I currently have three snakes. I have two female ball pythons and a male California kingsnake. I have two Thayeri kingsnakes on order. The Thayeri is a kind of kingsnake native to Mexico. They don't become as big as most of the ones native to the United States, but they are pretty little animals and generally have great personalities. I also have a crested gecko that I believe is a female, but distinguishing the sexes is difficult until they reach full maturity.
My plan is to own at least one male ball python to breed to my females. Ideally, I might end up with three females and two males. That combination would allow me to practice some breeding. The two females are "normals" meaning that they have the typical markings of ball pythons found in the wild. Any future additions will likely be "morphs" which have mutations giving them a distinctly different appearance. Of course, I'd likely end up keeping one or two hatchlings over the years to develop some traits, but I'd mostly breed for the experience of having bred these snakes. I'd likely buy a second female thayeri to go with the male and female that I'm ordering. If I end up with two females and a male, I can do a little breeding of them. I might also try to find a female California kingsnake so that my male gets to breed occasionally as well. That plan would put me at ten snakes, and that's probably where I should stop.
In terms of lizards, I'll get a male crested gecko if my current gecko turns out to be a female. I'll do a little breeding of them just for fun. I've thought about getting a leopard gecko also, but I'm currently not as enthusiastic about that option.

Howdy.
I wonder how long it takes him to draw one of those...
What's swangin'?
Eh.....
Hello Phil.
Well, judging by the timing of the topic, and by the NY Post's Delonas Archives, he seems capable of one per day. Look below the current cartoon to delve into his works that for reasons known to himself are not chronicled on his website:

Your regular grocery store should have at least one brand of TVP crumbles. Try looking for Boca, Yves, Loma Linda or Morningstar Farms. I'm sure you can also find them in places like Whole Foods and Trader Joes.
The thing about Delonas is that his editorial cartoons are witty and funny at first glance, then I kind of get extra mileage from the details/scenery, which have a feedback effect on the first glance itself.
Yeah, I admire that about him. He paints in the corners.
I'm nowhere near as good as him and I can honestly say that if I did it every day it would be like working a full-time job. Throughout most of my time, it was twice a week.
Hello.
I mean, ya know...what's new?
Thanks for the ping
Lol I knew what you meant ;)
I did the presentation of my research paper yesterday. My professor flew out to hear the presentations for me and the other 3 girls from my school who came to DC. So I'm glad that's over. Plus he put more money on my Metro card so that was good :)
You steam it by putting it in a saucepan like when you boil condensed milk and you have to make sure the saucepan does not boil dry.
The microwave way will be much quicker though
I would think the tin you have is similar to this
It is a shame you have not got some English custard to go with it as that goes perfectly.
Sure thing.
Yeah, presentations can be tough. Although, I'm weird in that I actually like doing things like that. I enjoy public speaking and stuff...but that's just me.
I hate public speaking. But since there were only four of us, it wasn't that bad. Besides, I'm gonna have to get over my public speaking fear if I'm gonna stay in the DoD or get involved in politics.
Yes, I have the exact Treacle can you show. Doesn't the background look just like crushed pineapple!
I'll hunt for the Devon Custard.
So you open the can and just set it in CONDENSED MILK (!) in a sauce pan and simmer it, the can says 35 minutes. You're saying the condensed milk never touches the treacle? You must have to open the can right? Because otherwise it would burst?
