Our Little Patriot

Since it was only a few days before July 4th when we brought our little one home, we've finally settled on the name "Patriot", which our 9yo came up with. :salute: (Not to mention that the first 5 letters are the first 5 of my name too.) :P

We got Patriot via a Craigslist ad. It came with the tank, everything. Didn't have a UTH, though, (heck, it didn't even have a name) and still had shedding stuck to the rear third of its body. Once it warmed up, the shedding came off the next day. The prior owner thinks it's about 6 months old. I wish I knew more precisely how old it is. This is the first snake I/we have ever had, and this forum has helped us a lot. (Ignore the Petco dials; we've since added an Acu-Rite.)

These pictures have been taken over these past 2 weeks. I've kept them small since there are quite a few of them here. Thanks for looking! :)

First, staring contest with the hygrometer. Second, the underside.

What a cute little guy! I love the yawn pic! :rofl:

You got a pic of a perfect yawn and drinking, two rather hard ones to capture:) great pics and grats on the pickup:)

Thanks! I've probably taken close to 100 pictures of it in the 2 weeks it's been here. :)

Okay Patricia you seriously have to get that snake sexed so you can call it he or she. Heck pick one randomly if you like - it's not like the snake cares much anyways if you think it's a boy or girl snake LOL.

I love Patriot's name! What a cute name for a very cute little BP. :)

what a nice snake, love the yawning pic
