Clown Sib (66% het)

I want to say thanks to Christy & Fred for giving me the chance with this little girl. Some of you may remember her from here:

I fell in love with her from that pic and even more so when I saw her in person the first time. She has had a rough start. She has a duck bill and has yet to eat without help, hopefully I am up to the challenge and can get her to thrive. I snuck a couple quick pics of her before I got her all settled in. She shed on the way home so she is in fresh, shiny skin.

Without further ado, here is Daisy (yes, the kids helped to name her :P )

That's an awesome looking snake. I saw a het caramel, I think, in an ad that looked similar to this one.

Hope she starts feeding for you and she makes it.

Wow... she is awesome! I love her pattern. Good luck getting her to eat for you. It will be even more rewarding when she does start eating on her own!

Super hot animal, Ingrid! I don't see the duckbilling. In the second pic she definitely looks like she has a short head. I am sure you will do great with her!

She does have a short head for sure. Just a slight duck bill but enough that the girls got a kick out of calling her Daisy Duck- ahhh kids!

I am terrified that I won't be able to coax her along but if I am to be the kind of breeder I aspire to, I have to be able to handle more difficult situations. Even if she never becomes a breeder (which I highly doubt), she will be one of my favorites. She has a kick butt personality. She also has a profile of an angel with wings so I hope she has someone watching over her.

Good luck with the animal! It's real interesting looking, if the other siblings hadn't hatched out fine I would have guessed some kind of incubation malfunction..

I have the utmost confidence in you doing a great job with her!

Thanks, I appreciate it :D
Tried to give you rep points but I guess I have to spread it around first :P

That's one pretty snake.

Wow!!! Her pattern is crazy!!! :gj:

She's beautiful, I love that pattern!

Looks like a classic jungle ball. I hatched one out similar to that a few years ago and she's doing just fine now. The classic jungle look does not appear to be hereditary but they all look like really cool animals, you're lucky to find one like her. Congratulations.

:gj:

Today was feeding day for everyone. I threw in a hopper mouse but didn't really expect anything. Came back to check on her after awhile and...

SHE ATE!!!

Happy Dance, Happy Dance :banana: I didn't have to force feed her, try any tricks or anything! Yea!!! :banana:

She'll be fine ! More pics when she gets bigger! I'd be curious to see if those colors hold as an adult!

Awesome looking animal. Good luck with her.
