New expo pickups!

I just got back from the Herp World Expo in San Mateo (CA), and came home with two new babies - a female ghost motley and male anery bloodred. I had only planned to get one corn, but couldn't resist the deal... I negotiated a price of $75 for both snakes. Not bad, eh? They are now settled in fine, but the girl made a break for it less than an hour after getting home. :oops: I searched for about 15 minutes, before finding her squeezed behind one of my racks. Whew!! Anyway, here they are...

P.S. I've decided to name the girl Wednesday (after Addams Family), and the boy Roger (Jolly Roger - for the pirate-like skull on his head).

You did pick out some excellent little snakes Laura, kudos! They will be awesome to see them grow up and become big snakeys. I hope they eat like little pigs for you. :sweeet:

Yes, the females can easily reach 4-5ft, which is about the same length as a ball python... but they are much more slender than a BP, usually topping out around 600-700g for the females. Of course my old normal Dash is the exception, as she weighs a whopping 1078g. :O

Here's a photo of fat Dash, exercising on the stairs tonight... she's on a strict diet and exercise regimen, in an attempt to regain her girlish figure. :oops:

Congrats on the new pair!
