My new arrivals!!

After what seemed like a VERY long wait, three of my new babies have arrived! They came from Justin Kobylka, whom you all know is a great guy - beautiful snakes and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Justin! :) Now on to the photos...

First there's Rosalind (Roz), 2008 0.1 100% het Albino

Then her boyfriend Orlando, a 2009 1.0 100% het Albino

I just LOVE his banded markings - hope they pass along to his offspring!

And finally little Don Pedro, a 2009 1.0 Mojave

Little bugger tried to bite me right after this picture... guess he's camera-shy, LOL

P.S. For those who didn't figure it out, I'm naming all of my BPs (except Delilah) after Shakespearean characters... as a librarian and former English lit major, that seemed like an appropriate theme. ;)

Nice additions! Your male het definitely is hot! Good Luck!

Thanks! While I'm in love with all three, surprisingly the male het wowed me the most... he looked great on Justin's website, but DAMMM he is even hotter in person. :bow:

Nice looking new additions!

I love his banding, he seems to have a bit of a reduced pattern too. Ass for the mojave, he is smokin, I can't wait to get mine next week.
I just love it when the fedex people come, its like christmas but a bazillion times better. The fedex man always brings gifts. Granted, I pay for them, but still. Always a treat.

Thank you! The het does appear to have a reduced pattern, and I think he & Roz will make some gorgeous offspring. :) He had a female (half?) sibling with similar patterns, and I almost picked her instead... but decided it was better to get the 2008, for both her size and the fact that she's unrelated to the boy.

Totally, LOL. I was so anxious I couldn't sleep, and kept checking their location on UPS tracking. I finally fell asleep for about 2 hours, and then woke up just before the delivery guy got here. Boy was I excited to see him! Now I'm going back to bed... ;)

very nice!

Congrats on your new additions! They all look fantastic!

wow that male het is HAWT

but that mojo is also very supa dupa

I always stay up so late following the tracking - it's just so exciting waiting for that package to arrive! Especially since I have to take the day off to receive packages (no snake deliveries to work).

Congrats on three beautiful animals!!!

So glad they arrived safe and sound for you! - looks like you have the perfect little homes for them too. You're right that male het has an incredible pattern! He seems to know it too... thinks he's too good to be held...

Great names!

Justin

I know, it was totally exciting to watch their progress... they made a LONG trip from Georgia to Illinois to Oakland, and finally San Francisco! But they didn't seem too stressed out, aside from Pedro's bite attempt - I think it was all talk, though. ;)

Thanks a million!! :) They seem pretty happy with their tubs, even though I have them stacked right now (still waiting for the rack). The hets have been resting in their hides all day, and the mojo has been cruising... he was switching off between hanging on the water dish & Acu-rite, but was finally (halfway) in his cave when I checked a minute ago.

LOL... does he have a little ego problem? :D He didn't seem to mind being held, but it was only for a few seconds before putting him in the tub. Pedro was the one who gave me attitude, and tried to strike as I was taking his picture - I think the flash scared him, if that's possible. Anyway, thanks again, and I can't wait to see how they grow!!

A few more pictures...

(I'll remove this unit when I get the rack - next week)

You can just see the attitude in this guy, LOL

Here's how I have them temporarily set up... using a heat lamp until I get the rack, b/c I'm afraid of messing with the flexwatt/helix. Temps are maintaining around 80-85, so I assume that's fine for a few days?

I just switched out the hatchling's hides, since I had to change their bedding anyway (they both splashed water everywhere). I got these RBI hides online, and thought they were too small when they arrived - but then I met the babies, and realized they're even smaller! :D They seem pretty content:
