NWI INGO General Post Part 20 - Raccons 4 Life!

Racing the train is like playing the lottery.
Except...
If you win, you get NOTHING.
If you lose, you DIE.

I grew up in a rural area of Ohio and back In those days, there were a lot of unguarded railroad crossings. Collisions with fatalities were not uncommon but the majority of them were accidental with the victim(s) driving through the crossing without ever slowing or looking, similar to running a stop sign. Challenging a guarded crossing with flashing lights and gates down is a different story and just inexplicable to me.

She'll be on "hopper" mice when I pick her up, which is the mouse equivalent of a toddler. When she's full grown it will likely be medium to large rats(about a third to half a pound). It doesn't have to be live. It's cheaper to buy frozen ones in bulk and thaw them when it's time to feed.

Interesting, I never knew such a thing existed. I guess there is an industry for just about anything.

I know a few of the companies also breed rodents for lab use. It's a good way to get rid of excess "stock" and make a profit instead of just culling the unused ones and tossing them in an incinerator or whatever.

No it's a Jungle Carpet Python. She'll probably get about 6-7 ft.

My graphic artist's son runs an exotic reptile shop in Schererville. Are you familiar with his shop?

I'll find out the name. It's just south of 30 on east side of 41. I don't know what all he does, but I know he had various frogs and stuff.

Eh, they're cheap to maintain and not potentially dangerous like a Retic or Burmese would be.
