I gave in...
So, after getting Cinnamon a month ago and telling the boyf no more snakes at the moment... We ended up buying two more snakes :D A guy on one of the facebook groups I stalk was selling a pastel girl and a caramel boy with a basically full viv set up for both of them for an EXTREMELY reasonable price... And so, this morning we set off on the 8-hour-round trip to pick up these two beauties :) Shout-out to the courier service of Dad- did the entire drive and lifting and carrying for £50 and a meal deal from Morrisons... :D:D:D
But anyway! I love this viv- the guy built it himself! The floors of each viv have a glass layer that holds the heat mat inbetween, which some of you might remember I was scratching my head about how to sort my old heat mats- if I use them again, that's exactly what I'll be doing! I just love these vivs...

And here are some terrible photos of the new babies lol- after being in a box for 5-ish hours they just wanted to get in their new homes :D
So this is the caramel boy! We're pretty sure that his name is Mars Bar lol... But the boyf can't decide if he likes his old name better or not :D He might end up like Wanda and have two names... Who knows! He's a bit of an adventerous boy... I opened their bags to check on them, and left them in the box and when I came back to put them away he was already out in the box! And he's been out exploring the viv. Here he is:

We've got them at the moment on a mix of aspen and coco husk (Maybe?) since the guy gave us what he had left but it wasn't enough to do both vivs.
But, here's the pastel girl. She's a bit more reserved, and stayed in a ball pretty much the entire time until we left them alone. Her name is Peaches :)

They're both such beautiful snakes, and I'm excited to have added them to the collection! We now have a total of four vivs in our bedroom... It might be time to take over the spare bedroom downstairs ;)

I'm so pleased with them... When I got up this morning Peaches had her head poking out so I got a quick picture:

And one of Mars Bar:

They're both so cute- they're about the same age as Wanda, same size too :) I honestly can't wait for these next few months to be up so I can be covered in all of my snake babies :D:D And compare Wanda the normal to Peaches the pastel to see the true colour difference!!

Thank you all :) Owning snakes is apparently like owning ferrets according my sister- you get one, then you get another, and somehow you end up with loads :D Quarantine feels like AGES and AGES but then again somehow we'e had Cinny for a month already, that time flew!!
