New Member of the Family! :)

I went to the Atlanta Reptile Show at the Gwinnett Civic Center today (November 20). I was originally going to buy a milksnake, possibly Mexican, but then I got something else instead.... An Albino Californian Kingsnake! :) :) :) :) :)
I got it for $25, and I am going to try feeding it pinkie mice on Wednesdays and Sundays. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl for sure yet, but I believe it is a boy.
I am really happy because the person that I bought the snake from had a normal Californian kingsnake for the same price. I figured, why buy something normal when you can get something better for the same price? :wink:

Congrats! :D I wondered which one of you were going to bring home something ;)

mom was upset because there weren't many crested geckos there.

I imagine you will let your new little one settle in for a while, but i'm looking forward to some pics :)

I am going to take some as soon as I can. My mom said not to take them right now though. I have it in a sterilite container with plenty of holes in the lid, and newspaper underneath some sphagnum peat moss, and he has a paper box hide that my sister made with oragami, and a haly of a metal barbie egg.

I went too! I got a Leopard Gecko!

Just in case anyone doesn't read typoese, that would be a hide made from "half" a metal Barbie egg. ;) He's a cute little booger, mostly yellow, with a pink crown on his head (he *is* a king, after all ;) ).

Congrats!!

lol.. mine has a yellow smiley face on his head. It's ironic since he's such a brat.

Cute lil sucker!

I fed him sunday night and he ate without a problem.

The poll has ended and the results are in!
My new snake's name is going to be Fido. Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll.

very cute! We almost bought an albino, but opted for a pair of desert phase cali kings (het for albino though). He sure is purty!!
