Kilowea

you were in Burnsville ? what on earth for ? LOL summers here can be hot or cold. same with winters. its a crazy state for weather prediction. nice people though. ( I hope my people were nice to you during your stay ! )

HI Kilowea ! Minnesota is a bit like Alaska. LOL Is a " chiweenie " dog what I think it is ? ( I have a mini piebald dachshund ) Nice to meet you ! Frogmom

Oh! I don't know if you saw but there are a couple people trying to put together a Herp Society up here. Hoping it makes it and I wish I could give more support but my schedule doesn't free up till the end of April to have time to do in depth volunteer work.

Yeah it is dark there are a couple employees there that do know reptiles though...unlike petco and petsmart both of which I have been given "expert advice" from their employees telling me that the care I've been giving my animals for years is torture and wrong. (ie. petco employee telling me I was a terrible person for feeding mice to my corn snakes when I should know that the only healthy food for them is crickets.) Anyways lol we really do need a better local alternative...I always get lots of positive attention when I take my boa out and about but most people would rather own smaller snakes I think. I can't find anyone in state that breeds retics or burmese and I only know a few boa owners. There used to be a guy 5 years ago that I knew but haven't heard from him in a couple years. lost contact with most of the reptile people up here when House of Critters closed and they stopped doing Reptile Rondy every year.

Our store here can be over priced or it can be reasonable. Kinda varies. Makes me want to open my own store....idk apparently corn snakes and random other species are all that people like.

We need a bigger network for sure. I went in to pet zoo, my complaint is that the whole place is just too dark and dirty

Are there any reptile shops up in anchorage at all? We are up here for the weekend and i was wanting to search a bit.
