Absolutely gorgeous!! :gj:

i was just looking at the pics again and adam got it mixed up. it's the male on the right of the het pieds. cause peanut is a girl and king is a boy... i don't even have them and i can tell them apart!

cracked is our spider

lil dude is our male pastel and i'm trying to remember the name of our female pastel. my daughter's snake is named petals.

hmmmm... off to figure out her name LOL

Awww, Petals... what a sweet name... :love:

comet... comet is my girl. i knew it had something to do with her needle and thread loop on her neck LOL

here's a post of some older pics of these beauties.

pretty bp's..drooling over spider.....

Oh Aleesha they are so pretty. I can't wait for you to finally get them home. that wait must be killing you. :D

no but i am starting to get excited in my belly! I'm very patient... you can ask Adam!

They're looking great Aleesha.... and big. ;)

I hope they find their way to you soon girl. You've the patience of a saint!!!

They look great Aleesha; how long have you been waiting for CITES paperwork so far?

Seems like you've been waiting for these since the day I joined.

They look great, Congrats and good luck with them all.:gj:

it's been a long process. there were many things which got in the way and happened... but... they are going to be coming sometime soon.

I'm sure the wait will be well worth it; they're beautiful and I'm happy they're finally on the way home.:snake:

oh they are gorgeous! i'm very excited to see them!

Darn aleesha! Smokin!! They will be breeding size when you get them.... LOL! Spider is my fav I'm a sucker for high whites.

ya they are two years old so.... i bet they'll be ready to breed very soon indeed!!!

I wantto know howmay other breeders will hold onto snakes for that long, and not quit. That's slot I his time and money put in for the customer. Very profecional! Kudos to you and Adam for hanging in there!!

i agree. i really appreciate him caring for them for so long :)

Wow!!! They look GREAT... and are all just gorgeous Aleesha!!!!
I'm sure it's been frustrating on both ends... and I'll be doing a happy dance for you when they arrive at their new homes! :)

So she is named after you huh :rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl:

purdy! :gj:

azak you have the cutest avatar EVER!!!

no joe... she's named after YOU! LOL

laura, i've gone through my moments as i'm quite sure adam has as well... but all in all we've done a nice peaceful "sit and wait" - it's been great doing business with him. after all, life happens! it just does and if you don't have compassion for situations, then why breathe?

for anyone who is unaware i feel like i need to clarify something. i could have received my snakes last fall. the CITES finally came through in august and we were going to have them sent to us. but adam's son fell ill. i told him to forget about us... focus on his son.

unfortunately by the time his son was 'out of the woods' it was too cold to ship. this cold snap continued all winter! airlines will not ship when it's below zero and so we waited for the warm weather to appear. then our CITES expired and we've had to send away for a new one ('we' meaning adam) and he's received it again. we are simply waiting on Air Canada to do an inspection and approve adam again for shipping to canada and we will be ready to go. but hey, this stuff takes time!

when dealing with live animals and many different agencies it's important to breathe and remember that your breeder is doing what he can to get you your product/critters. trust me, i can't imagine that adam is thrilled about feeding my snakes week after week... cleaning their enclosures... changing their water. he's doing it all... and not a single complaint from him about it to me. not one!

so... although we can look at this situation and think... 18 months are you freakin' kidding me??? if you look at the details you'll see that there was nothing that could be done to speed it up. we simply have to wait. everything will happen when the time is right.

hopefully... the time will be right this year :)

Love the spider! I wish you fast as possible snakey delivery!:snake:

can i use your bus?

Aleesha - "Isn't it about time?" :P

I SOOO thrilled for you beyond measure! I can't wait until they are finally home!

I'm so glad that things are starting to move forward again! I'm sure they'll take your breath away when they arrive!

oh i look forward to that moment. i probably won't sleep the night before... just "hoping" it actually really happens and they get here LOL

and it's definitely "about time" LOL

the spider looks big already! love the high white sides!

beautiful female pastel!! i wish mine could b that bright and yellow.

nice nice! hope the 50%er proves out!!!:D:banana::banana:

ah thanks. i love the reduced pattern on lil' dude. (male pastel) he's so cute. if you look in the archives you'll see pic of him when he was a baby... sooooooooo adorable!

i kinda feel like i've missed their really yellow phase... so i'm hoping their babies will feed that need within me!

Those look amazing! I'm very envious. :)

go buy more snakes then!!! LOL i'm sure adam has more just like these ones :P

How have your dealings with AC been?

I have shipped BPs and reptiles within CA, but never dealt with an out-of-country shipment. I think the CITES and shipping. daunts alot of people from going through with the process.

Congrats on such gorgeous animals, the spider is beyond compare (they are all hot mind you).

I don't know Bruce... we haven't received the snakes yet. I'll happily respond once I've dealth with them LOL

Whoops... my bad. :rolleyes:
