New Pickup - 2012 Lemonblast

I just got this 2012 Lemonblast male from Corey (coreydelong here on the forums) at CD Constrictors. I got this boy in a trade. I've got plans for him to pair with my normal next season and then a mojave and bumblebee when they are mature enough. I've not decided on a name, but it'll be either Merlin or Napoleon (So when I pair him with my female, Tabitha, I can say Nappy/Tabs...if you know what I'm referring to, you've earned brownie points!). Below is the unboxing video and some photos outside since it was bright and sunny out. Also, this was my very first unboxing video, so I apologize if I sound nervous or ramble.

That would be my 0.1 dachshund, Lilly. I did not realize she was videobombing until I went to turn off the camera. She was like... "Whatcha doin? Can I help?" We also have a 1.0 dachshund...but he's super lazy and I'm sure he was sleeping in the house somewhere.

Yeah, I couldn't get many pictures because he was being shy. I would be shy too being in a box jostled around for 12 hours and then be suddenly in a new place and not in a rack. My QT room is mostly tanks since I don't have a need for an actual QT rack. I don't purchase a lot of animals at any given time and usually one is out of QT when another goes in. However, with a couple of new females being added before the end of the year, I may invest in a QT rack or make me a rack to put in there.

There's a rat tank below him and that seems to get him loosened up. Feeding day is tomorrow so there will be lots of rats in there.

Also, the little guy peed in the box. Silly boy! Must have been early in the trip since the paper towel was damp but the snake bag and newspaper were just barely moist.
