The Latest Obsession...
Ball Pythons!
In my quest to learn more about Pacman frogs and how to properly care for the Ornate Box Turtle I've had since grammar school (there's another story there), I came across loads of snakes, but the Ball Python caught my eye. They're supposed to be easy to care for, friendly (for a snake), and relatively low maintenance. I even think they're somewhat cute. So yeah, been obessing over this, even to the point where my Aunt asked my girlfriend if I had bought one and was keeping it without her knowledge. Hasn't gotten that bad just yet, but I have been pricing setups and looking for places to actually buy a python (I've found two really cool pet stores as a result).
The Pacman Frog thing has kind of been set to the side.
As for my turtle, Tortuga, I've had the bugger for a looooooong time, but since I started doing more in-depth research on reptiles, I found out that I wasn't taking the best care of the poor little guy. I had been feeding him veggies and dry turtle food, but learned that his breed is particularly carnivorous, and they need more meat in their diet. This has led to the sacrafice of several goldfish, mice and worms, but he seems a lot more healthy.
