    Where do you live??! Why so many snakes!

    all pet snakes in vivariams, just seemed that reptile enthusiasts were looking to move at the same time. they all seemed to have the sort of property i wanted at the time. i once got stuck in a pet shop when i saw a snake in a tank - i was looking at tropical fish and hadn't noticed it as it was the other side of the shop, once i noticed it i couldnt walk past it - i had to leave via the fire escape:o :o

    very embarrasing

    Im currently wondering what to do about our parrot when we put the house on the market. He has quite a big cage but it fits in very well with the house etc.

    But god can he be a noisy !!!!!! when he wants attention, can imagine the buyer loving that!!

    Dont really want him to have to go to my mums while we sell as Ill miss my baby!!

    I always thought that one of the top tips by estate agent to aid selling your house is to hide the pets! Take a look at picture 2:

    NO WAY is this house worth £275K, more like £175K :money:

    I'm amazed we've got this far and nobody has commented on the line drawing of one of the cast of Dallas on the back wall. What on earth was the estate agent thinking of, taking a photo like this!
  • we're putting our place on the market and wondering what to do with our hamster during viewings. He's been moved into the spare room rather than the living room, it's just a small cage sitting on a table. Are we best to try and move him out completely for viewings or will people ignore it? Provided he's cleaned regularly the cage doesn't smell and we can always have the window open for 5mins or spray some febreeze.
    Any thoughts?
