First BP just arrived Kingpin

Purchased from Stewart Reptiles, picked up her little female kingpin.

Expensive little cinnamon roll you are.

Awwe I love the picture with her head sticking around the back of the water tub. Gorgeous morph, I can't wait to breed my own.....and look forward to seeing this little one grow up. Have you named her?

Looks like she is already all setup in your new home ;)

Being that I'm a big Slayers fan, I decided to go with Filia. And since I finally got my color print cartridge in.

I'm really happy with that background, didn't want something flat color and generic fish tank. Found it on amazon.

She's definitely doing a thorough inspection of everything. I'll need to get some fake leaves or something to help fill out the cold side.

I hope so but I'm pretty sure she was just looking for a place to hide and didn't realize that she could go into either hide, since she was curled up behind the hot side one. As soon as I picked it up and put it over top of her she hasn't moved since.

I'll need to go pick up some smaller hides for her as well as some stuff to clutter up the rest of the tank.

And now the hardest part, leaving her be. Maybe a webcam would be a good investment so I can watch without annoying.

For a first, that is a nice BP. Welcome to the club.

Pretty sure she knew the nom shipment had arrived. Thanks rodentpro for taking almost 2 weeks to ship

Replaced the larger hides with two smaller ones. Noticed that she's been hanging out on the cool side for some reason so I double checked the hot side temps and they're sitting right at 89/90. Guess she's just happy being at 80.

Been trying to leave her be as much as possible but whenever I go in to fill up the humidifier she freezes and looks guilty. I know you're up to no good and there won't be no making trouble in this neighborhood little girl.

I was hoping to get some decent shots of her first feeding but she just wanted to eat in her room. Fine, be that way.

She is used to her privacy, I hate it too when people stare at me while I am eating :rofl:

Too bad for her I picked up a wireless webcam that sees in the dark so I can watch her without even being in the room or at home. :D

Took all of thirty seconds doing the zombie mouse dance outside of her hide for her to snatch it up.

This is the exact snake I wanted to buy but was up in the air kingpin jigsaw, jigsaw kingpin. Such a looker, great buy!

Real plus is that she's been very sweet so far. No hissing or even trying to be defensive.

I certainly think she's aware of the camera.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pstaftwcrb.png
Panned back to find her staring directly at it.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pslhewwrna.png
Then back to patrolling.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psgmr8wzsi.png

So far it's been nice just having to have something I can check on her with.

Love this webcam for watching her just do whatever snakes want to do when they aren't being watched.

Took her out for about 15 minutes just to hold and she ended up climbing up my sleeve into my shirt. Not good, too ticklish. Put her back in the tank and she ended up doing a nice little periscope.

Very nice! I'm always impressed with Deborah's snakes.

BPs drinking water fascinates me for some odd reason

First rat was pretty small so I gave her a larger one the other day that she took with minimal prompting although I did get her to come out a little bit.

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psw3on1vwy.jpg

Noticed she was doing a lot of climbing so I gave her free reign after she ripped the probe off it's tenuous hold against the side.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psdnyp0ltn.jpg

So she became a tree boa
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psoiqlgvfu.jpg

Once she released my hand she decided a cardboard tube was the safest place. At one time there was a chain of them.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pso1od5qfe.jpg

The tube picture is adorable^_^

Three for three. Caught her rampaging around and destroying that poor plant looking for the rat warming up in some water. Immediately turned to find it when I hemostated the rodent in and struck. Such a good little piggy.

Glad she is doing so good and eating well for you.

I'd say a great deal of it comes from the breeder getting her off to a great start. :gj:

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pszu6ocehp.jpg
Walked in to check on her and she froze as though I couldn't see her until I left the room.

Saturday night noms.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psmqo5m1pt.jpg
You wants? (She burrowed herself under her hide in her prowling to find where the rat was and was tossing it around)

http://youtu.be/6m0x42eNTyI

nice wrap

Wow, she wasted no time at all going for her meal. My Kingpin will stare her food down while I do the zombie rat dance for a solid minute before finally taking her strike.

I dunno, I think she wasted a little time with how she kept looking to my hand. Like she couldn't decide which would be tastier.

Setup a little temp hide next to my computer and she's been like this for some time. Considering a little pet bed to fill with stuff to burrow around in instead.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pspytl2cud.jpg

Always nice to see one of my snakes doing so good, can't wait to see her when she is a big girl. :gj:

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psrhwkqb48.jpg

Hey, don't be giving me the stink eye. I wasn't the one who threw her rat in the water dish then got it covered in substrate. It's your own damn fault you got all that stuck in your mouth.

Sup

Coming off a nice shed and with a full belly.

The face of a snake who just devastated her other hide with a monstrous poo.

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psxnulgaso.jpg

As close to the outside she's going to be for some time. (30 degrees out) was watching the sun rise.

Great choice! Looks amazing!:gj:

Thanks, she's very pretty but I'm hoping she'll grow out of being so skittish. Has never struck at me or even hissed but she really needs to learn how to relax.

Guess that looks comfortable. Clearly the bowl being advertise as untippable was a lie.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...psqkmsywvo.jpg

Had two smaller pups so I thought I'd see if she would do two being that she only got a small one last week. Answer was yes, after she remembered how to snake and swallow the first.

The "I'm ready for my rat now pose"
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...pscx6fr4vl.jpg

Missed out on some video last night when she decided to grab her rat by the backside and suck back into her hide. Rats front paw caught on the hide for but a moment before being sucked into the darkness.

Some nom footage.

http://youtu.be/DqP0CwQAAHg
Really not sure how I should feel that she's associating the hemostat directly with food rather than it being a bringer of food. First time she's been so aggressive about food.

New pictures update.

First time out on the grass.

Can't even see but she still wants her privacy.

she's coming along nicely :gj:

She is growing up very nicely :)

She is growing up nicely! I love me some pinstripes.

Wow she is gorgeous!

How adorable! I'm inspired to get one now!

Thanks for the comments. Lil chunky butt was very excited for her rat last night, so excited that she spent a good 10 minutes trying to eat it backwards until she realized she was being thwarted by a single leg. Such a majestic and brilliant predator.

I love kingpins! Your little girl is adorable!

I had to unfortunately leave for 9 days so she didn't get to have much food for a while. So when I got back she was rather excited.

Periscope noms

Freshly shed and not liking the sun one bit. Time for some food later on.
