My new spotted pair...
As promised, here are a few pictures of my newest additions... a 1.1 pair of adult Spotted Pythons. Got these from a fellow BP.netter, and yes they made the drive home fine. I think they look like a darker version of my Stimsons, but have a cool rainbow iridescence to their scales. So far they seem to have really nice temperaments, also similar to my Stimsons. Anyway, meet Rosie and Johnny! Names will probably be changed, partly because the girl has my grandma's name - don't think she'd appreciate that, LOL.
The girl
And the boy... he's a bit shy, so I didn't want to bother him much.

Re: My new spotted pair...
Thanks for the comments! They are both settling in nicely, and definitely ready for a meal (tomorrow's feeding day)... but I think the girl has outgrown her hide, LOL.
(I just replaced it with a medium Exoterra I had laying around, and it fits her perfectly. )

Re: My new spotted pair...
Btw, I will also be replacing their substrate tomorrow... they apparently like to burrow, but since I'm allergic to Aspen (any wood) it's gotta be Carefresh or "Yesterday's News" litter. Any opinions on those two beddings? I've been using Carefresh for years, and find it to be a tad dusty - has anyone used the news stuff?
Oh, and here are some better photos of the boy... he was in a more outgoing mood today.
I love his stripey pattern!

I havent used either bedding but I know alot of short tailed keepers use carefresh maybe someone can answer that. But I wanted to say my childreni love to burrrow, most of the time I cant see them. I haven't noticed my maculosa doing it but im not sure they could. They weigh like 15 grams...

Re: My new spotted pair...
I replaced their bedding with Carefresh today, and both of them dug right in... the boy had just his head buried, ostrich-style, when I checked on him earlier. I also fed them today, and the girl went right for it - still not sure if Johnnie's eaten his yet (it's f/t).

Re: My new spotted pair...
beautiful!! The iridescence is crazy and I love the dark pattern on the male's face!! The pic of the female under her hide is great too... my creamsicle corn does that all the time. Even though the hide is big enough for her, she just loves to sprawl out under it It's good they're happy with their bedding now though!

It's so funny when they do that, isn't it? I have a picture of my big BP Mona doing that, and it's actually an extra-large Exoterra hide... and people ask if they're happy in "such small enclosures," LOL.
Thanks for the comments on my new pair, and they're doing great! The boy did end up eating his mouse, so they both took their first offering without complaints... haven't seen much of them since.
