    Oh, you do have a ball python somewhere in there. I didn't even notice the first few times I read through the list. How old/big is it?

    You guys are too funny! Yes, it keeps me busy and on my toes! But, I have found a way to incorporate professional training with a passion . . . so I do animal behavior/health. I get the best of both worlds!

    As for food, upkeep costs, etc. it's actually a pet shop. Most of the animals are for sale once they have reached a certain point with training (like the Alexandrine parrot). Everything here gets hands on training/handling on a daily basis. Many are bred here so as to insure their temperature/health. Other than the hamsters, comparatively we have VERY low numbers of other animals. Our breeding is very low (quantity) as I only want the very best. So knowing the animals/genetics/behaviors is of the utmost importance. Everything here is a pet foremost, and if a home cannot offer a 'family' then it doesn't go. . . sorry. The sales from supplies help to cover expenses. I also do LOTS of rescue work. So far I haven't had to turn down anything - hopefully I never will. And I live upstairs with the shop on the ground floor. It's really pretty awesome! We're pretty unique in our setup and the animal care/education we offer.

    Vincent, as for the ball python. . . yep, it's here. He/she is about a year and a half old and quite large. I would say probably adult length. Fat too. He was out today with me and helped feed/water the birds.

    At some point I will try to take some more pics of the kids here and show them sometime.
