I have been a subscriber to FML for a couple of weeks now. I have enjoyed
the reading the experiences of other people are owned buy the infamous
"carpet- sharks". The information I have gathered from all of you has been
greatly needed and appreicated. I must say that everyone here seems to be
the most generous kind hearted people I have seen in a long time.
I have what I think to be a unique situation in itself. I have recently
gotten a 1yr old sable male (mookie). I have had him about 3 weeks now. He
seems to have adjusted well to our home. He is very energetic and playful.
No dooking yet, but I feel that is just a matter of time. My SO and I are
even looking into adopting a friend for him at the local shelter. I read
that they were contagious I just didn't realize how contagious they really
were.
Now for the unique part of this situation. I have read several postings
where people believe that they have a zoo on thier hands. Try this one on
for size: 1 (soon to be 2) carpet-shark(s), 11 snakes, 3 hamsters, 2 mice, 2
gerbels, & 1 fish.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with having both snakes &
ferrets before? I know the obvious precautions to take, ie: keep them
apart. The snakes are kept in locked reptile cages. I was just wondering
if any one has any experiences/stories, good, bad, or other. That might
prepare me for any unforseen problems or situations. Thanks in advance for
any & all responses.
