Well how do you follow that up?

Not very easily... unless all us milk-heads have realized we all have some very cool things to show off. No need to wait until next February for another milk-a-thon... or January for Coles names with faces... you missed it this year Cole,what gives?

Anyway... I've been working on new enclosures for my snakes for six odd months... finally got them (the enclosures) home and finally started adding the decor... only the top three of the four enclosures are occupied... the top one by my abnorma, whose name I've finally decided is Trinity (Delilah is the name for the Hondo)... middle enclosure is occupied by both my polyzona, yes both, they've been housed together since they were around 5 months old, a long story but Gomez and Morticia have made it clear they like being together and I'm willing to indulge them for another 6 months or so... third enclosure is occupied by Ed, my sub adult Black Milk, the future mate to my adult female Jade ( Jade and Ed = Jaded... lame isn't it ). Bottom enclosure will eventually be occupied by either Gomez or Morticia when I finally separate them .

When weather finally permits I'll be hunting up some dri-ki from a local beaver pond to dress up the enclosures a little bit more... perhaps buy more fake plants, bromeliads and ferns rather than hanging vines... perhaps hunt up the fake rock post to make some cool hides... for now I'm working on another set of four enclosures to house Sampson and Neo and what will probably be a pair of Jalisco's.

So boys and girls... surely you to must be working on something besides what you're going to pair up this coming season... fairly certain we'd all like to hear about it, even if like me, you think such things as new enclosure aren't really worth mentioning

Again... anyway... tacos are waiting to be made

Take care all...wow,just hit the preview button... way too damn long isn't it!

Nice set up! I have been thinking real hard about adding a nice display enclosure to the living room or maybe the dining room. Thanks for sharing and good luck with all those nice milks.

Easy for me seeing as I only have 4 ssp's of milks to begin with.

Gerry, did you build that? If you did, you are one talented man. Very nice!!

Thanks Joe...not particularly talented though... I make my living as a cabinetmaker so it's as easy as falling out of a tree to me... talented is for those people that fix my car, my furnace or clean up the mess the rest of us make of this world... all a matter of perspective... but thank you just the same!

Hahaha. Yeah, it's all about who you talk to I guess. You ARE talented to me, as I am not sure I could make those as nice. Funny, I thought I was fairly smart until today. We were at my daughter's troop meeting and I met a guy who designed computer programs and made one that did 3d MRI imaging. WTF? This is one of those guys you drop off on an island with a toothbrush and nothing else and he sends you a text message a month later. (from Joe Rogan's stand up routine )
