Not all decisions are easy.

We have decided to sell our Bearded Dragon collection. This decision was not an easy one by far. We have been discussing this for quit afew months now. We started posted ads for them in the middle of August and hereit is September 16 and we only have two males left from our collection. We dohave some babies we hatched out this past season and as soon as they are readywe will post them as well. So keep am eye out. Funny thing is the enclosureswere the first thing to be sold but of course that person had to wait until wesold the dragons to receive them. Even thou having as many dragons as we didtook up a lot of time we are going to miss them all. We know they all went toreally good caring people.

    

 

  I (Jason) have always been a snake person. Nowdon?t get me wrong I love all herps. Snakes have always held a special place inmy heart. When I lived in my apartment every space I could fit a tank I did.Then I went threw a phase when I could not feed them rodent live, prekilled orfrozen thawed. I don?t know why all of a sudden it started to bother me somuch. I know it is part of nature but I just could not do it so I slowly gotrid of them.  Then we bought our house sonow have room in the basement to properly house Bearded Dragon I started buyingthem. They where great but every time we went to an expo I would have to lookat all of the different snakes and want them all. Then one day a friend of minehad a few Ball Pythons they could no longer care for any more so I volunteeredto take them. That was back in 5/08 and it was four Ball Pythons. Well thatopened the flood gates, AGAIN. Here we are one year later with over 40 BallPythons and a few Green Tree Pythons. I still am not crazy about feeding someof them live (that is all a few of them will take, just can?t get them on F/T)but they have to eat just like everything else. Feeding them F/T is so mucheasier and I wish I could get all of them to take it. Both Sue and I have optedto focus more on the snakes. She is really into her GTPs and that is great.There is nothing better then having your partner in life enjoy the same things that you enjoy.
