Kerry, I had a few clutches of little montys, and some of the ones we call Jungles, bright yellow and black. I have one little female hatchling that is almost all yellow. I sell the majority of my animals to a wholesaler in Florida now, he pays top dollar, and I can send as much as I want. There are some things I have waiting lists for, and some friends take to the shows for me. I did one show this summer, it was nice to see everyone again, but I'm not up to the 4 or 5 a month anymore. I only have some very special select animals for sale right now. Most of my stuff is here, but some of the bigger snakes are at a friends place. I just don't have the room here for the Boas, the pythons may all end up over there. I go over there 2 or 3 times a week for a couple of hours to clean and feed. I'm going to have to e-mail Bob.

I did it in late winter. I used a sawsal, serrated knife, crow bar, anything handy because there were ones that were attached to mom, way far down below the soil line. I do this to my mother in laws plant once a year. She wants a neat looking plant. Sometimes I am forced to cut into her root system to get these babies out and the mama loves it. She goes to town with added growth and the babies are growing up all over town. I let the babies dry and develop a callous before planting. I have heard that some epsom salt in some water is a good fertilizer for them too. Here is a link that might be useful: separating sago palm pups

Thanks Lisa!! First thing I did this morning when I got up was to go to the window to see if they were at the box and they were! They were there for about an hour and a half when I had to take dd to school. They weren't there when I got back but showed back up again around 9:30, now I haven't seen them since. They had both been going in the box, once I saw them both go in the box together too which I figured was a good sign. I am not freaking out yet that they went somewhere else, well yes I am but I am not admitting it. LOL! I recall last year when we got a pair of Blues in mid June that they took forever to get settled. Last year I saw them on a Monday and then the female was MIA for the next five days however the male stayed around singing his heart out. Then the female showed back up and two days later started building a nest. So I am hoping they have chosen this box and right now are just relaxing a bit until they are ready to get down to business again. DOnna

It's actually funny that this thread popped up last week. I went through a similar situation myself. Saw some neighbors doing something - or I should say about to do something - very ill-advised, horticulturally speaking, and sent them a friendly email about it. Saying I couldn't help but notice and didn't want them to waste their money. I didn't even want to be so bold as to walk over there while they were outside. No need to invade someone's "personal space". But of course I saw this weekend that they did exactly what I told them not to do, a few days after getting the email which they acknowledged. I won't go into details but it involved planting a some shrubs. I mean, WTF? That guy who has 100+ blooming BLEs like rhododendrons and camellias in his garden? Couldn't possibly know anything about them! (actually similar to ilovemytree's situation, but with a plant less forgiving than lilacs and they were making even more mistakes) It's safe to assume these days that people are just going to be willfully stupid and that there's nothing you can do about it, unless they are close friends or family. And even then...
