Magic - GHI Lesser Progression

I picked my new boy up at the FedEx depot today. He came out of the box alert and curious. I think he looks much prettier than his sales photo.

He is just a little nugget at 148 grams.

He is currently roaming his temporary enclosure. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3700c1ba6a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...85aefb99e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0eae0ec81.jpg

He's beautiful!

Got a name for him yet?

Your photos of his coloring is much better than the other photo! Now the lesser gene shows nicely.

I named him Magic. My niece and nephew helped with the name.

Definatly. I think he is prettier than his sales photo. The dorsal marks match so it is the same snake. I also suspect he has shed a couple of times since that first photo. I'm excited to see how his colors change as he ages.

Beautiful new addition!

Double post

This is my similar snake.
I believe it is a Super GHI lesser pastel, possible lemonback.

Seems to be settling in. Hides during the day, cruises at night. I'm going to try to feed him Monday or Tuesdayhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f9aa66c20b.jpg

I adore his name! He's such a handsome boy and it's very nice to see him settling in!

No photos today, but the little nugget has finally taken a first meal for me and it is his rat and first frozen thawed!

The first couple attempts at feeding were refusals with defensive strikes. Unlike my other 2 BPs which were easy handlers and enthusiastic eaters from the get this little dude is much more skittish and nippy. It is interesting see to just how different their personalities can be.

Magic just shed, he shed clean with the exception of his head. I gave him a little soak it came right off. It has been real cold of late and the heat has been running a lot. I couldn't mist frequently enough. I can't wait until the end of his quarantine period and at which time I can put him in the rack.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...157ccb095b.jpg

This little guy is a punk. He currently won't feed on anything other than live mice and he is a snappy and defensive little pistol. Poised to strike or wadded up into a ball, there is no inbetween. It has been very different getting him going that it was for the other two that I own.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c961211e09.jpg

I'm finally starting to get somewhere with this kid. He has made the switch from mice to rats, and in the last 3 weeks is finally taking frozen thawed. At last. It only took 9 months.

He is still not the best handling snake of my group but he is slowly improving.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a87b58f2b3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9263cc9fec.jpg
