He Has Arived!!!

What can I say, Im in love! I didnt expect what I was about to see when I opened that box from NERD. What a powerful and gorgeous looking animal Kara sent me. After letting him get room temp (82) for biu 45 min. I opened his container and gently pet him to let him know I was there, that toung started flicking he was so alert and calm at the same time. I gently picked him up and to my suprise he had to be about 20 inches and thicker than I could have imagined from the pics Kara sent us. He accepted my handling like an ace. I wholeheartedly recomend anybody thinking of another snake to consider a short tail from Kara you will get more than you pay for!!

Sounds SO awesome, Paul!! Can't wait to see more pictures of him!

What does your wife think of this snake that you paid so much money for??? :D

Congratulations, Paul! I hope the delivery guy recovers well from the tackling he got. ;) I'm definitely looking forward to seeing and hearing more of your little guy, including his name. :)

Judy: The wife TRYS to be indifferent, she doesnt wnat to encourage me hehe, but when she saw him she could not hide the expression of aww on her face LOL.She didnt expect him to be so............impressive!

Marla: His name, now that one Ive been wrestling with and Im still not sure ideas are welcome although Im tossing 2 names around right now, Ill have to observe this guy a little first, Rid**** (vin deisels character from pitch black) is one Im thinking of, cause my man is so...................tough lookin.

Congrats Paul! I can't wait to see more pics of the lil guy. :D :D :D

Cool, Paul. I am sure you'll settle on something that suits him. And it's great that your wife is interested. She might even come to like the lil guy. :)

Congrats beagles! Get those pics rolling as soon as possible :D

This is a perfect example of quotation marks or the lack there of changing the meaning of a scentence.IT makes it seem as though i dont want ideas for a name,what I should have written is

now thats one Ive been wrestling with,and Im still not sure,ideas ARE welcome,although Im tossing 2 names around right now.

Sorry I sounded otherwise , please if you guys have any ideas for cool names send em my way.

Longfellow....get it :wink: I stink at names :roll:

Glad he got there safe & sound, and that you're so happy with him!!! :) :)

For names, check this out:

http://www.homepagers.com/general/gen1.htm

It's a baby name database. If you want to find names that "mean" a certain thing, on the drop-down menu next to the word "Index" (to the right of the search bar), change the setting to "meaning" and put the word in the search bar that you want to look for. (let me know if that doesn't make sense)

Stanley is a nice name.

OK, more for an old man than a stp. :) I think he looks like a Vlad. Alternatively, I think Judge would be a fine name for him.

How about Albert (as in fat albert)? Thick snakes need thick names.

Gordo (spanish = large/fat)
Ganesh

. . . damn now I'm dried up on names :P

He's not an elephant! He's just a stocky snake. I still like Vlad. :)

How about Nosferatu?

Also, you may want to get to know him for a week or so prior to naming him. Give yourself a chance to really see the different facets of his personality - a name may come to mind that suits him perfectly once you get to know him.

LOL! My boyfriend used to be in a band called Longfellow. Obviously, they stunk at names too.

little more appropriate than my dad's old band : "The Noctournal Emissions"

ROFLMAO!

Vlad rocks!

Go with Vlad!
