She is a beauty. I can't wait to pick her up. They're giving me a 55 gallon too, I just have to find a lid for it.

They told me that since the picture was taken, she's grown. She's now 7 feet in length. They said that she's "a bit nippy". They haven't worked with her at all and she's quick to strike, so I'm going to have to do a lot of working with her (oh darn).

Very nice gal Marcus! We look forward to seeing more pics! Any word on the BP rescue?

[FourFeathers]

No word yet. I emailed him direct with no response yet. There won't be any hard feelings if he changes his mind. But I'll take him if he decides to give him up.

PS Thank you for looking into adoption!!!

Well, we picked up Cassandra today.

Her "common name" is very appropriate, for she is in fact quite a beauty. She definetely needs some handling time. She's tagged me about 3 or 4 times and one time her teeth sank deep enough that I had a time "unhooking" her from my hand.

They gave us a 55 gallon with an UTH too. We picked up a lid with locks on the way out to get her. I'll post some pictures later. I'm gonna let her settle down some first.

I'd highly reccomdend that you check into adoption. People like Rusty (on this site) and others like the folks we just picked her up from, I commend highly. It takes a lot of time, money, and care to do what they do.

Anyway, I'll get a picture posted soon.

Their name definitely serves a purpose

I checked into adoption and I had to fill out this huge form
like references and job references and my job number and my vets name and number

I understand why but that seemed a little excessive to me so i said forget it!
if there was a rescue somewhere around me i'd be more inclined so they can just meet me
those forms would have taken me an hour to fill and I don't want some guy contacting my boss and former boss's and I don't really have any reptile references so it wasn't worth it to me

what steps did you have to take to adopt the beauty?

Very nice beauty.... Allready giving you love bites!
