i'm getting rid of some. my retic, my grn anaconda(baby). i want to focus on etb's and gtp's and brb's. of course my pair of indians are spared. i bought a baby biak just a while ago. don't know much of them. just applying the emerald experiance to it. i leave the gtp alone basically. heard the tail is delicate. it fed. i'm just being patient with it. i have much more confidence with emeralds. i've had several. ain't that crazy?

iv just got rid of my Brb and regret it already but i made sure he went to a good home.. Mark666black on here. i got my first carpet a year ago and fell in love, now its carpets all the way for me, im running out of space already and have 5 more coming soon! and hopefully in a year or so my dream snakes, a pair of Pure Gosford Diamonds need too find a little corner for a pair of Sorongs though, they are my personal favourit GTP's. i like emeralds but i think the GTP's are nicer looking, Etb's have huge heads?

like they got giant brains!!. my only other morelia was a jungle carpet. yellow was great. my boss bred them and gave me pick. that one was a perfect snake. i sold it to a guy who breeds them and he wanted the genes! it was great. made things look easy.

we have always had diamonds at our zoo. i watched them for hours.(i took classes there) went behind the scenes all the time. a life experience. diamonds, i can only dream. i think chondros and emeralds are a pretty good specialty. i can't do it all. but with gtp's it's unknown territory for me. i can do it. carpe diem!!

they are easy, arent aggresive like most people think, come in a huge variety of shapes and colours and dont hide away all day long... Perfect snakes imo, thats why i love them so much anyway? and yes, Diamonds are the dream snakes for me, hopefully il make a bit of money this year, atleast enough for a nice Pair of hatchlings, i dont care that it will be 5 years before i can breed them, they have always been my number one snakes, you just have to care for them properly, how old are the ones in the zoo? and here you go mate, new avatar just for you

sounds good, i think il have diamonds for life once i get into them and hopefully il be able to get some American bloodline way down the road too but its not something im going to rush into. waited this long and i want to get everything perfect, i dont want two dead snakes 6-7 years down the line because i did something wrong (Dps)
