ANOTHER new addition to my collection...

This has been a very good couple months for me. First I was able to add a milksnake, a tarantula and two new red eye tree frogs. (and this for a girl with a husband who normally does not allow new animals!) Now I am able to add this beauty to my collection, and I could not be happier! Thanks to Jason/jknudson (and Melanie too) I now have this gorgeous cinny girl which not only is an awesome addition to my collection but also a very special gift of friendship. I can't even begin to describe my total joy right now.

Well, before I get all teary eyed and weepy I'll get to the pics. She's in shed, so she's not even in her full glory!

First off a nice and toasty box with a bag full of cinnamon!

Next, I barely got the bag untied and she was peeking out. No shy missy here.

I got her to sit still for a whole minute I think

This was just seconds before she realized ... hey I'm free!

First she checked out the lay of the land

And then .. she was off

I am so, so, SO happy with this girl!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN JASON! :bow: :hug: :love:

So beautiful! It's awesome to see how happy someone gets when they bring a new friend home. :banana:

Nice Cinni.....Everybodys getting Cinni's I feel left out..

Christie I'd have love to been a fly on the wall when you tried to talk your hubby in to that..we all know what you said it would take to get a new snake......I bet that was hot. :D just skidding..

Great little girl you got there..

:tears: Dear God

Congrats on the new addition! It is always nice when the SO agrees to expanding the collection!

I'm not sure if it is just the flash reflecting off her eyes or if she is going into shed, but if so, she'll be just gorgeous once she gets her new skin! She's already a purty girl!

I swear the first pic looks like a box of soap bubbles! That must be the new way of shipping reptiles!

A lot of people are using that batting stuff for cushion here recently. I've gotten several shipments with that in it and its great, soft and lets heat and air flow with now problem while still insulating the animals from shock and temps changes.

Yeah, she's in shed. You'll be getting more pics once she's finished shedding.

As for the packing, it was TOP NOTCH! Like Ed said, it's the batting used as filler for sewing projects. She arrived so toasty warm even though they didn't deliver the box until 1pm. Jason did a great job all the way around.

Thanks Jo. I'm so excited and over the moon happy about adding her to the collection!

No I haven't picked a name yet. I suck with names, and have been trying to come up with something for a couple months now. :slamhead:

Thanks. I can't wait either. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in all her shiney cinnamonyness. (yes I'm making up words now)

Well my boy Cinnie thinks your girl Cinnie looks HAWT! :)

Hey how about Cassia (pronounced KASH-ah) and can be spelled Kassia too. It's Greek and apparently can also represent the spice cinnamon.

Well tell your boy that my girl is too young to date, and if he tries anything fresh ... wait *turns mom mode off* ... I just had flashes of what my life will be like in a couple years with my daughter. :O EEP :giggle:

I like that name. I'll have to see if it 'sticks'. Thanks. If you come up with any other good names, throw them my way.

Believe me I'm way in mom mode these days since my 15 year old Beth has her first "serious" boyfriend. Since Beth's a member of this site I best say no more or I might get the MOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! deal from her. :rolleyes:

Got any ideas on a theme for naming her or any sort of play on her color or temperment or anything. I love naming snakes! (is it wierd that I keep a database of future snake names, their meanings and so forth :))

oooh congrats on that beauty Christie. she's a looker and hasn't even shet yet!!!

Very nice cinny :)

Christie, I can't wait till you see her post shed! I love the floaty parts in her pattern. And the contrast is awesome! And I think she MAY just like you a lil more than Jason! She really liked hissing at him! Haha! I'm glad you two like eachother! Now hurry up with a name!


And Jo- yes, it is a little weird that you have a database for future snake names.... But I don't judge! ;)

Gotcha... ;)

I was thinking of naming her with some spice theme, some name meaning gift, a play on Jason's name or Mels... (but Jamel just sounds not quite right) but honestly I'm open to almost anything.

As for the database... well it might be a teensy bit weird, but as a mom of a dating teenage girl you are more than entitled to a few eccentricities. :giggle:

I agree, her pattern rocks!!! :clap:

I'm working on the name thing I promise!!! :oops:

Ohhh I think I may have a name.... Dakota. It means friend, which I think is very appropriate.

Grats tigerlily:) awesome cinni:) if i ever get one I am gonna be tempted to go with the obvious name choice of Toastcrunch:)

how about Cinnabun? or I'll keep looking :D

Nice add, :cool:


I love the colours on those things - all blushy, floaty, chestnutty goodness. :lick:

Thanks. The name choice is hysterical! Although I would feel silly calling my snake ToastCrunch. Maybe just shortening it to TC? :giggle:

Thanks Doris, but I think I'll pass on cinnabun. I thought I had it with Dakota, but now I'm leaning more towards Penelope and calling her Penny. (but I need to see post shed colors to see if that would fit her well)

Thanks Derek. Her colors in previous pics are heavenly, so I'm anxious to see them in person. Now if she would just get with the shedding post haste.

Gorgeous Cinny Christie, she is a true gem.

She is gorgeous!!! Congrats on that big sack of sexy right there... :)

I think they go into shed on purpose so they leap out and be all TA DA!!! You thought I was hot before, NOW look at me.

Thanks!

It'll be a couple days before she sheds, but you most definitely will be seeing another couple pictures of her very soon. I peeked in on her this morning and she looked good but no shed yet. :rolleyes:
