Okay so I was out of commision for a few weeks when my computer decided to give out on me and I had to scramble to afford a new one which is unfortunately putting off the king cobra purchase I had started lining up. I have changed a few things around and redecorated cages so keep an eye out for pictures soon. Redecorating is what got me through 2 weeks without a computer and TV so my beaded lizards cage looks amazing right now.
The Cobras are growing fast and will be ready to move into the 4 foot boamaster cages in a few months time so I am preparing those cages (adding locks and double screening). The caught the eyelash vipers mating but they are no longer together. I am not sure if the female is gravid or not but I had an opportunity to increase my chances of getting some babies (and really awesome ones at that!). Doug Foster was a big player in the herp industry back in the day and he is still keeping a bunch of nice snakes but did not have a male for his eyelash vipers. I offered him mine for a breeding loan and now my male is over at his place breeding with a leucistic eyelash viper among some other goodies like orange, peach, and yellow phases. I know the babies will all most likely be phenotypically normal but who knows, I might get something cool and if not, I will get some nice hets to hold on to for future projects.
I am also having a strange urge to get something with fur since I took home a Kinkajou to babysit for a few days. I do not usually like many mammals but I kind of want something I can pet now. I might get a cat but I am looking into other possibilities right now since you all know how much I like rare or odd pets. Foxes have been one of my interests and I have been able to track down a breeder in the states but I need to clear it with my apartment building first. The lease says no dogs but I think foxes might be pushing it with them since I am already on the fence with my venomous. Who knows, it is just something I am looking into at this point. If you guys have any other suggestions for something social and furry that is at or under the $500 mark, let me know please. I am open to suggestions at this point.
I am also starting a new job as an animal trapper next week and I will be licensed to catch all sorts of goodies like gators and nutria and other typical nuisance wildlife. It sounds like it will be fun and it pays well. I will post pics of anything interesting.
Also in the works right now is a business plan for a pet store. I am not going to give out too many details because it is just in the beginning phases but I have gotten some money together and a few people that are interested in opening one up with me. I certainly have the contacts and knowledge so we will see where this goes.
Okay, sorry for the essay I just have insomnia and wanted to catch you all up since I have had a lot happen while I was out of touch.
