Hehe, you do have to keep an eye out for Esham, although he doesn't get free reign. He has one of those jaws that just clamps down; we haven't ever been bit by him, but he's gotten a hold of his leash before and that was a pain!
The snake was not exactly something I have always wanted! We took him in from a teenager who couldn't keep him anymore.. I don't know what his mother was thinking.. letting a teenager have a boa (who can live for years and get huge) when he can barely commit to school...
And no.. there are no decent pet stores in the area. I do most of my shopping online. I would prefer to spend money locally, but the only pet store here is a tiny shop and the lady there isn't always that helpful/nice...
Blaze is only 4, maybe 5 months old, so she is still a little girl! I would love to get another one sometime, a real pretty one would be cool, but finances are spread pretty thin with my spoiled fiance, my yarn habit, and all of the animals. I have fallen hard for this little girl.. so maybe in the future, I'd like to get another.
I don't really know a lot of people here... much less reptile folks! I used to party a lot before I left Texas, so once I settled in here, I kind of got boring!
