Hey there! My name's Holly. Just wanted to say Welcome to TH! I hope you find the site useful. I'm always here to lend an ear if you ever need anything. See ya around! <3 ox

My snake..well..she's getting around the size where I'm thinking I need to start getting the pennies together for a vivarium rather than the faun she's in right now. She's just shy of two feet, and well, she's actually really really docile. Very inquisitive, will even sometimes come up onto my hand if I place it in her viv (other times she just kinda looks at me, flicks her tongue and hides under the substrate). She's only ever tried to bite me once, but that was my own fault since I hadn't washed my hands after handling her dinner, but she missed.

The gecko ate, yay. It ate some calcium dusted small locusts, though its rather lazy when it comes to hunting, it just kinda waits for one to bump into it then noms it.
I've put a couple more in and have left him to see how he goes about it.

Hehe, I did know that
Hehe, it must be really convenient having him around as an instant source of information and stuff. About leo's though, how can you get them used to handling? I tried yesterday, but the poor thing just panicked something awful.
Wow, niice. Hehe, do you have any pics of Gina? Also, how is she temperement-wise?
Lol, escapees must be annoying. My flatmate was gonna get some emperor scropions a wee bit back, but I think he ran into some financial trouble so he couldn't

Uch, yeahh... It's not actually went into any of the new hides (toilet roll tubes) I've put out for it, its just kinda stood in a corner and it seems to be asleep. Thanks for the tip about not giving him too much at once, I was gonna just tip in a box of crickets and let it nom at will.
I also cut out a bit of my sock and left it in the faun, so it gets used to my smell. The upper part of the sock though, not the smelly part.
Thats terrible =( Iguna's are such nice creatures. I remember I spent hours and hours researching every iota of information I could find on corn snakes before getting my corn, and am doing so for leo's too.
Hm..an albino burmese python..wow...8ft though? I'm guessing its really young. Whats it like owning such a ridiculously massive snake? ^^

EDIT: And don't worry, I was probably worse when I first joined ^^;

Okay, first of all, I'll answer your question. The rules are here
.
Also I should point out that you just posted a visitor message on your own profile when I'm guessing you wanted to post one on mine. To do that, click on my username to go to my profile and post it through the box there, or the easier way is to view conversation, and it'll show just what we've said to each other.
I ended up rescueing that leopard gecko btw, poor thing wasn't fed for a month. I'm gonna go get it some nice juicy crickets as well as some calcium supplement first thing tomorrow. Just finished cleaning out the ancient filth in it's faunarium...gah...poor thing.
It's fiesty though, made a dash for it when I was putting him back in his faun, even bit me, though it got my thumbnail and I'm worried it might have chipped it's teeth since well, I'm not sure, but I think I see signs of calcium deficiency in the poor thing =(

keeps tarantulas is great =] it can happen, but with keeping lizards and snakes things can go wrong.. by moult you mean shed right?

yeah ive been around them since i was little =] my mum hates them lol, when i was about 6 i really wanted a pet and my mum was silly enugh to let my dad take me xD for some reason i wanted a millipede lol but came out with my tarantula =] there fairly easy to keep to be honest, you should get one =] chillien roses and mexican red knees are good, there pretty docile and more likely to flick hairs than bit if there pissed but not very likely to do that either nless you REALLY upset them. there are risks with every animal =] my bearded dragons for example, one of them likes to try and eat the others (dead or alive -.-) (we only just recently found out lol)

but yeah tarantulas =] good pet =D

umm questions questions.. were are the rules the site? O.o

Hey there =)
I posted on your introduction thread.
I just have to ask, whats it like keeping tarantulas? I mean, its not that I'm arachnophobic or anything, but I'm always worried that they'll fail a moult and they'll bleed to death, so I never got any, though I've had the option.
Anyways, I hope things are well, if you have any questions with the site, feel free to ask me ^^
