I know you said your male was het for stonewash but he looks more stonewash than normal to me.
    Yes, I do like his pictures because he makes it easy to compare the nuances of each animal and look up the lineage of each clutch. Also, he was very responsive to email or phone and as I mentioned, he spent the time to talk through a number of topics related to snakes which I thoroughly enjoyed. I know there are some great people and breeders around and he is definitely at the top of my list. Glad you had the same experience.

    As for the stonewash, we'll definitely see. I do appreciate "normal/wild", hypo, stonewashed, Afors, Price, etc... The clinch was that he was a 2015. Thought it was a better choice for me. We'll see on that too. Starting to think I might need to pick up a small snake hook today just in case.

    A year in the tub then a 3000 mile plane trip. I might not find a welcome reception reaching into that bag tomorrow!

    @ Rock- I'm excited for your new arrival. You probably won't need a hook for the new guy. A glove should suffice . My Bredli was a little snappy for the first few weeks which surprised me because they're considered one of the more docile carpets. He grew out of it quickly though and is very tame now. If your guy is a 2015 I wouldn't expect him to weigh much more than 150-200g. I got a 2014 yearling coastal from Nick in late 2015. He was 85g on arrival but he's grown quickly.

    Just a glove, eh? Oh boy.

    Thank you for the mutual excitement. I think my kids (8, 5) are going to lose their minds with happiness. My wife is going to lose her #@%&* mind. And the 10 lb dog we have is going to ask for confirmation that she is not a future meal.

    It's all relative. For us that only have small BPs, this 2015 Morelia is going to seem major no matter what size he weighs in at tomorrow.

    Gloves, eh? 1 or 2??

    I'm just kidding with you Rock. You won't even need the glove. The snake isn't big enough for it's bite to hurt but who likes getting bit? I sure don't so I do use one glove to unbox my new critters until I see how they're going to react. Once they settle down and I know they're not going to bite I'll remove the glove.

    Okay, thanks. I see the point of the glove, though. I'm going to give him some space the first week anyway but I will have to move him in.

    Tonight's the night. He should be on his way to the airport soon. It's the final countdown...

    Re: This is my Bredli. There are many like it...

    I received an email from Nick this morning, that he sent last night, which included the following advisory from FedEx:

    Critical! WINTER STORM WARNING- Tuesday Update: We are receiving storm reports and warnings, including FedEx Service Alerts, about storms and delays that extend through the first of the week. As of Tuesday morning, we are seeing about 30% of packages that were shipped Monday being delayed. Insurance is disabled at this time. We strongly suggest holding off on live animal shipments and check back with us on Wednesday, late morning. At that time we will be able to read and react to delay reports from Tuesday, and if possible we will lift the warning, and turn insurance function back on. Thanks for your understanding and patience, we want your animals to travel safely and responsibly!

    He will arrive in two days, Wednesday morning, so this is the only picture I have of him. Thought it was a good place to start charting his progression!

    You've got it, Craig! Thank you. I am disappointed with the travel delay but I am sure the wait will be worth it.

    Oh I'm sure the wait will be worth it. Lots of snow up north the past few days. Not sure if that impacted delivery or not, but I wish I was in FL right now!!!

    Re: This is my Bredli. There are many like it...

    Even though he is coming from Washington I am sure all the snow affected things. Seems like the travel advisory to live animals is system-wide.

    This morning in Miami was 60 but sunny. One of our coldest days this winter. No complaints.
