I paid $450 for her, she was 5 months when I got her... from KBK Reptiles out of Newburgh, NY.
Sunglows are fairly common now, so they're priced well.

I have no idea :)
I was hoping someone may know unless it’s simply impossible to tell by sight

I think it’s banded lavender cal king. Maybe you can do a separate thread and get some other input? When you purchased him what did the seller identify him as?

Looks like a king snake to me also. ;) I assume you're just asking, & not the new owner of it?

Re: Most Recent Snake Picture!
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...95720_orig.jpgThink this may be it? Listed as Lavender California Kingsnake. Added banded bc of the apparent patterning.Or yours being lavender albino noting the albinism in the eyes?

Titan (young Dumeril's Boa) looking cute and hanging out on his moss "lounge" while he waits patiently for his new PVC enclosure to arrive.
Titan was given to me by a friend who decided to focus her efforts on a Ball Python breeding project, and wanted to be sure that Titan went to a good home. These Boas have jumped in popularity in the last year or two and she was worried someone would get him that might not commit to him or give him the right care.
I have humidity hides in most of my snakes' enclosures, but some like Titan prefer an open container or upside down hide filled with damp sphagnum moss - a moss 'lounge'. Like many Dums, Titan is very serene and has a really sweet temperament, though he has quite an exuberant feeding response, lol. Luckily he's a smart guy and has responded well to target training, so he is quite clear on the difference between feeding time and not-feeding time. I'm grateful to have him and will be glad when I can get him into his new PVC, where he'll have more room, a basking shelf, and other improvements over his current tub.

Re: Most Recent Snake Picture!

I love using driftwood for snakes too- but just a caution- if there are ANY holes big enough that he can get part-way into, you should plug them up* so he doesn't get stuck trying to go through- snakes don't always know any better. If they do, it's very dangerous & difficult to extricate them safely & without injury, because their directional scales prevent them from backing up.
In the wild, they sometimes get stuck & die in things like "bird netting", while in captivity, it's sometimes happens with poorly-chosen "furnishings", like the holes in those "skulls" or other things that may look "cool" but are designed for tropical fish. In addition, I've found that since tropical fish do not snug themselves into cave-like spaces, many of these things (for fish) may also have razor-sharp edges left inside, & a snake can get seriously cut up accidentally.
*Corks match driftwood pretty well- I've used a cork, glued in with reptile-safe silicone sealant (designed for aquariums), but it depends on the size of the hole- even a piece of wood can be used.

Yes that concern was immediately apparent. I scrunched up news paper and packed every hole as tight as I could. I will double check of course.

Newspaper can get damp & compress, or just fall out. I'd plan a more permanent fix. Small holes, you can just use silicone seal by itself, but bear in mind that when it's applied too thick, it takes a long time to off-gas (lung-irritating, vinegar-like fumes) & completely dry, so if you use that, take it out for repairs.

Ok thank you so much for the advice

Even with that in mind a lot of typical fish decor is too ridiculously sharp since a number of species would like to hang out inside them the majority of the time. Some of them (like cories and plecos) are armored and would be more "resistant" to the pointy insides but even still. And for other species that don't have scales it's even worse, like loaches. I used to have clown loaches and their decor at the time wasn't the best curated stuff despite being "aquarium specific" so they'd often have scratches along their sides...
Yet another example of just because something is sold in a pet store, doesn't mean it's actually GOOD to use. Oxymoronic it may be, but thus is how our hobby tends to be. :rolleyes:

What about pet-safe expanding foam? I know a number of keepers use it for more intricate setups. Would still need to air it out of course but would probably be better to fill up holes with than silicone depending on how significant the holes are.

That's a good idea, from what I know about that foam- I've not personally used it for anything, & I'm not sure about the colors it may be available in (?) to blend in, but that's a good idea- I sure don't always think of everything- that's why I'm not the only one posting ideas here, lol.

It doesn't really come in colors, typically white. It's usually painted over after the fact.
idk what brands of foam and paint to use though, but it's the method I've seen a number of high-profile keepers like Serpa Design utilize.

That's all I've seen too, in white, so there must be some reptile-safe paints that work well on it- as some do very fancy backgrounds.

A "timelapse" series of pics taken over several hours demonstrating Zebes' behavior on most days. Morning through early afternoon he's balled up in the back of his favored tunnel, sound asleep. But as the day wears on he gradually creeps forward until he's nearly poking out of the entrance, waiting for the light to shut off for his evening foray.

Re: Most Recent Snake Picture!
Autumn, going into shed, she’s really dark right now. Excited to see how much she’s grown since her last shed and see her yellows pop again. She was just over 300g in February. Still a few months away from her 1st birthday. Not 100% sure of her morph, thinking Enchi fire vanilla or something. She was a rescue, and previous owner didn’t have any information. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f228f93003.jpg

Awesome! :bow: And what a snake to SEE! :love: What a beautiful viper- almost looks "lime green"?
I saw a snake in my back yard 2 days ago- just a 2' ribbon snake, but still a treat! :D We've been alternating between warmer & colder days- I was surprised to see her again, already this year.

Thanks Bogertophis, I couldn't believe my luck, was about 10 mins off a 3km hike thru the rainforest, I'd almost given up, even the guide didn't spot it, was on a branch on this trunkhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...78b513e678.jpg
