Mazikeen progression thread

[Starscream]

We finally settled on a snake! Put the down payment on her today, but won't be getting her for a few weeks yet. I'm so excited! We've had a name (Mazikeen) picked out before we started our search, and this little girl just fit the bill perfectly! So excited!

(pic from an email from the seller, 'Still Ball Pythons' on Morph Market).

Super red axanthic, and gorgeous as heck! When she comes in the mail I'll try to remember to do an unboxing video - but we'll see how that goes lmao.

Yep! She hatched May 30th, so she is very, very tiny lmao. For real though, I'm re-checking that everything is set up perfectly and in-range temp/humidity wise..... Can't help myself.

Mazikeen's the name of a demon from Lucifer (DC), which was given an TV adaptation through FOX in 2016. She is amazing and badass, and loves licking knives? She's just one of my favorite characters in the show, so. All the significance I needed!

Didn't get around to an unboxing video -- as mentioned in another thread, there were some mishaps with shipping ('FedEx why' is apparently my go-to saying rn). But I got photos of her! Not very high quality, I'm afraid. I think I need to add another light bulb to my overhead bc its just. Too warm. Too saturated. Gross icky lighting. Anyways. Here is snek.




And one from about an hour ago, paper tube gets snek star of approval.

She is absolutely gorgeous congrats!!! I love that you've given her a pvc pipe "branch". Is it held in place by tension or did you glue it?

She's got two -- double the climbing! I actually drilled tiny holes in the sides and then put nails through them. It's super sturdy, and I can remove the nails to clean the pipes and the tube more thoroughly.

Awesome planning there! I bet once she settles she's going to be one happy snek!
