Todd, maybe you could post those photos and a description in the DIY section so anybody with humidity issues has another option? Just an idea :)

Today was Pandoras turn to come hang out with me, luckily I was able to snap a few photos and edit them so the flash glare wasn't so bad.

I think she's gorgeous. I was looking at those earlier and my husband goes "You are out of your damn mind if you think that you can bring a snake home, I am no snake person and will not allow one in my house so don't even think about it." I laughed so hard and said neither am I but she's still pretty.

Jess, I think maybe you need to get your husband into store that will let him interact with snake for a bit before you let him cop out like that! It took my daughter doing that to me before we wound up with them!

My mom had 2 ball pythons and he would not go near them if she had them out of the tank. He's one of those the best snake is a dead one kind of people.

Mr. Jess :coverlaugh:would change his mind if he met Pandora. She is a charmer, even for first timers like my brothers girlfriend.

My mother was the same way. Could not be in the same room as Drake, even in his enclosure. Took about 2yrs to break her of it. Constant trips to a store and after she stopped moving away every time I held a snake, I kinda sprung it on her. One day while holding a hatchling Burmese Python, just turned and said "hold him for me" then plopped him into her hands. By the time she realized what happened she was stuck lol

Oh and she eventually warmed up to them enough where she was looking into getting a ball Python. Though not everybody does get over the apprehension of snakes. If he really won't change his mind, be sure you stay around GU and you guys can always look at my pretty girl :D

He grew up in Las Vegas and hung out in the desert so I'm sure that's why he hates them. I'm not a big snake person, I'll look at them and hold other people's but I'd rather own lizards or tarantulas. Maybe I should get another mean tarantula next....

and would he b more open to a tarantula than a snake? Las Vegas certainly has it's share of venomous arachnids as well as snakes!

Well, since the three of us ventured into the "What next" discussion, I went by Petco today and couldn't resist stopping in to see the animals. Just so happens they had a Rose Hair for free adoption. This store is one of very few that accept animals from people that have no where else to take them.

Alas, fear of all arachnids was too strong and my wife adamantly refused to let me help the poor guy :( Also, I got to check out a fairly large Crested male. He fired up so beautifully that I wish he'd remained still so I could have taken a photo. He was another one you would have liked Jess, little frog butt guy lol

Todd, I have wanted an Asian Forest scorpion for some time now. Scorpions in general are probably my favorite exoskeletal animal :) I hope you are able to get yours sooner than I will be allowed to. Still no luck on getting to OSJL though, been a hectic day really.

They are a really neat scorpion. Since they are such moisture loving critters they should go well in a viv with some really cool orchids and maybe a small zaminkand. I'm not really in a rush to get some, what I have in mind for keeping them will be a good deal of work.

I love the frog-butt cresties! I bet he was pretty, a rose hair tarantula was the first one I ever had.

I don't like scorpions. I had one, an emperor actually, and it was mean as hell. After that one I said no on those guys.
