Update on snakes

[Josh]

Alright i email scott feltzer on when to call my dad as it being im only 14. He didnt write back but i assume that he is just going to call. i told him to cal 5 or 6 thursday (tommorow). So i hope that is settled. i have the enclousure ready. I am also getting a ball python for only 39 buck wich is pretty good compare to 80 bucks every were else. The Python is a baby and is b-e-a-u-tiful. I have a temp. tank for him ( a 20 gallon). In two weeks im gonna have about 150-200 dollars for a tank.

I have a couple questions.

To those who have had expierience building their own tanks, Do you think i can build a suffiecient enclouser for a 4' snake? Well using the amount of funds?

Also if the t. radix is going going well i plan on getting a california redsided or an albino checkered

I CANT WAIT!!!
lol had to get it out of me.
Pics eventually.

for 150-200 you should be able to build a pretty nice enclosure,
to give you an idea the big cage cost me about 325 bucks to build

it measures 6.5 x 2.5 x 2.5

yeah - I noticed that too
makes me have second thoughts on the kittens we were going to get after the move
our old cat was real mellow with the herps, but he was old - and mellow to begin with

Scott will get back to you, he's just very busy lately....he's going to an expo in Florida and is working real hard on getting all his babies eating pinkies by the time he goes to the show. If you don't hear from him in a week, drop him another email.....:D

[Josh]

alright thanks
Thanks amievaboy.
Im considering two options right now
1. Wait another week get like 300 and build
2. Or get one from glass cages.

yea, the cats in this house love reptiles and not like I do, they have been a constant menace to my herpkeeping, but I cant boot them or my gf will boot me hahaha but at least the tegus can fight back a lot better than the smaller reptiles in the house

That lizard looks kinda curious (mostly angry).
You should be careful about that cat!

[KITKAT]

Ha! Looks like my house (hence my avatar)!

But I love my cats alot... would never give them the boot!:D

[Josh]

hey i guys i decided against the python for now. it is a really cool snake but i am still to interested in gartersi want to explore them more before i start a complete other breed. So i am getting the t. radix. And i was talking to the pet store guy and there getting a shippment of garters so i am gonna look into that.

[adamanteus]

You'll love the T. radix, Josh. Excellent choice!

[Josh]

hey guys got some news scott doesnt have normal t. radix anymore but im getting 1.1 maritimes from vwsrcool

[adamanteus]

Unfortunately, I've never had the privilage of keeping pallidulus, so I'll be following your posts with interest, Josh. Keep trying for the radix though, they're great!:D

[Josh]

Don't know if they'll be there again this time, but there was a dealer at the last Hamburg show that had some pretty nice, wild caught T.radix. Usually the Aug. and Sept. shows are really good for garters. Good luck in your search and if you do find any nice captive bred ones, let me know. I'd love to get a pair of the normal T.radix too.:cool:

alright so your not goin?

[enigma200316]

I might go to the hamburg show its only a couple hours from me, and they also have cabela's there........they have a neat fish exibit!!!!!!

[GarterGuy]

alright so your not goin?

Oh no, I'll be there. Doesn't always mean I'll catch everything though. I've gotten there late sometimes and missed out on some great deals. One time some guy was selling adult flames for $40-$50 (think that's what they were going for...it was several years ago, all I know is they were cheap!!) totally missed out on that one....made me sick!!!:eek:
