I finally got a BP today. He's over a year and he is an absolute sweetie.

He is a Honeybee and he's already very curious and sweet. He's curled around my wrist as I type this just hanging out. Guy at the expo says he eats like a trash can. :D

I need to settle on a name so if anyone has any ideas please let me know! He's already stolen my heart.

How about Bumble? You know.. 'cause "bee"? and also the not-so-bad abominable snowman in Rudolph that turns nice for some reason in the end? #snakestereotypes

He's gorgeous! I personally love how the white almost looks like honeycombs on the sides, hehe. Congratulations my friend and enjoy your new lil noodle!

Awe, he's beautiful! I just got a honeybee myself, they are absolutely amazing looking animals, congrats!

Gorgeous!

Here is how bad I am at suggesting names: The genus name for honeybees is Apis and I would name mine that if I had a honeybee morph.

Good looking snake! Congrats!

He's gorgeous! These names come to mind while looking at him:

-Graham (honey graham crackers)
-Theodore
-Atlas
-Watson
-Grant

I like to name my snakes with fantasy sounding names, as if they were dragons.
This one looks like an "Arrakis." (the planet from DUNE series)

We got him home safe and sound! He's in his enclosure exploring right now. Stretching out and sniffing all of the things in there. I'll post some pictures soon of him. I'm currently beat from the two-ish hour drive. He's also about to shed.

At just over a year old (hatched on September 6th of 16) he is already 32ish inches long. :D I think he's going to be a big fellow. Which I don't mind at all.

I also think I've settled on a name, Sir Phelix (just gonna call him Phelix most of the time, it's pronounced like Felix.)

So more pics to come soon of my handsome boy. <3

I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread!!! What an amazing boy, cool name you picked out too. Congrats and good luck!!

Just weighed Phelix and he's at about 261 grams! I think that's a good weight for him. I'm hoping so anyway.

Tomorrow I'll be purchasing a rat pup to feed him and hopefully he'll eat for me. I will say weighing him was a task! We had to put him in his snake bag much to his displeasure. But he took it well.

Ill lol be posting pics in the pic section soon! :D
