Opinions on expanding

[Skorpious]

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?

fish and monkeys cant go wrong with fish and monkeys

 

[Skorpious]

[jimmy_the_kid]

You'll be right for a few years,there won't be any womgles coming out too soon hehehe

 

[BROWNS]

Nah seriously you should get some nice jungles!!!A nice b&g is better than a chondro any day....depending on what linewage you have :wink:

 

[Skorpious]

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'.

 

[Ricko]

maybe some childrens or another carpet?

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)

I dont have have any, but bearded dragons seem good, they have lots of character...also i think darwin pythons look good and r cheap,maybe even a nice diamond...good luck.

No, prices like that should make you think I wont buy from a Petshop

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'.

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.

 

[Skorpious]

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

Alright I am thinking either a pair of stimsons, spotted or childrens. Any recommendations?
Otherwise I am also thinking Murray Darlings and Bredli are nice.

 

[Greebo]

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

All the above snakes would be good. Now you have to find what is available and in your price range.

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

IMO Hatchling coastals and hatchling stimmies are cheap to buy. I am looking at breeding my stimmie next year if I can find a mate for it. If all goes well then I will get a BHP

 

[Guest]

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

yeah a BHP wud be cool. 2 wuud be better but!

 

[diamond_python]

RE: Re: RE: Opinions on expanding

Coastals or Childrens if a lower price is what you are after. A Diamond if you can afford a little more IMO

Either way, I am sure you will be happy with what you get..
