Pets, pets and more pets

When you cycle off road, you sometimes come across exotic creatures that cross your path. Wild boars is a common sight for most riders. I am sure many of you must have had experience these animals either running across your path or even running along you as they try to escape.

When we were cycling on one of the Wednesday night rides, Ah Chye who was leading the ride along a river path, stopped abruptly as this baby python was in his path. The baby python instead of slithering away, climbed up his bike!. It was more curious of us than we were of it.

One of the good things you learn while watching TV programes on snake is to recognise what snake is venomous and what snake is not. By the beautiful colour markings on it's body, I knew it was a python.

They knew I was into this kind of pets and I immediately decided to keep it.

It took only about a week before it allowed me to handle it. My girls are now expert snake handlers!

Speaking of python, a day before we went for Batu Pahat's Berani Ride on 18/7, the local bike shop had an unexpected guest which turned out to be a baby python, almost the same like mine.
The shop staffs kept it for awhile before releasing it as no one wanted to keep it.

I don't intend to keep it long as I did more research on it and found it is a reticulated python which just happens to be one of the largest python species around. Not good when it grows to more than 15 feet long. But it would make a nice belt though!

Some 2 months ago when our group cycled to Tampin hill, a scorpion happen to crawl across my path, not the first time though but I decided to catch this one instead.

It adapted itself rather quick and was eating crickets after a couple of days. Scorpio was feed regularly and was getting kinda of fat. I read some articles on rearing scorpion that they tend to become fat and lazy if there is no exercise. We also don't know if it was a male or female.

Last Thursday when I went to check on it, I noticed some white stuffs on the back. The scorpion is dark green, almost black. At first glance I thought it was dead or maybe had some kind of fungal infection.

Then upon closer inspection, I realised it was baby scorpions! Our scorpion is a female and a proud mama of ....the last count was 10 scorplings.
If you are interested to rear this exotic pet, do let me know coz I intend to sell the scorplings when they are bigger.

I also have these cute miniature pinschers for sale. Selling only the black and tan ones and they are all female. If you are looking for a good house pet with incredible hearing and alertness, these miniature pinscher breed is one of the best pedigree dogs to rear. They are small (eat less), short fur (does not dirty the house) and easy to train (intelligent). By the way, female dogs make better house dogs than male.

Please contact me if you are interested to get one. Almost giveaway price as I only want them to have a good home.

I am now hoping to come across a tarantula as I am cycling.
