Ugh, the feeding outside of the cage issue. Every time this burm snubs food my husband pops up and says, "You know, I bet if you feed him outside again, he would eat. He just wants to stretch out and eat." I give him "the look", and he comes back with, "We did OK with the comforter." You have to picture us wrestling this huge snake that just ate to really get the effect of his statement. He's getting more info through osmosis, but he comes up with some strange comments now and again. I won't let him near any of my breeding things though. No touching the eggs, don't adjust the temps, don't even glance toward the incubator, LOL! He's pretty good about leaving that stuff alone. But, hey, you guys go ahead and stick together!
I love your story about the albino. That's us. Most of what we have has been given to us through a rescue sort of situation or acquired very cheaply because someone was tired of their pet. We get the $40 5 1/2 ft BCI that maybe isn't quite as contrasted as some of the other red-tails, but has a great disposition and is great at shows. We have a B/W tegu that is undersized and has had a broken tail. We get those kinds of beauties. Someone gave us a gorgeous Sunglow corn snake from Kathy Love that we use for breeding that is rather nasty and has a defect on his ribcage, but makes beautiful babies! The things we think are lovely are just appealing to us. The only really expensive thing my 13yo daughter would like is a piebald ball python...ouch..$$$
