Somebody help me! please???

boaphile Nov 01, 2008 03:32 PM

Somebody help me! please???

I am starting to feel that distinct tingle that can only be the urge to get another Ball Python! Help me please!

This is what I make! I make Boas! I don't make Ball Pythons!

But oh, that temptation is raising it's ugly head! It really didn't happen until Craig Kade, curse the day I ever met Craig Kade! Craig Kade had to tell me the sex of the little Piner Ball, I so eagerly bought from him one vulnerable day in October. I didn't ask what sex it was! I didn't want to know! After all, I only wanted ONE Ball Python! There was no reason for me to know the sex of that... little Boy Ball Python! AHahh!

I know what you did now Craig Kade... it's like giving candy to a baby, and a baby always wants more doesn't he. We'll you were right, but I am going to try to resist. But how!?!?!?

I feel that urge to make myself just one little tiny Lemon Blast. Just one... Will that hurt anything? What will I ever do!?!??

Help me! PLEASE!!!!???

Welcome to the nut house.

Shhh Rich,He said LemonBlast I don't think He knows the Defference Yet..lol. Jeff Your going to need afew females Pastels to make those Lemonblast.......... This is what Brad and Brian did To Me many Years ago,and Now I have way more Balls then Boas. I had no Idea I even told them all I wanted to do is have afew groups of Defferent Ball Morphs and hold out at that.. Kade had a very well thought out plan, I think Brad may have done it to Him and he's passing it on..lmao .. Good luck with Your lonley little male pin that needs some Friends.

Welcome to the Dark Side! These little things are like heroin. From the outside looking in it is easy to say, "That's not for me." But now you've had your first fix.

Get out now while you still can. It starts with a Pin and progresses to "I'll just make one Lemon Blast." Before you know it, you find yourself giving up beer and cheeseburgers to save up for next year's projects. You poor, poor sap.

...but then again, what else do us Minnesota Herpers have to keep us occupied with during the winter?

fatjay Nov 02, 2008 12:08 AM

I don't know if I'd go as far as saying I'd give up beer and cheeseburgers... but I get your point.

Jay, which would you have an easier time doing... going one season without burgers and beer ... or... going a season without breeding or purchasing a new morph?

See what I mean? My name is Brandon and I'm an addict.

xXVanXx Nov 02, 2008 07:15 PM

Well I would and I have... Try it,You'll have alot more Ball Python Morphs. Turn it into a Real group of Ball Morphs. All that other stuff is bad for You anyway.lol

Yeah, I'm sure. I could give up the beer easily enough, but I'll never give up cheeseburgers, or meat in general. I'm a meatatarian. It's a personal choice.

Good luck and love the boas.

jaymiller242 Nov 03, 2008 11:48 AM

Man, you guys are all right about one thing..I had a Boa or two in my days past but this is insane. Its a terrible addiction and I have friends that are not helping me with an intervention like they should...lol. My son moved in with me two years ago. He had 1 male Ball Python named Monty.. Now look what has happened since my son has introduced me back into the world of Herps with Monty.. All I can say is good luck in kicking the addiction.. Jay

This is an EASY problem to solve... when that snake gives you major feeding problems in the future, just drop it in the cage of one of these and the problems will be solved FAST!

Matt
p.s. - Yes, I STILL love and keep a bunch of Ball Pythons, but after keeping Black Heads I realize I've had it all wrong for many many many years... give 'em a try and see if I'm wrong!

littleleeper23 Nov 04, 2008 04:30 AM

Hi Jeff,

Go get ahold of Marc Bailey and get yourself a Pastel desert. Make the dirst desert blast. With that pinstripe. Check out Robyn's desert pinstripe and you will really be drooling!!!!!!!! WOW!! Now imagine pastel on top of it.

Lee

Ps. Talked to Mark Wendling, and he is living in a land of bears and TREES!! Retired and doing great but sadly herpless.
