My Hoggy breeder really, strongly, "suggested" (put down the law...) that I not patronize PetCo/PetSmart, et al, but the independent pet stores. At least snakey-wise. And I do agree. When the independents go, so goes a way of life...

I can't deny him anything, my breeder. He's been SO GOOD to me - 24/7 available, even a couple times a day - and given me so much and been so helpful. Had Kenabec not eaten Thurs nite, my breeder was going to take him back, get him on live pinkies again (because I can't as THEY'RE ALIVE!) and again transition him, Kenabec, to f/t ones. But, Kenabec did eat.

So today I went to Twin Cities Reptiles for stuff to go with the new tank/stand I got off craigslist... AND THEY HAVE FEEDER GUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more rosie reds for Peepers and Jeepers!!!!!!!!!!! NOPE!

Prices vary. Some o'the stuff is more expensive, some is WAY CHEAPER than PetCo/PetSmart. My breeder gave me the name of a woman (to be nice; she's actually a little girl from the view o'my years!) to work with and that she'll always take care o'me. Met her today. NICE young lady and very sweet and HELPFUL.

So. There you have it. I DID find feeder guppies and I'm as happy as a fly on $h!t!
