ABOUT ME:
These lyrics from the song
"I'm Doin' Alright" describe me well!
"I'm doing alright, living my life.
You got yours and I got mine.
It may not look like much to you,
but it's simple and it suits me fine!
And I sleep good at night!"
Stranger in this Town.
"Hello pretty stranger, can I sit here for a while?
You know, I'm kind of tired and lonesome,
feels like I've been 10,000 miles.
I just want to talk to you a while..."

BREEDING PROJECTS

man the eggs are good im still waiting for you to have you babies ready to sell;) but im thinking of getting into ball pythons next year but i dont know there so expensive well see how we do with the beardies
No I am still waiting on him to let her go, she came into the states not 100% hes been treatin her, and still hears a tiny bit of a weeze, so he wants to insure she will b ok to sell, I dont mind, I rather just get a healthy snake and wait :) I have no doubts, he seems like a really nice guy and cares about what he sells. and even better if u give him thumbs up. How have u been? U got any babies yet???? My snake shop is sooo close to being done, I can taste it, its looking awesome, when it is complete I will post new pix of the cages, and set ups. It isnt going to be visions, and exo terras (well some exos) but it will be as uniform as I can get, I got it split off into sections, arboreals, larger boas, larger pythons, babies, inverts, feeders (I am growing rats, and mice, mealies, and roaches) I have been blessed with the job I have that has allowed me to get this stuff (its not what u know but who I just had someone GIVE me all thier old tanks, and i got chrome racks to sit them up on... ) It looks hella nice, I just got to get that flooring in and a couple more tanks cleaned and put in there. A lot are empty cause I am rebuilding the collection, but I am glad I have space and set ups for things. we r talking about getting about a dozen atbs from the wholesaler out of TX, I am just trying to be patient and not get my hopes up too high, cause it could be all garbage, or could be all gold... I am just happy as hell.....
How is your week going? Mine has been crazy busy, but after today I'll be off for 11 days...OH YEAH!
heyas bro.....you know I hear from you more than my 'legal' bro....puts a smile on my face. Thank you!
My week has been pretty similar to yours. I've been on call 24/7. I'm job hunting too! lol
And...i am j e a l o u s of your time off! But happy for you! Wheee! Any big plans for that block of sunshine in your life?
Can you tell I'm a time off sorta girl! And yet when I'm off I love to be at home....I'm also boring! lmao! (well, just broke really...I love going places but not when I don't have some cash to play with)
Any new babies for you?? I haven't been over to A-A except to read for the past few days (one short reply) but I am keeping my eye there.
I just emailed him but talking on the phone is cool too. Just let me know and no rush, my monitors won't be ready to breed anytime soon as they are both young:) BTW, they are both eating roaches on me now. The smaller one tried carrying one roach on top of my head to eat it but I was like no way! The way they eat they rub the legs off on me and I wasn't about to have roach guts and legs in my hair! Gross!
