Our Accidental find

After the loss of my babies :( (Orthia & Nimue back in July) I had been trying to decide when or if to get another snake. Both of them died from Liver failure. According to the vet they just couldn't handle the stresses of shipping and never recovered. :confused: :( We were all at a loss as to what to do next as we'd all become extremely fond of the girls.
Last weekend we went out and my Boyfriend thought it would be nice to stop at a pet store just to look. Well, we looked......and fell in love with this lovely baby that we've since named Tatsu Aeon. :sunny: Hope you all enjoy the pictures and rest assured she's been given a clean bill of health from the vet and has already eaten. :) (brought her home 9-1-07)
she's quite shy from lack of handling, but has a very sweet temperment.

Lovely caramel tones and some pretty orange blushing near her belly.

Quite the healthy eater since she settled in.

very pretty! glad you're having better luck with her!

Congrats on the new little snake. So sorry you lost the other two. Perhaps those with more import experience could comment but isn't that sort of liver failure seen in imported hatchlings due to them being not properly hydrated immediately after shipping?

From what I understand from the vet thats exactly what the problem was. By the time they got to me the damage had been done and there was little I could do for them. They seemed healthy enough when they first arrived aside from being stressed of course, but once the vet took a look at them it was a whole nother story. Already had Tatsu to a vet and she's in great health though so we are expecting a long happy life for her. :)

I remember reading your other post and feeling terrible. I am glad that you did'nt let that terrible situation turn you away from keeping another snake. They really are a joy to have which I am sure you will see as you and your new boy bond.

Good luck and post pictures from time to time.

Congrats on your new baby. Looks lovely.

Thank you, I could never turn away from having snakes. I adore them. Tatsu is just the sweetest girl and now that we have Gaia also things are wonderful. They just love eachother. It's great. :)

Congrats on the new happy bp! :)

Tatsu is simply lovely! Can't wait to see pics as she grows.

Are they housed together? I usually don't hear people say their snakes love each other unless they are housed together.

Tatsu is a lovely snake, congrats!
