      Once again, Wow....haven't updated in awhile. And i think I know why. When i first signed up for this web log, it was mostly to vent. I was really angry and upset all the time a few years ago. My life wasn't going that well either. If you even scroll back to the very first entries I made you'll see the difference of those compared to my newer ones. Anyways, let me talk about the main reason why everything has been so great...

   My boyfriend, Justin. He's been my best friend for over 7 years. And he's the one who has  helped me through many things in my life. He's One of a Kind. And I thank him more then anyone for helping me get to where I am today. Thank you Justin!

  Ok, enough of that. Let's talk about one of my favorite things...SNAKES!! During spring break, Justin took me down to San Diego for a reptile show. I was looking to buy another female hypo bci. Well, the show was very disappointing. I was looking to spend maybe $400-$500 on a snake plus a set up. I get there and there are there are only 2 rows of vendors and I was able to look at every table at that show in less than 7 min. And there was only one guy who even had any hypo boas. And he wanted $650 for one snake! He did have one for around $450, but it wsnt the nicest looking hypo ive seen. I also dont think the guy knew what he was talking about. He said that he cheaper one was from the orangetail line. He asked what type of hypo i had, and I said Salmon. He said " oh no, the orangetail line is not compatible with the salmon line ( I knew he was full of shit ). I think the guy just wanted me to buy the more expensive one. I have to admit, it was much nicer looking than the others. But I wasn't going to pay $650 for a snake( at least not now hehe, maybe later in life). I got him to bring the price down to $550. It was a lil more expensive as it was a salmon harlequin ( or at least, thats what he sold it to me as) but I wont know until I breed her in a few years. Only a baby.

   Also I forgot if I mentioned it or not, but I got another Brazilian rainbow boa. This one though, is a Bullseye, which ive been looking for for awhile now. she's not the nicest color, more like a dark brown, but I'm getting a really nice bright red male from Bryan Hummel of Rainbowboas.com. My plan is to breed my bullseye female with that male, and keep the nicest colored babies with the bullseye pattern for furture breeders. Along the line I hope to start producing bright red snakes with a clear bullseye patterns.

Thats all for now I guess....

 Wow! haven't updated in awhile...I don't even know where to start lol. Hmm...let's see..oh I know! I finally got my learners permit. In january lol. My dad is making it such a hassel to drive that I dont want to drive with him. You know when you're first learning to drive its supossed to be fun, right? well my dad is saying I have to pay $1300 to just practice in his car til i can get my license. I would pay that IF I had my own car, but just to practice? HELL NO!!! Also just the way he treates me, I really dont want to be around him. He also said I can't drive with my mom, only him. At first i thought I was skrewed, and that there was no way out. But then I went to the indoor swap meet by my house to help my lil brother cody buy an air soft gun. They only let you buy them if you're 18 or older so I showed them my permit as I.D. While I had it out, I took a real look at it for the first time ( only b/c I never had a reason to take it out ), well anyways...It said I could drive in the car with a licensed adult 18 or older! In drivers ed they told us it was 25 or older, but I forgot that i was the only adult in there lol. But what that means is I can drive with my boyfriend, justin. He's been teaching me to drive. I've only been out 2 times but it was a lot of fun.

    Well... I finally found a bullseye brazilian rainbow boa female, and im purchasing her this month. And in a few months Im getting a really nice BRIGHT red male rainbow boa with nice,big , orange cresents. I'll have my first real breeding project. See, this female has really nice bullseyes around her sides, but shes not the nicest color. she's actually really brown, but the male im getting is going to be the nicest rainbow boa I'll have. If I breed him with the female, some of the babies will be born with full bullseyes, and out of those babies will have somewhat ncer color than the female. So I'll keep some of the nicer babies to raise to adults and breed back to the parents, which will yield even nicer babies with bullseyes, and so on.... so yeah im really excited.

    Also my female hypo bci has been showing a few signs of aggression. She hasn't tried to bite but on 2 separate occassions, coincidently on days I was feeding her, she opened her mouth really wide and hissed really loudly. Now if she doesnt bite then its not a problem, but if she does...i might have to get rid of her. She's a great looking snake, but she also has the potenial of reaching a length of 8+ ft and weighing over 30lbs. So tell me now...would you want a snake that big to bite you? I did'nt think so. So I just have to watch her and make sure she doesnt bite. Well thats it for now....

Well i decided to post some pics of some of my new pets...

This is my new hypo female. she weighs a lil more than 1lb and is about 3 1/2 ft long. She's an early '05. She is also a lil timid but hasnt tried to snap at me or show any signs of aggression. she cost me about $275

And here is my new red phase iguana, named lava. he doesnt like to be held but i did just get him and have been handling him so i think all he needs is a lil time and more handling and he'll be fine.

I post some pics of my horned frog, dumpy, later...


Sunday, January 08, 2006

    Woah...havent updated in awhile...anyways I got 4 new pets. I have a big female hypo redtail, a red phase iguana named Lava, a horned frog ( pacman frog ) named Dumpy, and a mexican red knee tarantula ( spiderling ), so now im up to 14 animals, 8 snakes, 4 spiders, a frog and an iguana. Ill try to post pics when I get a new battery for my camera. Also I met a guy, named alex, who owns a reptile/fish store. I applied for a job there. anyways, he took my snakes to his vet to get treated for FREE!! yay!!

    For Christmas i went up to big bear with my family and Justin, to visit my grandpa. Everything went really well. The only thing is that there was no snow. But it did get really cold at night. Also we found a store that had the best spicy beef jerky i ever had.

    I was watching a show on tv and i got an idea. But I didnt know if it was a good idea or not. I wanted to ask justin about it but I was a lil embarrassed. But I finally decided to ask. I said something like " Justin..im a lil embarrassed to ask but...what would you think about us getting promise rings for each other?" He just gave me a warm smile and I knew that he was happy with the idea. So yeah we've decided to get each other rings. We already picked them out and I bought his already and hes almost done paying for mine. Our anniversery is the 22nd of this month. We are going to Roy's hawaiian fusion, and then we're giving our rings to each other there. We're both really excited. I have never been happier in my whole entire life. next time hes over im going to post the story of how we met and all the way up til today.

  3. Is cody, my lil brother, who helps me out with a lot of shit that goes on in my life
  4. 4th is Dr.Trudeau, for helping me look at my life in different ways and aking me feel better about myself.
  5. And for everyone who has helped me life get where it is today. My life in 2003 wasn't the greatest and I just wanted to say thanks for all the help people have given me and all the kindness people have showed to me. And one person I would really like to thank Is Ms. Lindy Mucci, for all the help she has given me over the years...she like my mom away from home.

And for all the others i may of forgotten...thank you
