the itch from an empty viv!

[Monkey]

It's kinda funny, since I upgraded my savannah to a 40 gallon, I now have an EMPTY viv again.... oh guess the itch to get a baby beardie. but a baby beardie will become a grown beardie and need another 40 gal, and then I have that empty viv again. I am SO contemplating hiding it in the garage to stop myself *lol* I think you all know the itch!

DO IT!!!!

I just finished construction on Clyde's new viv last night. Now I just have to get the lighting in and dress it up a bit and it will be ready for him to move in. I am already contemplating what to do with his empty 20 gallon once he's moved out! My fiance will probably disown me if I get another pet, but I want one so badly! I'd hopefully get something that wouldn't outgrow the 20 gallon long tank though. What can I get that would stay small enough to keep in there?

From what I understand there's a few kinds of snakes that would be ok in that. Maybe wrong, they might need 40's too...

lol you guys are not helping!!!!!!! not anywhere.. I will be broke raising my Savannah so I am not getting another one. sure i want to but I am not!! *lol*

 

[kimmie]

You all are BAD! :lol: I'd LOVE to have another one but I KNOW my hubby WOULD disown me! Plus I have NO idea where I'd put another viv and really, seriously - buying MORE bugs is just not an option!

I'll just live vicariously thru all of you instead!

You can always go catch something in the wild...

 

[kimbasmom]

I'm right there with you. Almost done with the big cage. I'll have an empty 20g-long and thinking "gee, what can I do with this." LOL! It's an addition, I swear!

Ah I understand this! If I had an empty tank, I would be searching all over for a reptile that could call it a comfortable home.
I believe that 20 gallons are perfect for leopard geckos. Tipped on its side, it could be a great crested gecko enclosure. I think a fire skink could get along in a 20 gallon too.

Every time I have an empty viv, my mom knows that I soon will have an idea on with what to fill it with! And she always says "well, if you pay for it and take care of them, then get whatever you want!" And when people say that I have too many pets, she will say what I say, "you only have too many if you dont take care of them all" And considering I take care of them all, she knows I dont have too many!

*I currently have an empty 30 gallon that will be filled with a corn snake soon!*

hahah whats bad is when you are already considering what you will get BEFORE you have the other viv lol! *yes thats me* we already knew we wanted another beardie but we had to find another viv lol, but i upgraded phoenix's viv and behold... an empty viv lol!!!! I'm not upgrading anyone ever lol!! i know i dont have the room and i think my hubs would disown me too lol!!!!

 

[Nasubi77]

lol, I know this feeling exactly!

I'm building a stacked viv and that will clear up 3 tanks :shock: My hubby says I HAVE to sell the tanks as soon as the beardies are in their new enclosures. I think I'll just move them to my parents' basement...you know, just in case.

10 gallon tanks seem to fall in my lap and I have 4 or 5 right now. Thankfully they aren't big enough to really do anything. Although I am thinking of a small colony of Madagascar hissers! :wink:

I have a bunch of 10 gallons as well. I actually have one that I am using as a mouse pad stand for my computer(hard to explain), lol. Most of them are dedicated for future crested gecko housing(I adore the little guys), but I might just pick up new little additions if I come across some.

So... I totally know how you all feel. xD
