My reptilian weekend.....with a twist.
So this weekend was a good reptile weekend here in NH. We had the reptile show in Manchester, where I live, so of course I dragged my wife down there to see what was there.
Her most famous words. NO MORE SNAKES!!!! 
The show was pretty good- LOTS of ball pythons, lots of froggies, spiders, some boas. NO burms to be had, anywhere. Nothing.
My wife- not a snake lover at all- fell in love with a couple of little sand boas. To help her get into the snake thing, we ended up getting her 3 little sand boas. Its a good start to getting her into the reptile thing, I thought!
So after drifting around the show for about an hour, and resisting picking up some beautiful snakes for me, we went to get my son. H elives about an hour away from me, and we figured that since he was a little old for an easter basket, we would go to NERD's retail outlet and maybe let him get something small.
We go to NERD, and ended up taking a tour of the breeding facility. All I could say was WOW.....Kevin has come a LONG way from the Chandler Ave condo!!!
I used to go there once in awhile to get stuff, and it was literally a condo in a condo complex FULL of reptiles. Kinda funny to see, but awesome. This new place is insane. We checked out a ton of awesome ball and boa projects, saw all sorts of other reptillian good ness, had a chance to see the venomous snakes out of cages (venom sacs are taken out of these) and all their great stuff. It was pretty cool standing in the room with a rattlers tail going crazy in a cage right at head level.
Needless to say, after 45 minutes up there, I was totally in reptile mode. I really wanted to get something, but resisted, kinda. He had a used 6'x3' cage for sale, so I grabbed that for when my boas get a little bigger.
Now, I was totally ready for my son to pick out something cool- maybe a ball python or something like that. My wife was with him looking around. They both decided we needed this to add to our menagerie.  |

Re: My reptilian weekend.....with a twist.
their breeding facility is awesome!
when I took a tour there earlier this year I didn't know at the time that their venomous animals were voids. now I feel kind of duped but it's my own fault for not asking when I was there being scared LOL
man I wish my husband would fall in love with something at the reptile show...these days he won't even attend with me! you're a lucky guy  |

Re: My reptilian weekend.....with a twist.
HAHA that's funny. In that picture it looks like the dog has no tail. That would be cool to take a tour of their facilities. Too far away...

Re: My reptilian weekend.....with a twist.
What a cute Chi!!! My kids are dying for one...but I have two dogs and really don't want any more. (Plus, my maltese feels she should be the only lap dog in our lives)
I wish the kids would ask for a reptile...
Do you have pics of the sand Boas? Please??

I would kill for a husband who loves reptiles as much as I do and would go with me to reptile shows! lol
