If you ever are looking to pair her up, I'd suggest Jeff Murray. He has some great annulateds!

Thanks I might looking into getting a male for her in the future. Right now she is only 2 so 3 more years to make a good decision on if I will breed her. However I feel that they are extremely rare and keeping a female with such a good blood line would be highly selfish. Being able to continue a strong bloodline and work with this species would be a great experience. Anywho without further adieu here she is.

She looks fantastic! Congrats.

Thanks! I'm going to try to feed her today since she hasn't had to much to eat recently. He was out of town for awhile and then only fed a small meal to get over the holiday break. Yesterday she was very interested in my fingers and today is my normal feeding day, figured can't hurt to try :)

She looks fantastic! You should definitely think about breeding in the future... I'd love to see more of these in hobby! I can never get enough of annulateds ever since seeing them in Costa Rica years ago - they are just something special imo.

At that size, a small meal every 5 days will work best to keep a steady growth until she is another year or so bigger and then spread out the meals.

Best of luck with her and be sure to keep photo updates coming!

Very Nice!! Huge congrats. She is amazing. Most be such a thrill to have such a wonderful and rare specimen in your collection. You without a doubt need a male for her. ;)

She's cool lookin', gratz on the pickup. :)

Aw, she's cute. :) Can you handle these snakes regularly or are they flighty?

I agree there is something amazing about them. I cannot wait till she is 6 feet long with that pattern, she is going to be a stunner. I have been looking for a very long time for one. I can't believe my luck in actually finding one.

She ate a small weaner mouse without any hesitation for me. I hope she hits a growth spurt soon. She looks so tiny for being two however I know they are slow growers. I will pull out the Cannon and take a few pictures in a few days once her food settles. Exciting to have something better than cell phone pictures.

You can handle them regularly and they rarely bite. From everything I have read they are extremely docile. She has been a great example so far. She was a bit interested in my fingers a little more than I would like, however after shipping and not eating I'm sure she was hungry. She just hung out in my hand and climbed up my arm.


Thanks everyone I'm very excited to have her. I have been looking for a very long time and I think with time I will pick up a male for her. I would love to raise the captive population of these wonderful snakes. :D

I managed to pull her out today for a few photos with the better camera. She was not happy at all to have the camera in her face, she even tried to snap at me! Her name is Lilo. My daughter wanted to name her coconuts since she is brown. I said no way lol She said fine Lilo from Lilo and Stitch since Hawaii is where coconuts come from and that is where the movie takes place. We agree if we purchase a male his name will be Stitch.

Not the best pictures ever since she was squirmy. Hopefully I can find a branch for her to climb on while I take photos next time.
