HI, As most of you may know, I have had a back problem for quite some time now. I had an operation earlier this year to help relieve the pain I was in, which was successful and has helped to relieve the pain but under certain conditions I still suffer from the pain.

I have tried to keep my sticks as long as possible but I am unable to do the walking about to get the food stuff without suffering in pain afterwards. It's been a great experience and one that I wouldn't

Last week I placed the full collection on eBay along with the 45x45x60 Exo Terra Terrarium.
The lucky winner was a guy from Liverpool who currently keeps phasmids and wanted to add to his collection.

As such, as from Saturday I will no longer have any phasmids. I'll still be hanging around here as it's one of the sites I like to read through while here at work. yes I am supposed to be working at this present moment in time.

I have, however, been thinking about getting a Corn Snake. Less bother to look after. But then again I wouldn't mind upgrading the GFX card in my comp too.

So I have been in a bit of a dilemma. For the past week or so I have been trying out various games to try and get back into a gaming frame of mind (not done a great deal on the comp game wise since getting the sticks), I only play World of Warcraft which doesn't warrant £80 being spent on it as it looks and plays fine on my current set-up, I've tried Crysis and Fallout 3 but don't know if they would keep my interest. long enough to make the £80 worth the spend.

I have till the end of the month as the Doncaster Herp show is on the 28th of June and I have been told it's a good place for cheap snakes and various other set-up bit's and bobs.

So I have 11 days to try and find a good attention grabbing game before I opt for the reptile.

I'm so sorry to hear you're still having the pains Rob, and it's sad to see you give up keeping sticks.

Personally I think a reptile or two would be a much wiser investment that a new gfx card ;)

Yeah, trying to get our lass to agree with that is proving harder than the choice of which one to get.

I cold flog everything I have currently got. (60x45x60 Exo terr terrarium, 30x30x45 Exo terrarium and the 48"x18"x18" tank plus mats and stats) and see what pennies I have and go for both.


just gotta go into rehab and give up ALL the remaining ova. :)

Taz, I've read lots of posts and advice on these forums to get me going with Phasmids, lots of it was from you. Thanks! I hope you stick around. Good luck with your new adventures with whatever you get. Those cornsnakes look great. Hmmm, maybe a Chameleon, or two :)

I'll still be browsing through the posts on here as I'm still fascinated by Phasmids.

Had to email the peeps that have bought the insects cos 2 hatchlings have arrived. I think they are Zompori's so at least they have some ova to look forwards to.
