    Got three new ladies...Is that cheating?

    These ladies were all delivered on the same day from two different sources.

    Scarlett aka Big Red (Cinnamon): I was originally going to name her Big Red but then I thought that it might be premature because she may be the smallest female I ever own. So then I decided on Scarlett because I really like it and there's the red inference. When I put her on the scale she was 25% bigger than I was expecting so she sort of earned the Big Red and got an aka.



    Strange that the weight is gone in the picture. She was 302 grams.


    Missy (Pastel): When I was transferring her from the shipping container to her tub she tried to strike at me twice or at least I think that was what she was doing. Considering how cool the room was I'm concerned she didn't actually hit me. I wanted to name her for her poor aim. Everything I could think of was better for a male, but Miss---y works!




    Star (Mojave): Her name took me the longest. I ran through all the words that were related to the desert and her color, nothing good. She's the only one the the three to deficate in the tub so far so I had to clean it. When I looked at her for the third time now I noticed something. She has a mark where you would expect an alien head. It looks like a star and is a stand out marking. My iPhone wouldn't focus that close up but you can kind of see it in the blur. Don't tell the other two but she is becoming my favorite. She is also the smallest with the most stuck shed.




    The mark:




    I just got the scale so I also weighed Zeek, the man of the future rack. I cleaned the scale before doing this even though no snake really came in contact with it, but I was touching them and the tare button.

    Cheap, but well deserved, shot. I'd call him but I think he misplaced his phone.

    Thanks. He has an almost spider-ish/woma-ish pattern. Got very lucky with adopting him and my appreciation for him grows everyday.

    Ahh, could be hunger. They still have a week or so of mostly alone time till I try to feed them. Also the guy I got them from said they were 150-170 grams and clearly that's not the case. Not a big deal but the food I got for them in preparation is too big. Have to pick up something smaller this weekend.
