He's finally on the way!

I'm so excited! Over the last couple of weeks I've been looking at the photos of the beautiful Vietnamese Blue Beauties that Sheree has posted. They're just incredible! Well, I finally couldn't resist any longer and I went ahead and bought one. He's officially on the way and should be here tomorrow morning! :carrot: I've spent most of this evening trying to think up possible names for the 'little' guy (he's appx. 4 ft. long) but I guess I need to wait until he's here to see what his personality is like. Don't want to name him sweetie-cutie-pie if he's got a 'it's me against the world' attitude, lol! Anyway, sorry for babbling....I've just got the new young'un jitters! :oops:


Oh, and a thank you to Sheree for all her help! :hug: She's been really wonderful and very patient in answering all the questions I've had about the care of these snakes. Thanks again! :D

Congrats, I love Blue Beautys. The local reptile shop has a couple adults they just got in and they are BEAUTIFUL. Again Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the new addition. Where did you pick him up from?

Thanks folks! I got him from Sean at Exotics by Nature. They've been super nice and very helpful. :)

That is awesome! I'm SO envious!! Congrats!!

Oh can't wait to see the pics and congrats! They are certainly gorgeous snakes.

Crow,

Just to let you know, those beauty snakes are beauties. I live ten minutes from Sean, and have seen those snakes many times. By the way, you can't go wrong buying anything from Sean. Enjoy your new baby.

Congrats,

Ooh and I've been eyeballing those EbN blue beauties as well - can't wait to see pictures!

Lessee...names...some ideas!

Beau (pronounced "bow" as in ribbon and bow) - French word for a handsome man

Nguyen or General Nguyen (pronounced "when") - most popular Vietnamese man's name

Meris - Latin for "of the sea" (going along with the sea being blue)

Danube or Blue Danube - 2nd longest river in Europe, usually referred to as "Blue Danube"

My pleasure to be a help, Crow! :) I adore these snakes to bits. When we start adding to our collection here, we intend to name all our Blue Beauties with ocean/sea names. Just really seems to suit them, imho. Both the calm and the ... well, Neptune! lol!

Congrats and can't wait to see pics!

agua - means water in spanish

azul - means blue in spanish

acuoso - watery in spanish

congrats on your new baby... i know how you feel right now as i just added a new snake to my heart...

How about naming him King Triton????

Hi everyone and thanks for all the replies! :D Well, my newest guy got here at about 10:30 this morning and he is in great shape! The packaging by EbN was wonderful....I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. I really appreciate all the great name suggestions....I've written a bunch of them down for future 'kids' (I just can't seem to make the addiction go away, lol). I think I've decided to go with Draco for this one though, for some reason it seems to fit. Anyway, I managed to get a few quick photos of him while he was settling in soooo....here he is!

Thanks again everyone! :D

Stunning!! He is gonna grow into a big, gorgeous snake!!! How is his temperment so far? (Although I know it's a little early to tell.)

Well, I'm not really sure yet....lol. :) I've pretty much left him alone to get settled in. I got the impression from EbN that he might be a little 'fun' at first but that with handling he should be fine. I'm willing to work on his attitude if he is....:D

He's beautiful!! Draco's a great name =)

They have a reputation for being nervous at first ;) Beautiful pics! I love the last one especially!

Oh Draco does suit him and his face is gorgeous! They are just the most lovely snakes and I personally can't wait to own one myself some day. Their face markings are just to die for. Congrats on his purchase, I'm sure he'll bring you years of joy and pleasure.

oh he's soooo pretty and i love the name!!! my new one is drake and yours is draco :)
