Yurlunggur, aka Bruce (picture-heavy)

[Prognathodon]

Last weekend we want to the Tinley Park NARBC show, and we were only *supposed* to come home with my husband's Vietnamese Blue Beauty . . . Fail! My excuse is that the very few Stimson's pythons I saw at the show were very faded-looking.

This is my new boy, who is officially named Yurlunggur, but got nicknamed Bruce on the way home:



I got him from GFX Morelia, hatched June 2014. He's fear-nippy, just like my Centralian, but may already be getting better (or I'm learning how to handle them).

His typical "I am a big scary snake! Fear me!" pose:


Interestingly, he's the first of our snakes to like a top-entrance hide, presumably because he likes being arboreal.





He decided light cables were a good perch:



I replaced that light with one that wouldn't need cable loops in the cage (I'd tried to save a little money, should have gotten the second light to start with) . . . Fail:



So on a trip to Reptile Rapture on Saturday I got him a Magnaturals shelf; and yesterday my husband built him a jungle gym. First test-fit:



Trim and re-center. Bruce approves:



I got an artificial vine yesterday, maybe tonight I can get it laced across to give him more options.
