Good idea. I keep my wife chained up wearing a nice lace teddy with stilleto heels while she calls me master and..... oops, got carried away. Anyway, yes I agree.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

I am just as bad as my wife when it comes to purchasing "pets". We are both animal lovers and over dinner TONIGHT she tried to hit me up for another parrot - LOL!

As far as reptiles go, we have a mutual agreement that we will NOT attend another herp show. The last herp show we decided to keep our money at home, but still managed to go to the nearest ATM machine and withdraw several hundred bucks from our credit card - pathetic!

GOOD LUCK!!!

yeah thats why Bachmans idea just might work because it doesnt take much convincing for me to get one.
BTW Good luck next season on the 66%. I think we will be purchasing some albino hets this year.

I will trade you.

People are always saying to me "so your boyfriend lets you keep all those snakes?" I never get what they mean - as if he can stop me? He has his hobbies and I have mine and we both respect that. Besides, I don't think he minds because he gets to handle them but never has to clean up after them.

Besides, she might not see the getting tied up as a deterrant.
