WEEK IN REVIEW!!!!!!

toshamc May 18, 2007 02:36 PM

Flea Control for other pets – this is a great topic that didn’t really get a good response – As the weather warms - flea season is upon us – how do we go about protecting our other animals while keeping our snakes safe? To be honest - I bomb our house twice a year (all pets removed) and use a combination of carpet sprays and Advantage on our furry pets – been doing it this way for many years (including the snake room) and have yet to see any adverse reactions. Anyone else want to share their flea regimen?

New combination?! VPI introduces the VPI Axanthic Woma

Thanks Michael Ballroom Pythons South – Many thanks on a job well done with the captive hatched babies – looks like your program is once again a success!!!

Be amazed.... Year....Two..... – – Ron does it again – getting something a little different out of another Gravid Import – congratulations.

Rick of Renegade Reptiles passed away -Rick passed away after a battle with cancer on Wednesday May 10, 2007. He was one of the good guys and loved what he did – he will definitely be missed.

Feeding observation - BPs tend to slow down their feeding at a certain age: from around 8 months to 1 year.

waterbowls – Did you know - on average this topic comes up once ever three months.

The list of all the hats we wear – A revisit of a favorite thread

Yep 3 month til Daytona and the threads are already starting :
Wait till Daytona
Daytona 07
Daytona Beach

Quasi-Business related ?/mild venting What to do when you take a break and come back to find someone using your business name? – I suggest light sabers at 20 paces

regurgitate New baby just threw up her first meal – what now!

Question for anyone who has breed balls how long does it take a wild female to settle in, breed and produce a good clutch? AKA: the “Jeff was right – Wild Balls really do suck – buy American” thread.

Is it just me or are clutch sizes getting bigger than what the old books say?

NEW - Circle Back Ball – Please don’t take this the wrong way - it’s cute and all – but hardly original– perhaps you can contact the guy with the bulls eye ball or the one with the cheerio ball or the one with the eye ball (a personal favorite) and work on a combined project. Good luck with it!!!

HELP Something's Wrong With Oddball – Some really good information from Kim @ NARC on hard belly – thanks for sharing Kim – Please keep us updated on how this little ones progress – I have my fingers crossed for you!

Dbl Hets and the average consumer Will the average collector pay the double het prices? Everything has a value – if the demand is there the prices will remain – if not the price will drop. There are lots of variables as well as personal tastes and agendas to consider. In the 2-3 years it would take to raise the double hets to size and breed them hoping to make your designer morph – it’s extremely likely you could purchase said designer morph for the same price or less. Personally I’d rather just wait and buy the purdy snake of my choice – others would rather put in the time to produce it themselves and get the rush from seeing it’s little head poking out of the egg.

Imperfect BPs Who would want a tongueless albino? Should they have just been stuck in the freezer at birth or given to a good home?

Substrateless incubation – LOL this is getting to be as common as those “is this a pastel” threads – JP get to work on that article – we need a referable bookmark!!!

Mice in my freezer – Is it safe to keep my mice next to my ice cream?

Thread From Hell

Just a little venting – Have you seen the price of a Pinstripe lately!!!!

Great job Tosha! Also, I think I might have to call Maury because waiting almost two months till this clutch is due to hatch seems to take forever.

Keep your fingers crossed maybe I will get Pics of my very first Pastels posted in Next weeks WIR. Have a great day everyone. Thanks again Tosha
