Cleaned The Shop
criveraville:
Sorry NTD , on my phone typos are easier.. You have a reptile termometer.. How did the boas work for backings?
NTD:
Oh, the thermometer...I have too many cages now and use a Temp gun now to measure temps. Much better too because reptiles care more about surface temps than air temps anyway.
I've back one bow with a boa skin and it was nice. But I send most of my snake skins out in trades and stuff. That big one went to Oneeye. Although I have a special boa skin that I will be using for 2 bows I am making. One of those will be the trade bow and the other for Moi ;D they're gonna be matching bows ;)

Forget the shop, post more pictures of the "Kamikaze Kid"! That smile is priceless !
Pappy, I am the same way, I know where something is even though it is not visible, and I haven't used it in quite awhile. If I get a wild hair, and clean up, and start tossing stuff I have not used in a few years, within a week, I will suddenly have a need for that very object that I threw out! ::)

Ok. I see.. Thanks.. That boa skin sure is tough.. They are pretty skins. What type of snakes do you raise and do you bread them? I have 5 big reptile tanks and have considered doing that..
NTD:
I have Jungle Carpet pythons, Bredli pythons, super dwarf reticulated pythons, Various boas, and a group of rattlesnakes. I have a few odds and ends but those are the types I work with most. I also keep a pair of Gouldi Monitors and a trio of Ackie Monitors.
If you are considering raising snakes for skins it's not worth it cost to feed and house is far too high. I get most of my exotic skins from friends who are in the trade that have animals that die.
