New Arrival

Looking good there!

You have excellent diversity in your collection.

You'll be a great asset when folks have questions about how different species stack up against one another.

Thanks! Sometimes I have whims of what species I get, but I think I'll mostly focus on BRBs and boa constrictors now, unless something else catches my eye. :P Still got a few on my wishlist....

Those two species are my favorites out of the species I've owned so far, though.

She's good! Growing rapidly as ever and steadily becoming messier. Her and the BP are my only messy snakes.

She'll probably be my only retic for awhile, but I'm enjoying her so far, she's the one that keeps me on my toes out of my little group.

Sanji is getting really big in the back of his head. Haha The rest of his head is becoming dwarfed. >.>

I opened his tub the other day and the first thing I noticed were those bulbous cheek muscles. (They're really squishy btw.)

Last I weighed Sanji he was 128 grams. I'd have to check when that was exactly but it was either when he went into shed about 3.5 weeks ago or it was before I fed him 2 days ago. I think it was the former, though. So, I'll be weighing him again once he clears out some poo.

After several weeks of 50-60F weather it was actually 75-77F today, so I tried to take some photos of him outside. Unfortunately, the sun made it absolutely impossible to see the screen so I couldn't tell if the camera was focused or not, and the sun was unbelievably hot so that didn't last long. I basically had to aim the camera at him and hope it focused on its own, and I did get a few good photos.

And some photos inside where I could see what I was doing, just without good lighting.

I thought he'd crawl around if I set him on the couch, and the blanket would do well to keep him from getting in the couch. I was wrong, he just kinda sat there once he got comfortable.

Sanji is looking great BSG. BRB's have really piqued my interest lately. I love their iridescence, colors and size. Is maintaining their high humidity requirements a bother? The recommended temp ranges seem pretty low which is nice.

Nope the humidity is really easy to achieve because they're currently in tubs, but mold growth in the bedding is a real bother. I've found a good balance in Sanji's tub, which I think is because the tub is big and tall, allowing the bedding to air out faster. Guin is going to be going into River's tub whenever my PVC arrives, so hopefully I'll have to deal with it a little less since River's is even bigger and taller than Sanji's.

At last weigh-in, he came in at 156 grams! He's currently in shed, and I expect him to be at least 10 grams lighter once he sheds.

Have some of his best ball python impressions. I swear these guys have an identity crisis.
