Yesss! You can see color variations & all. Plus, I just wanted to make sure everything came off in one piece.

That's a big possibility. lol

Ah, a Firefly! That does explain the brightness. Already a little charmer at 6 months old!

And LOL @Dianne, it sounds like most of yours also like to play hockey with the poor Acurite. At this point, as long as it isn't blocking anything and I can still read the display, I don't even bother setting it back in place and just let Iggy continue pushing it around. Whatever keeps him entertained ...

At this point I just flip the Acurite upright or turn it to face the front of the cage and hope for the best. :no: There are times the littlest ones move it halfway across the cage. I only have one per cage, mostly to track humidity and ambient temps. When drug directly under the rhp, kinda misses the point. All of my bp’s rearrange the hides as well...they’re never where I put them. lol

Haha! I also have just the one Acurite in the tub, for the same purpose. Fortunately, my boy is still small and his hides are on the heavier side, so he hasn't been able to shift those around much. Shayne, you are a lucky individual indeed, if you've got TWO Acurites in there and Monty is still gracious enough to leave them alone!

Yea, I’ve been told that it isn’t fair for me to have such an awesome snake for the 1st one I’ve ever owned.

Got him from a reptile expo. on Dec. 8th and when we got there, I told my wife I just need some time to interact one-on-one for about 20 min. to see if I can pick up on a “vibe”. 10 min. into handling Monty I knew he was meant for me. We weren’t there maybe 30 minutes. lol

That's probably just a touch of jealousy ....


I started with a 'normal' then progressed through to a Pastel , Mohave/Mojave , Lesser Platinum , Pastave then a pair of unrelated HC Albinos :)

Took me years to get to my Hi White Pied :)

There just weren't as many options or brilliant paint jobs around but if I was starting up today I'd probably have chosen the one you got !!

Wow! That’s an impressive collection! Are you a breeder?

Thanks! I do love my lil’ buddy. He grew on me instantly.

I love seeing a "love at first sight" pet story like yours! I definitely had a similar experience, though the reptile show I attended was in mid-October. I browsed from table to table for quite a while, and saw and handled several awesome snakes - but none of them "clicked" until Iggy was plopped into my hands, and immediately periscoped his little head up to look at me. Instantly smitten. Like you said, just the right vibe.

Na never been interested in breeding ( well not snakes anyway lol)
.
I see something beautiful and find a way of getting it .. in the past I had a nucleus of keepers and others that were bought cheap or small and were traded over the years .
I had 24 now I'm down to 7.
Snow Boa , the pair of Albino royals , the Hi White Pied , a King x Milk hybrid , my first Corn snake and a hatching Coastal King

I won't cram your thread with pics of mine , just my Pied which you may like ..https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...72797c7c77.jpg
