My babies have arrived!!!! (info and pictures)

[Ballpython2]

Today I got my two boas (form Jimisnakes.com go visit!!!).

One is male one is a female and they were both born on April 24th, 2008. So this month (not to the day) it would make them about 6 months old.

Information on the parents:

Dam: Salmon BCI

Sire: Kahl Strain Albino BCI

Kids Genetics:

Hypomelanistic (Salmon-Line)
100% Het Kahl strain Albino BCI

I have decided to name the male K.S.A. (Which stands for Kahl Strain Albino).

The female I’m going to name her Salmon which is what their mother is.

So both these babies are named after their parents. I usually wouldn’t name snakes but since they basically came with birth certificates how I could not name them lol.

On two note cards (one for each of them) Jimi (the great business man that sold me the snakes) wrote down when they shed and what/how many they were eating.
I think I’m going to continue doing this cause if I ever have any problems it will help me determine them right away or close enough in time.

The last food item K.S.A. (the male) ate on 8-27-08 was 1 F.T. FR. (which stands for frozen thawed fuzzy rat) so when I feed him in three to five days (which is Monday the 8th or after I make/receive and order from rodent pro.) I’ll give him one Hopper mouse.

The last food item Salmon ate on8-27-08 was 2 F.T. F.R. so in 3 – 5 days I’ll be giving her two hopper mice.

I’ll be decreasing the food item size they both ate last to something smaller because they are in a new environment so I want them to have an easier time getting the food down. Plus this is what Jimi said I should do lol.

Below are pictures of the birth certificates, the snakes them selves (K.S.A. is the darker one and Salmon is the lighter one), the bags they came in, and the bite K.S.A. gave me

Also, I forgot to mention that the female is actually in shed mode so that maybe the reason she isnt as nippy as her brother K.S.A. so she should be shedding soon probably within the month...

I just want to thank Jimi for being such a great business man and conducting business the proper way and thanks for the very healthy females. I will be doing business with you hopefully within the next two months or sooner for one more female. thanks a lot Jimi!!!!!!

Beautiful snakes!!!

I was going to comment on how terrific the personalities are of his snakes, but then I got to your last picture Ooops!!! I still beleive that his snakes are the most amazing laid back and 'nice' boas I have had the pleasure to own; and I'm sure the little love nibble was caused by the stress of shipping

Jimi does package his snakes very carefully and the 'birth certificate' and records for each snake are terrific and thorough!! Great guy to do business with

So, back to your beautiful boas: They are amazing and gorgeous and perfect!!!

Jimis Boas are beautiful! I got a pastel from him a few weeks ago (still need to get pics) He was great to deal with.

Wait until they have their first shed with you, their colors will be great!!!

Congrats! They look like cuties! =)

Thank you all for all the comments....I greatly appreciate them.

and yes to the person who said it was stressed from shipping Jimi said the same thing thats probably what it was and still might be.

And to the person who said they will be beautiful after their first shed with me; the female is currently in shed mode now so I can't wait to see how she looks.

And I have another (what I think is a BCI) that I had before these two came and she/he is a doll never bites,hisses or strikes.
He/she is also in shed mode now so i cant wait to see how they look also.

Again thanks for all the compliments appreciate them alot.
