    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Where are they?

This is my first boa i now have 3 more amazon tree boas ill get pics soon. She's a san felipe sorry for the crappy pic.

I know, how about a tat party!! We can all meet and show off our tats!!! (And just to keep the snake content so's this thread don't get yanked, I'll bring one of my boas, since all I have to do to show off my tat is to remove my watch......)
 
Jenn, let's move this to my post over on the lonely hearts forum so the airspace here can be used for boas, what do you say?
 
I thought I would add to the thread regarding "where are they at"

Well locally I have 4 friends who all keep snakes, one has only 1, one other has 3, and the other has around 17. I personally have somewhere around 18 (gotta recount)

I also think alot of the reasons you don't "see" other snake keepers is that they keep it to themselves usually due to the branding of rude names and opinions. This area could be a fluke though since I can fairly easily find and contact 20+ snake keepers at any given time, and that is not with a herp society, just talking to friends.

Randy,
It must be nice to have that many people in your area(that isn't in a herp society) to be abel to talk to like that. Right now most of the big snake owners are scared to talk about them because of a stupid ordinance that is trying to be past.
But since i don't have many around my area i go and visit sites like this one. And talk to fellow "freaks";)
 
Jenn, what kind of ordinance? I would think if they could establish previous ownership, the ordinance might not apply to existing owners?
 
It would, but the catch is you can not get anymore. NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!
The ordanice is a ban on all snakes that would be longer than 6ft in length. Plus all hots. I think after our county board meeting on thursday it will not make it pass the second reading in two weeks. I posted a copy of the ordanice in the law section, but you'll have to dig to find it because it was early last month. (i think)
 
I read the proposed ordinance and then what everyone had to say; I do think you are right, that careful attention to what is going on is the only way to stop ordinances of this nature. Although I do in fact think there may be some validity to local city ordinances against big animals such as tigers and elephants, unless licensed.
 
I completely agree that some thing should be in place. I just don't think it should be done on ignorence(sp?) I mean a tiger should NOT be living in someones living room. But if they had permit to have it out on a farm or something like that. Plus most of the animals listed are already governed by the fed gov.
They would have to pry my boa out of my dead cold hands before i gave her up! After all she IS one of my kids. :D
 
ordinances lol

i have kept my big momma colombian boa, dark brown an red coloring mostly since she was a little over 2 years old and shes about 9 at the moment, as long as ive kept her and as many trials and tribulations as weve been through together i would keep her even though shes nothing really special as far as genes are concerned over any of the stripers or albinos or anerys or salmons that i currently have too
i am VERY partial to my big momma snake (Ruby) so i dont think ANY kind of ordinance would make me give her up without a fight
