Opinions on expanding

Ok I am sick of only having 1 snake and since I have just finished a second enclosure and scored some free glass for some more, I want to know people's opinions on what I should look at getting. Realise I am on a limited budget (no black-headeds, jungles, womas, green tree pythons, rough-scales or womgles ). I am open to anything not just snakes (includes lizards, scorpions, spiders, etc.) and hope I can get some ideas

So I have a 600mm x 450 mm x 450 mm enclosure.

A 1500 mm x 600 mm x 600 mm enclosure which I plan to put my female Darwin in (and maybe a boy for her, haven't decided to put them together or keep them seperate).

A 1200 mm x 750 mm x 750 mm I intend to make.

A 900 mm x 600 mm x 600 mm I intend to make.

I also have a 900 mm aquarium and two small 300 mm aquariums I might look at filling.

Well the potential is there. What should I get?

RE: Opinions on expanding

What is a good price for some jungle hatchlings tho? I haven't really taken notice but the ones at the local petshop are $1600 a pair of hatchies. Prices like that make me think, 'mmm maybe down the track a bit'.

Hi Skorpious, Have you checked the HerpTrader listings lately? A variety of prices for Jungles and other Pythons you may be interested in.

Cheers, Judy (aka HerpTrader)

Make sure you remember the orange helmet, and black cape with 'Milton the Amazing Flying Monkey' in silver glitter print on it. I assume you already have a catapult?

A stimmie or a coastal. I started out with a stimmie became addicted and had to get a coastal. I said I was only ever going to get 1 snake but looking for a third at the moment.

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

Get a pair of childrens or stimmies. They are relatively easy to breed and easy to sell. Then you can afford to get more snakes.
