spent some more moneys.

welp, i didn't buy another animal. but i did purchase a new cage and some pvc materials so i could make some tub perches. i also purchased some frozen rodents from a company called Layney Labs. out of all the frozen rodent breeders/ dealers i have been able to find on the interwebs i liked their web site the best. i am pretty excited about it. i only have 2 animals thus far so i ordered 25 pinky mice for my youngling, and 25 rap pups for Gorgeous George. i hope they are as good as their web site has been led to believe.

now i have been looking at several custom cage manufactures. ever since i bought all the materials and made my own cage i have been wanting to get a custom plastic cage and give it a shout. i decided to go with a ReptiRacks 23x23x23 cage. i am pretty excited about it too.i learned a lot about what i like, and what makes a good cage, and what i would change if i had to build another one. i could have bought 2 nice custom cages for what i have invested in my 1 cage for Gorgeous George.  i will up date more as i get these items in. just board at work and wanted to write something in my blog.

later

so sad :(

so im just updating to say that the most gorgeous animal, that one i was hoping to get this week mentioned in my previous post, will not be sold. Ben Evens, the breeder of that animal has decided to add her to his collection instead of selling her. i was so crushed, it totally ruined my day. of course i can completely understand from where he is coming, and don't blame him in the least, i was really hoping to add that girl to my collection.

however, i have decided to take that moneys and purchase some much needed items instead. i plan to get some solid pvc bar and make perches for my 9 tub rack. i also want to purchase some frozen thawed feeder rodents from Laney labs. i have been wanting to do so for a while. i will get 25 at a time and that should hold me for quite a while. i will be saving fair amount of moneys too.

anyway, im totally bummed that i couldn't get to purchase that girl tho. :(

anyway..

finaly!



good morning all. just wanted to write a little bit to update the blog. the above animal is the Vinsky blue male that i have been on hold and paying for for the bast 3 months. he comes from Rocky Gravely @ Arboreal Enthusiast.com.. i think he is a beautiful animal and i cant wait to receive him. he was 950 bucks, and i went into purchasing agreement before buying the blue line neonate from Rico. however since i had less time to pay for a much more expensive animal, i paid Rico first. then Christmas came, and now that its the new year things have finally slowed down enough for me to get this animal paid in full.

currently he is in Rocky's care, and i believe he has this male paired up with Stella, one of his more beautiful females! an agreement worked up by Rocky and myself is that he will continue to hold the above pictured animal for a breeding loan. i stand to get 25% of any offspring this paring yields. so i am very excited about that as well!

here is a picture of my male and Stella, Rocky's female, with whom he is currently paired.


i am supper excited. i hope it yields a good clutch. i would be happy with one neonate, but of course would like more than one! :) worse case it proves unsuccessful  and i don't get anything. if that happens i still have a killer animal, of which i am very proud.

anyway..



now, aside from this i have also found another breeder by the name of Ben Evens. Ben has a very nice High Yellow clutch that started to hatch on the 11th of this month. i am very excited about this clutch and WILL buy a baby or two from it. he also has a most gorgeous 2011 female for sale and he only wants 400 bucks! she is a must have for me in my collection. it is my plan to hurt myself, and go hungry to pay for her this week  or by next Thursday for sure! she is pictured above. her eyes, and those yellow dorsal flowers outlined in black and blue just drive me wild. she is also a most beautiful shade of green. i simply must have her.

anyway, that's all for today. hopefully i will have more to update you on next week.

thanks to any and all who take time to read this.

going good!



good morning all. the above animal is a nice female that i am hoping to add to the collection this week. i think she is absolutely stunning, and i have to have her!!! she isn't very expensive either. :) anyway, things are going good with my two animals. Gorgeous George is doing very well and RD12129 is also doing great. i only have 1 final payment of 300 bones to Rockey for the Vinsky blue male, which i am very excited about!! there are lots of other animals in the future that i hope to acquire too, among them are some nice Lemontree high yellow neonates!! i hope to get some nice Aru animals soon too. and God willing, the sire to my little one. i want that animal so bad!!

anyway, i gotta run, i will update more as the week progresses.

later kids.

product review #2

okdoki.

i have the rack all set up and rinning for a few days now. i really like this rack. it functions great and is very sturdy. its not very big but nice and deep. all in all i would say it was worth the 235 or so bucks i paid for it. aside from the slight decrepinsy i have with the sellers comunication and the time it took to receive the rack, im very happy. the tubs hold hunidity very well and are perfect for young neos. did i mention that it came fully assembled, i didnt not have to assemble anything. big plus in my opinion.

anyway i give it an A+
