Here's a quick update on our boy...who turned out to most likely be a girl. The previous owner had said she was about 3 feet long. Well, once she was settled in for a little while, she set out to explore and stretched out diagonally across the tank, with her tail still partially curled up. I'd have to say she's a good 4.5 feet long. So her name is Vera, in keeping with our Firefly theme (we already have reptiles named Malcolm, Simon, and Jayne). My very handy hubby quickly made her a temporary melamine lid to go on her tank and help keep heat and moisture in. He's developed quite the fondness for her and is talking about making her a custom enclosure, once she's more settled in and comfortable here. She has seemed very calm today, so I'm happy to see that her prior agitation seems to be lessened.
