Gomez has arrived! Dial-up warning!

Gomez, born 5/14/05 to Mischka and Badgley of Glass Reptiles, is now home safe and sound with his adoptive family. /(^v^)\ :love::hug::love:

The same delivery woman who brought us Falkor arrived with yet another precious package this morning. I fussed a *lot* with the temps in his cage, and still keep checking them, lol. Gomez is very disoriented and a bit chilly from his trip, but is settling in nicely already. He took a minute or two to warm up, and is now exploring every inch of his new home! It was hard to tear myself away! Cleo is sitting on the bed, staring at his enclosure like "Whoa, whats all this then!" He is... SO cute! And a chubby little guy!

Sorry about the fuzziness of the pics, my camera is on crack and has focus problems. First he sat in my hand warming up while I obsessed/fussed over his enclosure temp a bit more. Snakes always dig my watch, lol.

Then I set him in, and he got exploring which he's been doing ever since! I'm a little worried those hides might be a bit big for him, but I'll get him something better soon. The bowl is a hand-me-down from Cleo, and the skull... well, it's just a fancy shed-aid. ;) He seems to think it feels cool, he's been exploring that the most but I couldn't really get good pics through the plastic and I'm trying to let him be... trying REALLY HARD. :P

I am... SO delighted right now. :D Our very first BP, and I love him to bits! Thank you SO much Jamie and Jo!

Our cat is completely wigged too. She has a great view of him exploring from the bed, and is very "OMG! WTF is that??" lol!

Such a cute little thing - lovely to watch him exploring his new home :) It's so hard, isn't it, keeping your hands off them for that settling in period - I sooo hated it I was itching to cuddle.

I've been waiting for his pictures! LOL. He's a very handsome boy! What is the substrate you're using? Desert Snow?

He's a super cute little fatty!

Carefresh Ultra. :) I use it for everybody -the birds, the rabbits, the Gomez- except for Falkor because he's a brat and my cat because... she's a cat. lol /(^v^)\

Must... resist... cuddles.... So cuddly... :crazy:

Yeah the hides look a bit big, but otherwise it's a nice looking setup, and not too much open space. :clap: Congrats on getting him, that just worked out so perfectly. :D

(You could always cut them down the middle and have 4 hides in there, just a thought)

Congrats on the new bp...lookin good :D Glad to see that I am not the only one that got new snakes today ;)

What did you get today?????????

Wow he is a good looking one!! :) I was getting nervous that I hadn't heard from you even though it showed delivered to you. But, I figured you would have called if there was an issue. Glad he is settling in and doing well! Call me if you need anything at all!

Excellent idea! He's hiding right now, but I'll try cutting them later just before we try his first meal over here. :) I don't want to disturb him too much yet since he's just settling in.

Dude, I e-mailed you twice! I knew I should have called instead of e-mailed, lol. Sorry! I swear I wrote you right after he arrived! I think it redirected to your glassreptiles e-mails instead of your gmail, that might be the issue. Bwah! I tried though! He's doing just fine :D I'll try e-mailing you after we try his first meal over here to let you know how he does.

If only my name was Jaime and not Jamie! muahahaha...A lot of thanks goes to my fiance for her first solo shipping of a snake. I wrote the instructions and followed up but she got it done!

Bwah! Why do I keep spelling your name that way? It's like a mental defect with me :slamhead: Seriously, I know how to spell Jamie, Jamie, I'm just being randomly dyslexic. :confuse: You'd think, with as many people as get my name wrong... lol!

Gomez was *very* well packaged, so well in fact I half expected to find him with a little helmet on just to be 100% sure no harm came to him. ;) Hehe! She did a great job! You must thank her for me! :D

Wow he's adorable! And definately a chubby little guy!! Do you have an approx age or anything?

He's a cute little guy! Congrats! I know how hard it is to keep your hands off for the settling in period, but hopefully the time will go quickly for you.

His birthday is 5/14/05, and I can't even tell you how cool it is to know that. All the rest of my babies I know the approx age of (I know Falkor was the last week in September, but not the actual day) but Gomez is the only one I've ever actually had an exact birthday for :D

I get to scare people with the knowledge that my BP is a taurus, and my corn snake is a libra, lol :cool:

Ohhhh cutie cutie cutie boy! What a sweet looking snake he is! Congrats again to you and Karen on getting Gomez. I know you'll enjoy many years with this lovely bp.


~~Jo~~

I seriously can't thank you and Jamie (hah, see, I can spell!) enough, Jo! He's an utter sweetheart and oh so beautiful. :D We're going to treasure and spoil him rotten for many many years!
