I like the emerald tree boa too....they have some special conditions to be kept in to be healthy....there are some really nice....cheaper ones....that I would recommend as starters...they are much easier keepers to learn with....some are corn snakes, milk snakes, ball python, or hog nosed snakes....the corn and milk snakes have several "patterns and colors" ya can choose from...the ball python is the most docile snake there is and only gets to about 4-5' in length, but is a wide heavy bodied one....the hog nosed is even shorter and tops out around 2' and is a wide bodied snake....just do your research and work out "what" ya intend to feed it and the supply that is available to ya, before ya get it.....if I can help ya in any way, just let me know....will be more than glad to help ya out.....:)

Thank you for offering your help and knowledge! Appreciate it! We looked up the green tree python, way too much money and it's not a good "beginner" snake. We did check out some starter snakes as well. :)

then you get stuck with them when he heads to college 6 years later! I hope you also like snakes.
He's being it with him to college. Snakes don't bother me but I would prefer not to have contact with them.

Since ya got a pool....ya need at least a couple of ducks to enjoy it, while ya aren't using it....:)
Great suggestion, but no thanks. :)

Miss @Ridgetop,

Why don't you take a picture of your son, the dog, your DH, and you all crowded into the pool -- maybe tomorrow on the 4th. And you have to post the picture here!

My first endeavour at animal husbandry as a kid was raising and breeding mice. I traded the babies to the local pet stores in exchange for feed and supplies, so they basically paid for themselves.
When I got myself a ball python many years ago (I don’t have her anymore :() I got a few mice again to raise for her meals. They had enough babies to continue to pay for their own upkeep, so I basically fed all my pets for free :)

Another one of my hens went broody. The Colombian Wyandotte went broody a few weeks ago and I finally broke her of it. She's now laying again. Then on Monday I noticed that my Cuckoo Maran went broody. I've been picking her out of the nesting box and get her to go outside. Hopefully she doesn't stay broody for too long.
Question, will you still eat the eggs that the hen had been sitting on for the day? The eggs had been in there for only for the day. It's hot out plus the heat from the hen, just making sure that the eggs are still ok to eat.

Feeding your pets for free that's the best way!
