Shipping nightmare has happy ending!

After a harrowing few days (https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ipping-stories), our new Dumeril's boa arrived safe and sound late this morning.

Guys, meet Memphis, named for her time stuck in FedEx purgatory, lol.

As soon as I learned about Dumeril's boas I was like, that is my spirit animal. [emoji4]

I am so excited to have her, and from what little I've seen of her this far, she seems absolutely amazing. Not skittish at all, very inquisitive and docile. Now here's to the long wait before I handle her again. Need to let her decompress from her long and stressful journey.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0532369329.jpg

OMG!!!! Stunning!!! Such a happy ending. I hope she settles and recovers well for you

She's beautiful congrats!!! I love Dumerils', definitely way up there on my list and most likely my next snake. So glad she arrived and is ok. Enjoy the waiting that follows lol, it can be brutal but worth it!

Awesome! I like happy endings.

Yay!! I was following this on the FB board too, I was livid on your behalf at what you went thru. I would have been a nervous WRECK!

I am so happy Memphis is ok. What a beauty she is!

Very beautiful indeed...so glad she's safe in your hands now!

Congrats on you new little beauty! Memphis is fitting name. :)

Thanks everyone! Hopefully I'll have some better photos after she settles in and eats a couple times. The picture really doesn't do her justice. :)

I’m a python fanatic, but that is a very Nice looking Boa.
Enjoy!

Had Memphis out briefly today while we changed her bedding. I'm finding it's more difficult to get a good photo when she doesn't naturally ball up, lol.

She also ate a F/T rat pup for us on the first try tonight! Woot! She was on live previously, and I've heard how finicky young Dum's can be, so I'm feeling pretty excited, especially given her crazy week!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa62c621fa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9bbbf5a273.jpg

She looks exceptional !!!

amazing news on the feeding !!!

my boy just shed and looks wild.

I camt wait to see her after Your first shed!!

I think Dumerils are one of my all time favorites, hands down!

Thanks guys! We're 3/3 on F/T rat pups so far, and she seemed much more eager to eat this last feed - took it instantly vs. her taking several minutes to strike.

As of today she's up to 198 gm compared to 155 on 5/13. :)

She actually had her first shed with us a couple of weeks ago, and it was perfect, all in one piece.

Here are a couple of shots from her today. My phone really doesn't do her justice. The pinks on her neck are really coming out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...976b15a98d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...837ccf00e9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b86c410eb3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...083453973a.jpg
