Yeh I'm really glad Lynx was my first snake, he's much the same, placid and don't bite...I got my second snake a week or two ago...shes a MD carpet, named her Indy...Her name before was Phoenix, and I like it, but I know a guy with that name, so yeh...

What about calling ur jungle Amazon??? lol...just a thought... I'm guna call mine Amazon...SUPPOSE to be getting it over easter, but yeh...Or maybe Karma if she bites, then you can say frick Karma's a bitch! when she bites LOL!!!:lol:

Oh, and I really like what you called your spotted, its awesome! Never thought of that, but I love it!

As soon as I found out you could actually keep reptiles I got my licence which was four years ago. I got my first reptile, a water python, 3 1/2 years ago. I spent ~1/2 a year researching what I wanted to get before buying anything.
