Granted, I bought a new tank too. But still. They're fucking spoilt. They better be happy

I was just giving you an idea of what kinds of snakes are in this area. blufindr Posted at 2:11 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from dreamweaver at 9:07 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 5:03 am on Nov. 16, 2008 See if he can get a small python. Not only are they easier to manage, and very much cheaper, he can also find another home quite easily should he choose to not keep it. I don't know about Australia, but pythons are not natural in this area. More like copperheads, rattlers, and queen snakes. Yeah, pythons aren't indigenous to this part of Australia either. Urgh, poisonous snakes really aren't good to keep for a first-timer. dreamweaver Posted at 2:07 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 5:03 am on Nov. 16, 2008 See if he can get a small python.

And for some reason, he won't settle for something smaller for the time being. blufindr Posted at 1:57 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Lulz. They're actually very intelligent animals, and can become tame. You just have to try to get them young, some of the larger ones can be very strong. I know someone who's had her python grab her arm in a vice lock and refused to let go until it was fed. We used to have a carpet python, but the fucker escaped It was about 2m long, too. Soo dreamweaver Posted at 1:54 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Oh dear... my bf wants a python. I think he's crazy, personally. lol blufindr Posted at 1:42 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Hah, cool! I'm gonna try to get a water python sometime in the near future. Having my own ecosystem in my living room makes me feel like playing God, lulz. Plus I gotta put both tanks to use somehow Besides, I don't really care about making money. They're pretty, they're starting to develop very different personalities of their own, and it's cute watching them fight over food. dreamweaver Posted at 1:40 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Still take you more than a year before you start making money... *shrugs* Fish are fun to have though- not going to lie. I have my frog and fishes, myself. :) blufindr Posted at 1:38 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from dreamweaver at 8:32 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 But compared to how much you put into it already...? I can't see how that is making you money. I don't know how often Platies get pregnant or anything, but it would take quite some time to make back all that you've spent on them. BUT I can tell it's mainly a hobby, and that usually is worth it. 3 female platies + 2 male platies? That's about $500 every... 3 or 4 months? I also plan to do the same for guppies. No, not a business. But darn, it's fun. dreamweaver Posted at 1:32 am on Nov. 16, 2008 But compared to how much you put into it already...? I can't see how that is making you money.

New tank: $900 Food: roughly $50 Plants: $50 That's already $1000 Medication, water treatment, other chemicals: $100 Tank decorations to keep them happy: $100 Assorted invertebrates to keep the water quality good: $25 What's that, like $1250? The other $250 were spent on assorted crap, tank cleaners, nets, hoses and pipes and such. They're very, very spoilt fish.
