Ohhhhhh your Bernese is GORGEOUS!!!! My old boss breeds and shows hers; she was at Westminster this year. What a great breed of dog!!! She brought four of hers every day to the feed store where we worked and they were a load of fun. They would babysit my baby goat kids when I was bottle raising them and had to take them to work. :-)

[Snake lover 3-25]

Oh how cute!! does she by any chance live in NY?

I agree i only have 2!!!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

keeping a large collection well cared for is not hard at all as long as you have a SYSTEM. I always come home from work and spend at least an hour or two, if not more poopscooping, and feeding whichever snakes need fed that night in the snakeroom every day. Sunday is my big cleaning day.

When I go away my family looks after them.

[Stefan-A]

.......subject to change without notice??:D

(oooo, that quote got messed up....!!)
Indeed. :D Might drop to 2.6 in about 4 days. ;) Or 1.4. (I think 1.0 might even change owner.) Then it might climb to about 2.6.48 in about 6 weeks. You never know. ;)

Yeh unfortunately I'm the only snake lover amoung my friends and family. Yeh, I've got a system laid out for my guys too, just kind of prefer a small collection. Love my garters to death, but I actually think I like them better in the wild. So this way I can have a small group to work with and still be able to go out as often as possible and appreciate them in the wild too.:D

[Rook]

I have:

snakes:
1 Albino Checkered Garter(Rook), but I am looking at adding more Garters lol

dogs:
2 Border Collies(Happy and Misty)
1 Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever(Electra-for those that saw westmin. this year, the BOB Toller was her daddy)
1 JRT/Pom. mix(Rusty)
1 Schipperkie/Bosten terrier mix(Ripley)
1 unknown mix(Perky)

Guinea pigs:
2 silkie/abbysinion mixes(Checkers and Puddin)

Rabbits:
1 lop from the humane society(Kari)

Birds:

[Stefan-A]

1 Pearl Cockatiel(Toivo)
Why "Toivo"? :)

[Rook]

I am half Finnish and I recall my first bird when I was little was Isko, then I had a whole bunch with ordanary names, but after Casey I didnt have any birds for the first time that I can remeber. when I started to get birds again, I wanted to go back in time and give all my birds Finnish names,as sort of reminisnt of Isko. so far I have had Taru and currently Toivo, my next bird will also receive a Finnish name :p

[anji1971]

I'm not Finnish, but I've always thought they had the coolest names. I should have done that with my kids, but the family probably wouldn't have understood......:rolleyes:

[Loren]

keeping a large collection well cared for is not hard at all as long as you have a SYSTEM.
When I go away my family looks after them.

Definitely agree about the system part, but I dont have one single family member that will touch a snake(plus I currently live alone), and my only reptile-loving friends live outside of my town, so its a good thing they can go without care for several days when I go away.

[ssssnakeluvr]

[quote=gregmonsta;45974]I aggree :) .... every one under 10 Garters should receive an instant shipment!!!! :D

well......soon as I can get them up to size!!!! the orange one will definitely be by next fall. unfortunately was a bit of a mixup when I got the snakes, was supposed to be a pair of silver, a pair of orange, and a pair of yellow.....i got 2 female silver, 2 female orange, and 2 male yellow.......sent Scott one silver and she passed away unfortunately. hopefully they will all be breeding size next fall...one of the yellow males will be alongwith the orange.

[Bay_area]

My last count was 85 snakes, that was last fall. I may of gotten rid of a couple & I think I picked 1 up since then.:confused: Anyhow, I will have to count again. The agreement with the wife is that I will keep it under 100, not including offspring. She says I need to attend a 12 step group for snake addiction...LOL!
We also have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 tortoises & some frogs & toads. Not counting the rodents because your not suppose to play with your food...LOL!

[Lori P]

Jerry, I'm pretty sure the 12 step addiction program begins with one eastern. And then step 2 is two pugets. Step 3 is three red spotted.... is your wife SURE she wants you in this program?? :D:D

[Bay_area]

How could anyone deny me keeping such BEAUTIFUL snakes!!!

& of coarse the Garters!!! The only snakes that stay in the bedroom!
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c306/norcalsnakemaster/IMG_2345.jpg

See what I mean, how can I only keep a couple of snakes. They are all soooo awesome! It is hard for me as it is to get rid of the offspring every year. However, I know that if I keep over 100 snakes it will become more of a job than an adventure. I do not want that to happen, because I might loose the passion for them then. Although there is alot of work to take care of them, I still enjoy it!!!
Sincerely, Jerry

[Snaky]

I wonder how much I'd drool if you'd post picture of your complete collection! You certainly have some very nice snakes! :)
