You'll be getting ready for the abuse now then are you Mark?? I'd say you'd need 2 big, strong hounds to drag a decent sized stag down .. then your gonna need some set of balls to get involved in the tangle.

Nice 12 year old Glenfiddich Special Reserve ... only on special occasions though.
-
Thats a cracker that mate .. was a bit about them in CMW a few month ago now, was a good read!

Only one in every 7000 pumas are melanistic .. so we must have 100's of thousands of them running around the UK! My own opinion on the whole subject is alot of the ''big cats'' (a puma is a large cat and not actually classed as a big cat) is more likely to be kellas cats and other domestic hybrids. I'm not saying the'ye not out there and infact i kind of like the idea of them roaming the countryside, just saying I reckon 98% of sightings aren't actual large/big cats but rather dogs, big moggies or hybrids.

Now and again I breed not to often though, not always guaranteed homes for the baby reps. And not keen on selling them to the pet shop as they take the piss .. buy baby corns for 12-15 quid a time and then sell them on for £! Plus the 2 shops around here don't 'care' for them aswel as I'd like! About 2 months ago we were given 2 severely emancipated young royal pythons both had been kept in the shop for a few weeks and neither had ate and by the way they reacted when put infront of a water bowl I don't think they'd seen fresh water in days! One pulled through the smaller one unfortunately die

Ive got, 1 normal burmese, 1 albino burmese, 8 Royal Pythons, 18ish Corn Snakes, 2 Bosc monitors, 4 bearded dragons, 2 water dragons, 11 boas of various guises, a millipede thing, pair of hissing madagascan cockroaches and 2 imperial scorps also had 3 tarantulas but they've gone to the pet shop now... Aswel as keeping them we often get reps in from the local pet shop to get eating, nurse back to health!

Aint seen any for bout 2 years round here.

The Guv'nor is a cracking read, wouldnt say the Lenny wasa villian though. The Last God Father by Reg Mckay is a good read justy finished that , its about Arthur Thompson. Read both auto biographies by the Kray twins and the one they did together, they're ok. Freddie Foremans book was a good read as was Chris Lambrionou's. Few others woth a look are On the Cobbles and The Cage.

Prey drive is spot on ... my pup is only 5 months and just wants to get going, however he'll have to wait till after xmas! Been out past few nights walking him on the lamp get him used to being out and about, easy to train recall is spot on and retrival is getting there. He is from Mike Browns stuff, has Superblue and Sooty Sam in his lines. Both his parents worked fox ( pre ban of course) And seem to fair well on old charlie aswel as puss and rabbits. At first he was nervous but now he's just full of fun and badness, ok with kids, not keen on cars and objects to going in the boot sometimes

Cracking mate, just PM'd you lol! He's looking good! -
Congrats mate
-
Typical eh? Took the day off work, missing out on my double time! And Lowthers cancelled! .. Kinda expected it last night when the heavens opened! Oh well theres always next year!! Anyone there yesterday, much going on?
-
Leucistic .. or something along them lines by any chance DS, fairly common in royal pythons they appear albino but still retain normal eye colour. My understanding was albinism was caused due to the lack of melanim whereas leucism(spelling??) is caused by the lack of all skin pigmentation. Either way both these genetic defects boost the price of royal pythons from £50 .. to in the region of £700 - £1000
-
All the best mate!
-
Definately albino, as DS says pink eyes indicate lack of pigmentation, I've never seen a one but have seen some photo's , of which the colour wasn't to great on them anyways. The picture of the melanistic one in J.Darcys 'Now thats what i call terrierwork' also looks interesting, wonder how common albinism and melanism is in badgers. Also wonder in foxes aswel has anyone ever saw or even bagged a black fox?
-
Totally agree Gav .. cant stand f**king ice in my drink , you wouldn't put it in a pint of stella so why put it in my f**king westons it annoys me , if u hadn't guessed!
-
Not a stella fan, if i'm supping a relativtly strong premium i'd rather have a Kronenbourg ( got challenged by the manager of my gaff to drink 6 in an hour and i could have the 7th free, did 8 in 42 min's .. felt fine until i walked out the door and the cold air hit me .. collected my freebie the next morning still lol) anyway Kronenbourg or Peroni for me!
-
