    Howdy!

    Hi,

    I'm a vet student in Iowa, and I have 2 dogs... as well as lots of other critters. Here's some pics, and I look forward to meeting everyone!

    This is Romeo, my Shar Pei/Lab mix...


    This is Sheila, my Boxer mix...


    My two cats, Angel and Satin


    My rats, Bleu, sugar and sweetie...


    My blood python, Nosy and I


    And I have 7 crested geckos...

    Wow, lots of pets, it must keep you pretty busy!  How do you manage to have both pet rats and a pet snake?  What do you feed your snake?[8|]  I like snakes, but I don't know if I could actually own one myself...
     
    Beautiful dogs!  Welcome to the forum.

    I actually have rats BECAUSE of the snakes... you get attached, then they become pets, the little buggers grow on you. I actually had to stop feeding live because I had too many pets, and I couldn't stand going to the pet store every week. I order frozen rats from a snake food supplier. It doesn't bother me at all to have both. Snakes gotta eat too!

    Lol, I see.  I used to work at a pet store, and people came in all the time to buy mice and rats for their snakes, but that's probably the main thing that would keep me from ever getting a snake.  I just don't know if I could ever get used to feeding live rats...although I guess frozen would be alright.  Like you said, snakes gotta eat too!

    Welcome to the forum! Wow, your geckos are so pretty!

    I like snakes, too, and am often telling folks how beneficial and important they are.

    Good for you that you made it to vet school. I wanted to do that but at the time there was only ONE vet school in my state and the competition was spawning student suicides. [:(] They have since opened up another school, thank God!

    Howdy to you.
     
    I used to have a friend, Lee, who had a Ball Python named Sulphur. Sulphur was an adoring sweetheart.
