Decision time

[tommymac]

As most of you know were in the market for a house. Well we found 2 we like and have bid on. Now were getting some pressure from them as far as what we want to do. They are both having open houses this weekend so we need to move fast. Were having a real hard time deciding though. Both have some small pros and cons but nothing that clearly distinguishes one from the other. I think I will be happy calling either of them home but am sure i will have second thoughts no matter the decision we make.

I guess you could call this a good problem, but this is a very important decision obviously and it sux kinda being rushed.

[askmrjesus]

Make a list of all the things you like and dislike about both houses.

Then throw the list away and make up your fucking mind.

Thats what its comming down to. I was planning to do that today but had a real shitty day at work so I didnt get to dwell on it much if at all.

On a more important note the one I am leaning towards has a nice outdoor area to set up a brewery.

Tom

[askmrjesus]

brewery.

Problem solved. :lol:

JC

[rogue]

Problem solved. :lol:

JC

Yep :dthumb:

[tommymac]

Problem solved. :lol:

JC

Dont ya love it when things are simplified like that :lol: fortunatley the missus seems to be swaying that way too.

Tom

[derf]

I was gonna suggest that you grab a cheese ridden patient lady of yours, get her all doped up on vicoden, and ask her which of the houses she likes better, then pick the other one. There will be less crackheads partying at your place

Seems I am now leaning towards one and the missus likes the other. were going to go back and look at them again more closely on sunday.

But after all this and the kinda crummy week I had I will go to croxley stonight for a pint or 4.

[tommymac]

So basically I will wake up one morning you will be gone, my beer will be gone and fungo will have morphed into a boa :lol:

Tomi'll leave your beer and fungo will morph into a garter snake:lol:

[tommymac]

At least make it a small garter snake so I can see if my kingsnake will eat it :lol:

Tom

Dont kingsnakes eat ANY other snake?

[rogue]

Tom

Have you actually seen a king eat a garter IRL? It's a war in the tank! :lol:

I fed my king a garter snake once. That was some entertainment right there, althoughI think watching him chase an anole was the best. :lol:

[tommymac]

Dont kingsnakes eat ANY other snake?

They are known to eat other snakes including rattlers. my mex mex is an adolescent and is prolly close to 2 ft so it needs to be a smaller garter for him to try. he doesnt have much of a feeding response though so I dont know how good he would do at constricting it.

now I want one of these for my other spare bedroom

Saw an indigo snake eat one a long time ago. I didnt know anyone with king cobras though becasue they eat them too. One guy I knew had a few monacleds and a red spitter but wasnt sure if they eat other snakes.

now I want one of these for my other spare bedroomwhen we going hunting? got plenty of them in the glades...probably more berms though, but i'm sure we can stumble across a retic or two

Dude, that IS a spare bedroom.

that's only about a 20 footer. you can fit two of those in a bedroom:lol:

if you come across an ambon island yellowhead could you ship him up here. Thats the bummer on LI all we have here are garter snakes, some lizzards that escaped from a pet store and painted and snapping turtles.

What could be funny down there is you may soon see a population of borneo bat eaters if the burms and retics start breeding.

Tom

[the chi]

Interesting...

Id love to have one, seriously looked into kings and possibly corn snakes. I like the harmless side of the corn snake. I cant have anything that would grow too much as I have a tiny dog and Id like to keep her.

But since most of my friends and family would refuse to come see me if I had a snake, well, I wont be getting one anytime soon. When I find someone I DONT want to come see me, I might rethink! :lol:

My cats and snakes earn their keep by keeping people away. Some ar eput off by rodents in the freezer. karens SIL doesnt like that my cats walk on the counters and he do nothing brother is extremeley allergic to them so when his soon to be ex wife throws him out again he cant come here to stay:dthumb:

Now if I can score a maneater type snake and not let the county know that will keep more people away.

As far as colubrids (corns kings milks ) I dont hink you can go wrong. Rogue disagrees but i realy like corn snakes and and are great starter snakes. very hearty, good prices and a lot of variations and they have good tempraments.

:lol: Thats awesome. Im pretty much the same with any "babies" I have. They live there, everyone else can deal. (Within reason)

I really like the corns, every one I have handled and worked with has been great and they do seem to have great temperaments. I cant do live feeds, I am a sucker for the mice, so a nice gentle corn would work great.

I like the more aggressive types too, but I am also a very cool person (to the touch), and while I have no problems handling them and letting them do their thing, my guy is one of those heat radiators that looks like "lunch" and he'd be none too pleased if our own snake kept trying to bite him.

The reactions I find are fascinating...I had a bf once that every time he walked by his roomies snake enclosure it would come unglued trying to get to him. He HATED it when I played with it, Id let it curl up on me and the moment he got too close, well, it woke up! :lol:

[askmrjesus]

Not my fucking bedroom. :lol:

No way I'm waking up to find out I have new snake-skin sleeping bag with teeth.

Most of the time I like mine.
that's how i am with mine...but usually its opposite for me

[tommymac]

I didn't say that colurbrids don't make good starter snakes or even excellent pets. They make a better starter snake than the finicky ball python that everyone loves, including me. :lol: I'm just not a colubrid person like some people (like me) aren't cat people.

Just like with dogs, different people like different breeds.

I really love pythons. Unfortunately the ones I REALLY like are over a grand. :panic:

Around here snakes and lawyers are thought to be one and the same. :lol:

We don't know anything about sharks! :lol:

there are a lot of those swimming off of LI

Rogue you kind of explained what i meant in your response. I know youre not a big fan of corns per se.

Which pythons are you interested in that are over 1k I am assuming its on eof the designer ball pythons.

Not just the ball pythons, but pythons in general. I love the pied variants and the Leucistics. Beautiful colorations. The calico retic is awesome in color too!

I like just about every morph of the retics. :D

"If" I were to purchase purely for color and pattern, I'd be at a loss at wear to start. :lol:

But I love just about any python. It's something about the face and the eyes on almost any of them that I love. :)

Oh, I finally rememebered the name of the retic you posted. Fluffy. :lol: The last I read about her was she was over 300 lbs and 20ft long and still growing! :panic:

Off to Bob Clarks page to drool over snakes I'll never own. Thanks, Tom! :lol:

Don't forget to take your possible neighbors into consideration. Seriously. Neighbors can make or break a nice place to stay.
