Selene has arrived...Banana Mojave
She is just stunning in person...even prettier than the breeder's photo. I am very pleased with her. A big "Thank You" to Dynasty Reptiles.
She's 431 grams and is currently settling in to her quarantine tub. Even after what I am sure was a less than smooth trip, she was very calm and inquisitive once out of the bag. I think she'll be a charming new addition to the crew. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a31082cd0f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6dd39cbbdd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...668ec08ee3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...35d489f29f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...46d216385a.jpg

Re: Selene has arrived...Banana Mojave
She was actually pretty funny when she started to uncoil...tongue flicking in every direction. You could almost see her going “what’s this, what’s that, what are you?” She rotated in 4-5 different directions from that one periscope position to taste her new surroundings. You can just see her tongue in that photo. Once she was in her tub she cruised through the two cardboard hides, over them, a lap around the tub and over the Acurite gauge. I’m pretty sure she’ll be one who regularly wrecks the cage. :D
She’s larger than I was expecting, so to me the tub is a bit small...I like to give my critters plenty of room to move around. My original game plan when I bought Sabrina off of CL (with tank) was to house her in the tank she came in and Selene would go into a small spare cage (2’x1’x1’) for the duration of her quarantine. Sabrina’s tank is one of those with a sliding lid...and exactly what Eli escaped from many years ago. Since they are both being quarantined in my reading room (lots of books and shelves), I did not want to play hide and seek with an escapee...I just do not trust those style tanks. So, initial plan was scrapped. Sabrina got the cage, and I went out to pick up a tub and uth for my first foray into using a tub...already had the thermostat. It’s a pretty simple setup, small uth on a Jumpstart thermostat, just enough room for two hides and a water bowl with a small bit of space left over. It’s temporary, and I know she’ll be fine...but I like to give my babies the best I can. :P

And an adorable "cage-wrecker" for sure! :snake: Can't blame her, it's gotta feel REALLY WEIRD being shipped. (the sci-fi movies where humans are abducted by
aliens come to mind...) I also take it as a healthy sign & a great attitude.
