Coconut Picture Thread

Introducing my new BP - after months of getting everything set up - Coconut!!! She's a Cinnamon Butter Double Het Hypo/ Het G-Stripe (possible Enchi). Long story short, I'm absolutely in love with her. She is literally the calmest, most curious little baby I've ever seen. She hasn't balled up at all and she's always stretching out or moving around. One funny little thing is she really likes to rest her face on my nose and just leave it there, it's adorable.

Shayna is also very calm and curious. Has been since I got her at 200G. She's now about 4FT and 1500G (after fasting for 5 months until last weekend - she is normally about 1600G).

If I had a dollar for every time she feel asleep on me while I was holding her! She is so chill. One time she feel asleep in my palm. After about ten minutes, I had to move my hand, woke her, and she had the cutest yawn!

Anyway, congrats! Enjoy your beautiful new addition!

Wow, very pretty.

She has a metallic shimmer, like antique gold. So cool !!!

Congrats :)

I showed a picture to my Dad since Coconut is such an adorable name, and his response was: "Is she hiding all the time? Because maybe she's a bit coconut shy!"

Dad jokes :D Congrats on your little cutie!

So pretty. I love when they do the nose thing. Odyn does this as well as one of my snakes at work.

Such a lovely snake. Love her shimmer. I love it when they are so chill and easy to handle. I wish Miss Snow would chill a little. She has 3 modes when being handled.

1) Scared ball.
2) Defensive biting.
3) Run away.

My other 2 are super chill. Who knows if Miss snow will chill with handling. I hope so.

Lucy will slowly periscope up to my nose, lick it, and then recoil like she just tasted acid. I wonder if it's the heat from our noses that attracts them.

Her first time out of her hide!!! (To my knowledge, I'm not watching her 24/7)
She got a little spooked since my whole family ran in to look at her, the retreat was super cute too. I feel a bit bad but she does need to get used to our presence.

She will get used to it more. However, BP's are shy snakes and may prefer to hide when she see you (often anyway). Her first thought is going to be "protect myself," and then maybe, "okay, just family."

Don't take it personally! They do get braver as they get older, and it's really good she is so social and exploratory when out. However, she may not be particularly social until she is out and about and realizes you are not going to hurt her.

Awesome you are so excited with your new addition.

When you get chance get some fake silk/plastic plants or foliage from the local garden centre or poundshop / dollarshop .. They give the snakes a sense of security and enhance the general look of the enclosure ..https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0230078a7a.jpg

she's beautiful. congrats!

Coconut and American Tacos sound like a very good combo!

Coconut is absolutely beautiful!!! don't think i've ever seen a Cinny Lesser, and she looks amazing!

welcome home, little one! :aww:

Finally got her plants fully sanitized! Within hours she was out exploring :P I attempted feeding her F/T Tuesday night, but she didn't eat. I don't think she was fully acclimated - she's also been raised on live which I'm sure isn't helpful. I'm gonna try fresh kill this weekend as a transition and see how it goes. The stores around me have a policy against live feeder mice so they're $7 a piece and the nearest breeder is 40 minutes away :tears:

Don't sweat a missed feeding.

Try to leave her alone until she eats a few meals for you. Only take out if you have to clean, etc. Otherwise, let her be. That can help her de-stress and get comfortable.

I also wouldn't make any more changes to the tank until she has eaten a few times as well.

It can take them a little bit to switch to F/T. There are threads on her specifically about that.

It's also very important that you defrost properly, etc.

She looks really good though, so I wouldn't worry unless it becomes a pattern.

Good luck!

I'm starting to think she really likes posing for pictures... she's a natural born model.

Second attempt feeding thawed was successful! She struck in seconds and finished eating in no time.
