my new snakes... from Adam!

Oh ya baby, you heard that right... snakes with an s on the end. That means there's more than one!!!

So, let's start this post with some pics cause we all know

and everyone... please get a drool cloth so you don't fry your computer screens LOL (yes i'm just a little excited) :carrot:

we've been working on this deal with adam since early october and i've been dieing to share it with everyone (ya i did hint a few times) but until it was a final deal... i didn't want to start a thread. tonight we finally chose our last snake so... it a done deal!

okay so first... i guess i should start with my favorite snake of the whole bunch... you know what? i can't. i have four favorites heehee they all REALLY rocked my boat when i saw them!

so let's start with our new 100% het pied male:

next we have his new bride - 100% het pied female:

now... we are moving in the world of pastels... so hold onto your socks here folks...

this is our little lemon girl:

and her new groom (we marry them young LOL) - the one we've been waiting to finish shedding... here he is! VPI pastel male:

so there they are. we've named this last "little dude" and my daughter has named the female het "nutcracker" (nutty for short) because of the 'peanuts' down her back LOL

(permission given by adam to post these pics directly from his site)

nice! looks like you have some great clutches in your future from your new pairs! nutty looks nice and chunky. :P awesome colors on those pastels too--and from what i've seen watching my pastel (jack) grow up those vpi's hold their color quite nicely as they mature. :gj:

so when do those beauties head north?

adam has to get the CITIES done... inspections etc. (i really don't understand the process and he's handling it all for us)

and CITIES can take up to 12 weeks... so... i'm patient. heck i waited to post this thread for 6 weeks so i can wait a few more for them to come live in my house. at least i know they are being well taken care of in the meantime! :D

my dream... has come true. i got to order some snakes from adam! :wuv: i'm in heaven!

Awesome Aleesha!!! :carrot: Congrats on the future additions to your growing collection. Be sure to post pics of them once they arrive!

Here's a link about CITES (not CITIES) http://www.cites.org/eng/disc/what.shtml

Governments want to keep track of how many of each specific animal on the CITES is imported/exported to any countries participating in CITES. Since Adam is sending these snakes out of the country to Aleesha, they have to do all of this first.
