3.3 Variable Kings
1.4 Kunasir Island Rats
1.2 Everglades Rats
0.1 White Oak Gray Rat
0.1 Speckled King
0.1 Tarahumara Mtn King
0.1 Baird's Rat
0.1 Amelanistic Corn
Yes, I like the sound of that.
Or maybe "lampropeltimania", especially in it's most severe cases . . .
I believe the correct pronuciation is Lamproholic.
Ah, yes, Lamproholic. That sounds about right. Thanks for the diagnosis Doc. lol 
it's actually quite common among forum users. They have a good 12 step program assuming you want to recover.

Last time I called my lamproholics anonymous sponsor he talked me into buying six instead of the two I went to buy (three were for him). It is an insidious disease that is not easily controlled (LOL).

ah yes...the old infamous blame it on your friend move. I must have seen that excuse used 100 times...in fact I used it myself many times.
Russ
Here's my excuse....if you all didn't keep posting such beautiful pictures of your awesome Thayeri, I wouldn't keep finding more that I "need". It's not really my fault, see? lol.
Hmm, I suppose I could blame the snakes themselves, for being so beautiful and fun to have. 
Kinda looks like my recovery isn't progressing very well.
Vicky
my latest purchase was from my friend talking me into it and I couldn't be happier! My husband and my dear friend Ken talked me into the orange cheek male and he will be here tomorrow so I am on pins and needles. he is my present for my 19th anniversary. Now although my husband normally doesn't want any more snakes coming into the house he bought this one, Great guy in my book...lol....
I also owe a big thank you to Mike B.

Congratulations on 19 years of wedded bliss. What a great gift! I know you're excited to have that stud comming your way, and Jerry I'm talking about the orange cheek male. LOL.
Ken
PS- And just for the record as long as we're placing blame Michelle is absolutely, solely responsible for my Thayeri addiction, and I can't thank her enough. lol.
Is is PPS, or PSS? I guess since he did so good you'll just have to return the favor by getting him that Surinam. lol.

Right now he thinks I need seriouse help when given the choice of jewelry or whatever I wanted and I picked a snake....lol...Of course you are to blame since you kept on get him, get him....lol.
I do think Jerry is the greatest at the moment though. I especailly liked it when he said no and your were on the phone saying get him, get him. We won't tell him that one though...lol..
And thank you for the Congrat's on the wedded bliss, it really is bliss with orange cheek who arrived just now and is even more stunning in person.
