Well I decided to do it, I'm not quite sure why but I did. I got two Colubrids from petsmart today.


One was a striped california king I have been calling ceaser. I really felt bonded with this one, it seemed to have a good demeanor and a little courage I guess. Went right in and hid.


The other is a Apricot Pueblan Milksnake "bullet" who is going into a shed I am pretty sure because it's eyes were blued over. In retrospect I wish I had checked to see if they were stuck eyecaps but they didn't seem thick. I bought it because I loved it's colors and I had done some research on them both last night. While "Ceaser" Seems kinda chill this snake is insane. Maybe it's just the stress of the car ride and the new home and the shedding. But this little one was striking at the cup, racing around and all around acting nutty. Still it seemed healthy, I spent awhile talking with the people and looking over the feeding records. It didn't feel like hiding, just semi burrowed in the back corner. I don't mind if it stays fiesty, I'm just curious how it will behave after the shed.


It'll be my first shed since I got back into snakes so I am more than abit nervous there. Pondered adding a humid hide but these are desert snakes with no real humidity requirement and it has a bowl it can soak in.


I'd like to get them both sexed after they settle in. And I hoped to have pictures but they turned out poorly and I really don't wanna drag them out again and get them riled up. So Pics of Ceaser after the Acclimation, and pics of Bullet after the shed and acclimation whichever is longest.


I covered the front glass with a trashbag, and covered up the back vents with plastic wrap. (Hot spot was like 80-82. Hoping to bump that up 3 or 4 degrees) And I bumped up the thermostat a tiny bit.


In the meantime I juuuuust uploaded another very terrible video. Watch at your own risk. I'll post it when it's up.
