Introducing my new jungle, Gimel!!! (Pics and Progress)

She arrived! She's adorable and so so tiny!!! Serpwidgets pegs her at 2ft 5in. She's 10months old, so that seems just about right, apparently she's been on "medium"(?) mice.
(bonus points to whomever deciphers her name)

Here's her measure pic

Looks like you have a future herper on your hands.:)

Nice looking little boa. And the size seems about right. Rango who will be 1 year old end of this month is about 30" and in shed now so he might be gain an inch. And he is eating adult mice. The places I buy from don't distinguish between small or large adults, its just hoppers, adults, jumbos.

Very nice! Glad to see she arrived safe and sound! Her saddles are clean. I like the heart shape in the one in her middle. Nice!

She's beautiful! I love the name-you won it all!!

Just to demystify for all my goy-friends...
Dreidel, the Chanukah spinning top of lore, is a gambling game played with chocolate coins or "gelt" - the 4 sides each indicate a different result for the spinner: SHIN means you must put 2 more coins into the pot, NUN means you neither win nor lose any gelt, HAY means you win half the pot, and GIMEL means you win the whole pot. - Now i was not planning on getting a Jewish snake, i was just waiting to find one that felt right, then i came across the picture below in her ad; look at the large saddle to the left, i saw that and instantly knew i'd found a winner!

Congrats on the handsome new addition D and way to bring in the next generation of reptile lovers. I like the symbolism/meaning in the name too.

Amazing when i actually break out a real camera, its not a good one, but its not a phone.

Science defying 3-way comparison video!!!
With movie magic i have assembled a video comparing Irwin the day i got him (as i foolishly offered him food) , 1 year later, and Gimel - be assured i broke no protocols of quarantine or the space-time continuum.

NOTE: i didn't plan to do this, it was just sort of a sudden idea cobbled together so sorry for the less than stelar quality
