Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well, let me start off by saying THAT I'm truly blessed by being able to own such a beautiful,gorgeous and healthy stable of bloods and boa's.(8 all togeather)However my dream list consist of....A male super salmon boa,female albino boa,A pair of Borneo or sarawak bloods,Indian python,(molurus,molurus),spiny tail iguana,rhino iguna,black throut monitor,North brazilian boa,bolivian boa,and finally hog island boa.Oh yeah jungle carpet python and argentine boa.My real dream is to open up a hair salon and let my future wife run it so it can finance my reptile shop or become a breeder.No wait,What I really want is,... to have KARA'S JOB !!!

Hmm...

Well, if you go to the KS photo gallery and do a search by username, and type in KLG, there's a lot of my "dream list" right there . . . Seriously, I'd love to have a pair of striped bloods, one albino, one just a really deep red wild type. In fact, I think the blood I'd classify as my "dream blood" would just be a really cherry red, thickly striped wild type with a really light, peachy head. And tame. I'd also have a tame male green anaconda, and I've always loved the ... um ... (in a quiet, ashamed voice) leucistic ball pythons.

So there's my list for ya..

though rojo loco (or what ever it's name was) is on my list
along with some albino bloods, matrix would be nice, Ivory would br great but idealy I would just LOVE to produce a freak or two . you know somthing NO one else has seen and then get to name it and learn how to prove the genetics and get all the offers that would tempt you to sell but then you don't cause you like the idea of being the only one. then you prove iut and produce enough to sell then you get to build a building for breeding your own line and you live in the country in some state with less stupid laws(not Illinois) then you can expand and start getting more exotic morphes and you quit your full time job and start being refered to as the "master" and then you can hire some buddies that have the same passion and spend your days working on and talking about your passion to your buddies............Oh sorry is anyone still there (cricket noise cricket noise)

My customers & employees are actually rock stars - we've been very, very lucky here.

Just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean

Yeh.... I did a small colony of both just for my own 100 and I decided RODENTS SUCK that is why the big "G" made his perfect creature eat them. ANd as far as Rock Stars go you mean to tell me you have not had 1 emp.or cust. You wanted to cut up and feed to a monitor. If so that is very fortunate.

As far as BLOOD PYTHON customers - no way, every one has been great! (knock on wood!)

hmm I'd love a pair of matrix bloods...those are het for ivory right? mmmmm pretty and maybe a couple of ivory bloods and marbled Borneos but mmmm...as far as bloods go, I tend to lean more toward the normal-looking ones than the albinos and stripeds and most of the other morphs in general :/

oooh oooh! I know! I calm amethystine python would be wonderful
oh and a Boelen's.....oh yeah

and if I had the experience, I'd be interested in a king or cape cobra or a good ole southern cottonmouth

and if this list can include non-snake things, I'd also love to get a Les Paul and to chill with Billy Corgan, Marilyn Manson, and Trent Reznor

and an alligator

later people...

"That Owen kid...man...he really loves that snake of his." ~Owen

Well.. I guess most of them would be bloods Albinos, the Barkers Ivory bloods, uhmm.. an Albino Borneo (someday they will pop up!), a nice pair of blacks, uhmm some nice reds, the bloodlines ghost x striped line, lol I dunno I like em all I think I like the weird/crazy/beautiful stuff that isnt in the "classified morphs" the most.

Non bloods - lecoustic BRB's, purple phase albino retics, (dwarf) super tiger retics, Kara's golden child line retics, a pair of black headed pythons.. albino cobras, some Gaboon Vipers! I could go on...

Hey Owen I have a Les Paul I might be selling to get some more snakes! (I've been saying this forever and it still hasn't happened so who knows?)

Now I have
2.4 ADULT SPOTTED TURTLES
1.3 SUB ADULT SPOTTED TURTLES
2.2 NORTH AMERICAN WOODS
0.0.8 BLANDINGS TURTLES
1.2 ADULT ALBINO REDEARS
2.2 HET FOR ALBINO BOAS
1.1 NORTHERN PINES
1.0 REDBLOODS.
I would really like a pair of albino bloods, a pair of piedbald ball pythons, a pair of snow boas, and a pair od dwarf burms. After that some chinese three striped box turtles and Spider Tortoises. I am a turtle guy at heart but snakes are second. Human nature is that we want what we can't have , makes me wonder if gater snakes were all endangered would we be posting on a garter forum.

I got a couple(20)mostly Scott Felzer and you should see some of the morphs. Just like bloods they get a bumb wrap (just a differant kind)

Yea I know. My buddy ,Tom Dickinson has some cool garters just not my cup of tea. But I am sure I am one of the few turtle lovers on this forum.lol

I first got into reptiles when my mom found a juvie box turtle in the back yard...

I currently have two Eastern boxes, three common snappers (2-4 years old so they're not too big yet), an Eastern mud, and a two-year-old Gulf Coast spiny softshell

and then...I discovered blood pythons heh

so you're not alone man...I started out as a turtle guy

Definitely some T positive albino bloods, along with some of those incredible Ivory bloods. Boelens are right up there next to the bloods...I really don't know anything about the Boelens but they're gorgeous! A yellowhead and/or lavender albino retic would be sweet. Hmmm, anything belonging to the Aspidites group. Since this is a 'wish list' I'm going to add a gabby to it....I don't see myself ever getting into venomous, but dang those are some amazing snakes. Oh, and some suriname or guyuana boas....

Now as far as the Non-reptile list........

Hey,
I would have to say that my dream snakes would have to include:
a pair of Amazon Basin emeralds, super black bloods ultimate find for me (Tim Meade line), the reddest of Red bloods, with crimson colored heads. Kara knows what I'm talking about; she once sold one that I had eyed to a friend of hers and boy was I feeling the pain. Sorry I missed that one. A pair of Boelen's pythons, a pair of the whitest Northern Pines. A pair of Aru gtp's. And I think I've got one licked so far: a pair of Okeetee corns. I'm raising some babies that were a gift from a fellow herping buddy of mine that should turn into some incredible animals. Oh! I almost forgot, a pair of pure Indian pythons. Wait one more, geesh!! a pair of true Eastern Indigos. I think that should cover it. LOL! If I think of any thing else I'll ammend my list.
