what herp gifts have you given?

[Lolita]

For me if you know someone is wanting a certain type of herp it's fun to surprise them with it like my sister she's been wanting firebelly toads so today i bought her 3 with setup as a surprise i have also got my boyfriend a green anole for our 6 month anniversary that i'll probably give him tomorrow cause he's been wanting one for a while what gifts have you given in the form of herps?

I got one of my teachers in highschool a baby Ball Python. Someone broke into his classroom and stole his big corn (it was later mysteriously returned)...so I got some friends together and we went shopping. The snake is like three years old and huge now. His temperament is also for s**t lol, but my teacher still likes him. It's been three years since I graduated and the note we left him about his new pet is still laminated onto the snake cage

[BurmeseJoe]

Well, he wanted one for 2 years at that point. I finally got my hands on one, and it was too big for him apparently. He was only looking for a baby, not a 5 and a half foot female. I figured that was better, she was almost breeding size. Had been slow grown and everything. lol.

lindsay thats awesome i really want a ball but i'd rather take in rescues at this point but thats cool what you did and burmesejoe that sucks so bad seems like he didn't know a good thing if it would've been me in that situation i would
ve been like yes

[BurmeseJoe]

I was sad, but, whatever. She was a great snake. She ate very well for a suri. And I tried doing that for one of my teachers, getting her a classroom pet, a ball I rescued, but, the principal got in the way. She didn't want anyone getting bit by it. I tried to explain it was more likely for me to bite kids then the snake did, especially since I was also throwing in a locking tank. I was even going to feed it every week, and take care of it completely. but nooooo. lol.

[BurmeseJoe]

by the way lolita, check the atlanta craigslist. So many ball pythons, and snake breeders. no breeders on craigslist. lol. quite a few.

[Lolita]

i would but i wanna rescue one for free i already have a setup and most people on cl wont ship

[BurmeseJoe]

When I do find, for free, every once in awhile you do, i'll pick it up. I don't mind to ship, if the temps are right. lol. If you don't mind getting a snake in a pillow case snake bag. (mickey mouse snake bags, I have loads of them) I can't take in rescues at this point, not for at least spring, at the earliest.
