(another year and a half until RRS is a possibility... not that i'm counting lol).

thanks! :D

it's up to you! my personal tastes align more with the rat snakes and garters... and i don't plan on getting more than 1 of each species... the only exception being garter snakes, but they're more social snakes. pick whichever snake makes you happiest! :3

kenyan sand boas are so cute and tiny!!! aahh! both are super duper cute choices. SDA recently got a ksb and has some threads in the boa forum showing him off. only thing is you'd have two burrowing snakes with a ksb, or a burrower and a hider with a bp. hence why i'm going more display snake further down the line XD. i kind of want to see them during the day :p. still, personal preference.

i can't wait to see pictures of your kiddo when you get them!!

First off, I'm going to show everyone how I'm currently keeping Maze's records. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep doing it this way, especially as I get more reptiles in the future, but for now this is what works for me: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Probably would have been easier just to use a calendar, but I wanted all the info right there in a visual manner, since I find that more helpful than lists.

Maze ate her third rat pup on Friday! Super proud of this growing girl. Here she is, lying in wait for her meal:

(that doesn't look comfortable)

For some reason she decided that gravity isn't her friend and..... dangled it..... and swallowed down??? Silly snake. Gravity can HELP, if you let it.... lol.

??????? Okay. Whatever, Maze. I have a 4-minute video of her swallowing it next, because I find that kind of thing super interesting. Probably a morbid kind of fascination, but I also find the faces she makes while she's trying to work her face around her meal to be pretty dang hilarious.

She’s looking better all the time! Contrary to popular opinion, I think they get better with age! That’s part of why I like progression threads.

Thanks!

Oh, I know! She was so tiny not 6 months ago, and now she's quite literally 5 times the size. And someday her entire width will cover the palm of my hand! Crazy to think about. Can't wait for her to be my little monster girl :').

starscream out here making me wish i got a BP.. shhhh
