fun/Truth/What_Tree_Did_You_Fall_From.html)



ROWAN TREE (Sensitivity) - full of charm, cheerful, gifted without egoism, likes to draw attention, loves life, motion, unrest, and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic, passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive.

[drache]

Can't get at it, Rhea.

Is it the same as this?
What Tree Did You Fall From (http://www.anvari.org/fun/Truth/What_Tree_Did_You_Fall_From.html)

yes - thanks
mine looks different, but it's the same thing

and I'm a walnut tree - it's true
I've got some good qualities of questionable usefulness, but for the most part I am difficult and unpleasant

[adamanteus]

I'm a Hornbeam...

HORNBEAM TREE (Good Taste) - of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, is not egoistic, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads a reasonable and disciplined life, looks for kindness and acknowledgment in an emotional partner, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with its feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious.

Mmmmm.... Not really me.

[drache]

now I had to go back and look at some of them
Mikhaila is very much a Rowan
Jeff's not much of a Weeping Willow
I'm a bit sad that some of what I think of as my better qualities went completely unmentioned

[adamanteus]

Anyway.... Do you like my new camera?:D:D

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//539/medium/radixhead.jpg

[Stefan-A]

Anyway.... Do you like my new camera?:D:D

Yes. :rolleyes:

[count dewclaw]

The camera seems fine...but I really like that snake. Hmm, after Pugets I may have to consider Plains...

[enigma200316]

very nice pic, and snake James, I'd say the camera is ok.....:rolleyes:;):D

[drache]

I like it
and the snake too

[ssssnakeluvr]

I got the hornbeam tree also....doesn't really fit me either!

[count dewclaw]

I looked at the results for all six of the people in my family...didn't really fit any of us! We must have fallen off of different trees.

[Stefan-A]

YouTube - Spiders On Drugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc)

[count dewclaw]

My husband had showed that video to me....but I forgot how it turned out!:eek: Too funny.

[Zephyr]

LOL
"Capped a shell in it's @$$."

[Snake lover 3-25]

where do you find there things???? who would type spiders on drugs into that site????

[Stefan-A]

where do you find there things???? who would type spiders on drugs into that site????
First off, I found the link on another reptile forum. Second, you don't have to search for it to find it. When you watch a video, YouTube suggests videos from the same user as well as "related videos". You could be watching a National Geographic video about spiders and find this video among the related ones, just because they have that one thing in common.

[Snake lover 3-25]

oooo okay... makes sense.... LOL:D

[adamanteus]

Right, two weeks since I was made redundant. I've sent out 22 job applications but had no responses. Anybody need a bald guy for anything?

[Stefan-A]

If I had enough money to pay you a salary, I'd think something up.

[adamanteus]

Well, I say no responses but there is the chance of a few months work in France.... renovations and development of a holiday complex.. they need a foreman/manager. I don't know about working away from home though.... I get lonely when I blink! And I'd be away from you guys.... who'd look after you?
Come on... talk me out of this one!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

Come on... talk me out of this one!:rolleyes:
Okay. Don't do it. :D

[adamanteus]

That's a very convincing argument, Stefan. Already I'm having doubts!

[Stefan-A]

How about this one: If you do it, I'll kill you in your sleep. ;)

Too much?

[adamanteus]

No. That's fine!

[Stefan-A]

I don't know, I think I may have gone too far with that one.

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol don't leave us... or someone'll make the new server catch fire!!!!! that convincing????? :D

[adamanteus]

I find out next weekend (17th/18th) what money & package they're offering.... and let's be honest, that's what it's all about.

[Stefan-A]

Of course.

[enigma200316]

sry James if the money's right than I think its worth it, after all I'm sure there is a place u could use the internet.............;):D

[Stefan-A]

Exactly, it's France, not North Korea. :D

[Snake lover 3-25]

yaeh... i kind of agree.... and it is a job... but won't leaving your family for a few months be hard????

[Stefan-A]

And who'll take care of your snakes?

[enigma200316]

well yeah...duh,but living on the streets with his family would be harder.......................;)

[Snake lover 3-25]

oh... man!!!! i wouldn't be able to do it!!! but you can always find a way to bring them ALL with you can't you????!!!!!!

[adamanteus]

Well, the whole thing is still open for debate, until they tell me about the money.... and of course, decide if they want me! I don't know..... as I say, I don't know about working away from home... it's not really me.
We'll see.

[adamanteus]

Maybe I'm just panicking a bit because I haven't found a job yet... two weeks isn't so long.... I still have some more salary to come in.... it's not like we're starving yet!

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol... yeah...... 2 weeks is really not a long time!!!! some people look for years!!!!

[adamanteus]

Right guys, I'm off to bed. XXX

[Snake lover 3-25]

night james.... shouldn't that be zzzzz????? LOL:D

BTW does anyone have a name for my baby boy yet???? i hate telling people that he's unnamed...... and naming them is just SO hard......:D
http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/IMG_3914.jpg

[Stefan-A]

Right guys, I'm off to bed. XXX
Same here. Night.

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol night to you too!!!:D

[adamanteus]

It really is quiet tonight... just me and a steady procession of would be spammers!:(

Where are you all?

[Stefan-A]

Well, I'm in front of my computer watching movies. :D Currently watching Aliens vs. Predator 2.

[adamanteus]

I haven't seen that one. I watched the first one..... thought it was a bit silly.
Without Sigourny Weaver it couldn't hold my interest!:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

The first AvP movie was really really REALLY bad, but the second one is surprisingly not quite as bad.

[adamanteus]

Really? Then I will watch it next time the opportunity arises.

[Stefan-A]

All bets are definitely off in the movie, real exploitation style stuff. :)

[adamanteus]

The one I've seen, the first AvP, was about as scary as......
something that isn't really very scary at all, for a person who doesn't scare easily, on a very 'brave' day, with the lights on and lots of tough mates round.. and a big gun.

[Stefan-A]

Well, it was rated PG-13, this one is rated R. :) Not really scary, but pretty "actiony". ;)

[adamanteus]

I will watch it, next time it comes around. Will I need a cushion to hide behind?

[Stefan-A]

No, but you might want to wear a diaper.

Not really. It's not scary, just moderately entertaining.

[adamanteus]

No, but you might want to wear a diaper.

Not really.

For all you know, I might wear one anyway!:D

[Lori P]

I'm sitting here shaking after an encounter with our evil neighbor... I hate, hate that I let that nasty so and so affect me like this, but I am so bad at confrontations and especially with people who are just mean to be mean... I've got a pounding headache and can't stop shaking. I'm such a wimp!!!

I need a hug!!!!! :(:(:(

[drache]

((((HUG))))
what happened?

[adamanteus]

Lori, you have my hug.:D:D
Unfortunately you can't choose your neighbours... look at it this way... your neighbour has to go home and life with his/herself... you can walk away. You should pity them!

[adamanteus]

We have a very bad neighbour (not next door, thankfully). He is often drunk, regularly batters his wife and his language is foul and loud. When we see his wife all bruised and cut-up he makes stupid excuses like... she had an epileptic fit or she hurt herself in the garden.
Last year his language was so bad and loud, during the day while we were all outside, I had to go round and 'talk' to him. He's been quieter for a few months, but he's warming up again now. Quite soon I'm going to break his stupid face.

OK everyone....group hug for Lori. All of us love you;).

[Lori P]

Well... ever since we moved here (about 10 years ago) we've had non stop problems with this person. She lives across the field from us, so keep in mind, she's quite a ways away. But she hates animals. (See where this is going?) And, her brother sold us this property without telling his family he was selling the land outside of the family... so I believe that's where it started. No matter what, she was set against us buying this land.

She constantly complains about the animals-- just the fact that we have them. She started years ago by going to the sheriff and complaining that I let my dogs out on MY property-- they MIGHT run onto her property and bite her. I let my chickens loose in MY yard-- they might come onto her property. She tried to take us to court when I started breeding milk goats. She did take us to court twice, and lost, because on occasion the horses got out or the goats got out. She called the sheriff out when there were buzzards circling the woods behind us and actually walked him onto OUR property, to "prove" we had dead animals lying in the woods-- of course we did not-- and since we didn't have no tresspassing signs up, she got away with bringing him onto our land. Every time she gets the chance, she stops us and yells at us about something... the fences aren't good enough, the emu or the turkeys are following her around the field when she walks (even tho they are on the inside of our fence), one of the dogs barked at her and scared her, there are too many deer and we need to let hunters onto our land, the horses smell, the donkeys bray too much... you get the idea.

It's not just the compaining-- it's the viciousness in her voice. She is so-- cold, and mean, and just-- a very negative, hurtful, nasty person. It's like you can feel the meanness dripping off of her.

Today it was the fences-- the horses have been leaning on them and they are going to break thru and get on her land and she is not going to be responsible for when her son shoots them.

I know I shouldn't let her get to me. But every encounter with her leaves me feeling like she poured some toxic energy all over me.

Thanks for letting me rant... normally I'd come home and burrow into hubby, but he's out tonite.

[adamanteus]

Yeah, I love you Lori. ((((HUG))))

[Zephyr]

((Hug.)) Well, what'chya gonna do? There are mean people in this world... She'll get her just desserts. Probably be in the bathroom one night and see a massive house centipede crawling down the wall at her. XD
Who's to blame now?! :P

[Lori P]

Awww, you guys, thanks so much. :o James, I can't believe you have that going on beside you. You need to get some of your friends together and teach that man a serious lesson, late one night when he can't see your faces.

I just can't fathom why some people chose to live with so much anger and hatred in them. I know I should pity her, and in a way I do... and, after all, she is quite old. I should outlive her, afterall... :D

[adamanteus]

As I say, Lori. She has to go home and live with that venom. To quote a song lyric....
"God makes her pay, be sure she has to go through life that way.
You just be yourself, and carry on....."

[Lori P]

((Hug.)) Well, what'chya gonna do? There are mean people in this world... She'll get her just desserts. Probably be in the bathroom one night and see a massive house centipede crawling down the wall at her. XD
Who's to blame now?! :P

LOL... Kyle, could you send me some of those??!!

[Zephyr]

I should outlive her, afterall... :DHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I fell off my seat when I read that! XD

[Lori P]

That's a very good quote, James. Very fitting.

When we all get together for our world meeting, I'm going to hug all of you to bits. (Yeah, I guess that could be taken as a threat...LOL!!)

[adamanteus]

I think this World Meeting will be quite long.... already I have three and a half days of hugs to deliver.:D

[drache]

just be careful, Lori
they sound like they're eager to use that spare ammo . . .

[anji1971]

Here's a slightly belated hug Lori! :)
Been out of the house since this morning, finally getting a few minutes to sit on my butt.

It is so hard to deal with angry, bitter, mean people in life. If you aren't like that yourself you just cannot fathom why they do the things they do.
All you can do is hold your head up and walk away, thanking the powers that be that you are a nicer person.
As my best friend says:
"Don't stoop to that level. Let the person with the manners and class show it."
And hope that another less classy, less mannerly person comes along and thumps them one!:D

[count dewclaw]

((HUG)) for Lori! Sorry she's making life difficult for you.

[Stefan-A]

she is quite old. I should outlive her, afterall... :D
:D Next time you have an argument with her, try to find an opportunity to tell her that.

I know I don't react well to being yelled at. Never have, hopefully never will.

[Lulu Bennett]

Lori, i know i am a bit late but i am sending you big big hugs.
ignore her sweety, you are better than that! or if worst comes to worst then play the biatc* at her own game and tell the sheriff she keeps verbally abusing you and threatening you.

[Lulu Bennett]

James, my old word was nehebkau but this time can you please put it as:
- Wadjet - She was an Egyptian serpent guardian sent by Osiris to protect Pharoah and control the Nile. The cobra goddess was the patroness of Lower Egypt. Wadjet was part of the Osirian myths and was always viewed as a protector of Egypt, depicted as a woman with a cobra head or as a cobra about to strike at the nation's enemies.
heehehe i like this one better

[adamanteus]

No sooner said than done, Lulu.
Text me when I can come get those babies..... I'm keen to get started!:D

[Lulu Bennett]

at about two you can come round to mine. i will show you the rest and see what you think hehehe i am just gutted that it is just these two that won't eat.

[adamanteus]

2pm it is...... text your address, or call me.
See you later.:)

[Snake lover 3-25]

ooooo that sucks...... ((HUGS)):D

last night i fell asleep at 4pm and woke up at 6:30 went out to dinner and went back to bed at 9:00pm then i woke up at 10:30am LOL i didn't even know i was tired!!!!:D

[drache]

this so sucks
I'm going through a hormonally challenging time and nobody is available to help me with something I've agonized over myself for months now and asked several people politely for advice
I'm already feeling weepy all this time and now I'm feeling like people just don't want to deal with me and I'm bursting into full-fledged sobbing over the memory of someone being kind to me last August
I was warned that this would happen

[Lori P]

Oh dear Rhea! It's unreal how much hormones rule our thoughts and emotions. If we can help you, Rhea, you know we will!!!

[anji1971]

Rhea, hormones can totally wreak havoc on a woman. I've always had one issue or another with them. In fact I've taken to just calling them "horror-mones"!
And I really haven't found much over the years that really helps a lot.
Hope some solution comes along soon, to help you feel better.

[drache]

I used to volunteer at a parental crises hot-line and someone there had tacked a t-shirt on the bathroom door that read "I'm fresh out of estrogen and I've got a gun"
scary, huh?

[jeanette]

Rhea only advice i can give for hormones is chocolate :S
when i was pregnant with my first son my hormones were always going crazy and i used to cry at commercials. it didnt get better when i was pregnant with any of my kids, four sons later and i have decided if my husband wants another baby hes going to get sterilised with a house brick and a hammer. i think every woman has hormone issues at sometime or another mine just happened to be during pregnancy dont feel bad. it happens to all women thats why we have men...........so we can take it out on them

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol i'm with you!!!

BTW.... i lied i like the pooh and the barney songs!!!!
(they remind me of when i was little!!!) :D LOL

ooooo oooo and madlin too!!!!!:D

[CrazyHedgehog]

Chocolate is the thing!!

and its really healthy....as its 3 main ingredients are:
cocoa bean - thats a vegetable,
sugar, from the cane or sugar beet, again another vegetable
and milk! well we all need a bit of calcium!:D

[Snake lover 3-25]

oh my gosh there are SOOOOOO many that i know!!!!!
i <3 magic school bus!!!!

oh and wait power rangers!!! who didn't watch these shows as a child/ with their children???? LOL this site is FUN!!!:D LOL

[drache]

I've never been much into chocolate, but funny you should mention it . . .
I just discovered that the ethnic market three blocks down has belgian hazelnut truffles
and I did eat most of a box pretty much by myself (Mikhaila didn't like them and Jeff got home too late)
I could get into this chocolate thing

and have you ever seen the movie "Junior" where Arnold is pregnant?
it's really cute when he cries at the baby food commercials

I've been stashing some extra cash away here and there, and today I'm taking my daughter to the mall for a shopping day. I'm planning on buying only things that are not practical or on my list of needs. This is for FUN!! :D
And we'll be sure to indulge in loads of chocolate ice-cream while we're there, as well!

haha anji sounds like a plan, can i come?

[drache]

I would just love to do a little retail therapy at the next reptile expo - if only someone would lend me a pick-up truck

[Snake lover 3-25]

ME TOOOOOOO i think i might like shopping at reptile stores more than people stores......... but then again.........:D

[anji1971]

Well, I stayed far away from reptile stores. My stash of cash wasn't large enough to equip that kind of therapy!!:D
However, I did come home with loads of cheap flip-flops for summer, sunglasses, jewellery, a bunch of adorable but otherwise useless garden figurines, and yet another bird-feeder. Still looking for that perfect summer purse..........I go through that crisis every year. :rolleyes:

[reptileparadise]

wow...I finnaly get it!
<3 is supposed to be a heart!...ahhhh....

[adamanteus]

Oh, right....
I thought it meant 'is smaller than 3' :D

[reptileparadise]

...And I thought I was bad with 'code language' hahahaha
Wel...it should mean smaller than 3, but then again, I'm not a 'numbers fan'

Athough...The TV show "numbers" is quite funny...

[gregmonsta]

That's it .... be prepared ... must start a gregmonsta only posting spree ;P

[reptileparadise]

Go ahead greg! But I bet you can never keep up with Stefan or James!

[gregmonsta]

[adamanteus]

... hard to catch up with the forum dinosaurs :rolleyes:

So, if you were a dinosaur, which one would you be?:D
I'd probably be Diplodocus.:rolleyes:

[reptileparadise]

Lol...lets move this to the "its oh so quiet topic " shall we :)

[reptileparadise]

alright then...the Diplodocus...
Diplodocus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplodocus)

[gregmonsta]

:D As there was no Gregasaurus I'd have to go with Gorgosaurus :cool:

[gregmonsta]

Hehe .... Gorgosaurus

[Stefan-A]

Always been a fan of Allosaurus. :D

Allosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allosaurus)

[reptileparadise]

I would go for something like this...

Argentinosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentinasaurus)

[drache]

since this is still considered a dinosaur . . .
Archaeopteryx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopterix)

at this point, what I really want is more space, more enclosures . . .
and then . . .

[jeanette]

What do you want next?
What's your ultimate ambition (Garter Snake-wise?)
Dont think i have an ultimate ambition where garter snakes are concerned, just think i would like to continue to enjoy all my reptiles and amphibians.
might need to build an extension on the house eventually though we are getting crowded.

[Stefan-A]

He might beat me in posts, but until I see any real statistics, I'm going to consider myself #1 in that category. :D

[adamanteus]

I wouldn't dispute that, but correct me if I'm wrong.... have you been on the forum a lot less this past week?
I hope you're not being unfaithful to us! Or worse, getting a more interesting life than mine!

[Stefan-A]

True. Field courses at a zoological station are keeping me busy for another week. We've been taking water samples, benthos samples, we've been dissecting fish to figure out what they've been eating and this week we'll be focusing on birds, seals and a couple of minor experiments on invertebrates (sand shrimps, baltic isopods) and fish (sand goby).

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

i want to make a 10 tub high (tub size- 34"x17.5") and have 5 tubs of 1.3 high blue pugets, then get them their own website :), tub number six is reserved for the 1.2 red-sides im getting from Sjoerd, tub number 7 and 8 are reserved for 1.2 flames in each, and i have no idea whats going in 9 and 10

What do you want next?
What's your ultimate ambition (Garter Snake-wise?)

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

wasnt she the one who had surgery because she was a little chubby? or something like that? the black eastern with some red? right?

That's great, Rhea.... just remind me... which one is 'Sammy'?

[drache]

you got it - that's her
she had liposuction on her chin (well sort of)
and she's my favourite snake
and it's her first litter
and no - nothing's happened yet, but here she is warming her big belly

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2503502024_2c2c38e66e_b.jpg

[enigma200316]

she looks huge, I'm saying 30-40 now just get it going............:D

[drache]

hey
maybe I should start a "how many" thread . . .

[reptileparadise]

She does look HUGE!

Well, I found my eurydactylodes female burried underground today...I'm guessing there are some eggs on their way...What a great birthday present! My entire geckoseason can be made or broken with this girl!

[drache]

She does look HUGE!
she's kind of big all over though
sometimes I wonder whether I've just let her get fat again, but there's no double chin
and also - some of the appearance of hugeness is due to the perspective of the shot

[reptileparadise]

wow, this is pretty neat!

[adamanteus]

Some eat right up to parturition, some fast for an alarmingly long time.... and everything in between.:rolleyes:

[reptileparadise]

[Snake lover 3-25]

:(:(:(:(:( I'D FIND A WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tear: :tear:

[Stefan-A]

I think its illegal to take them from the dens unless you have a permit to do so........
Last time I checked, it was.

I recommend obeying that law, there's no shortage of captive bred red-sided garters.
