    New yellow girl

    I took the bait on a Craigslist ad. She's about 6 feet and 14.5 pounds. So once my young guy is older, I'll try pairing them. She's actually very friendly and has been great handling. I managed to negotiate a bit and get a 4 foot Animal Plastics cage included (which obviously won't last long, but can be used for some of the others) for $450. The guy had a large green, boas, a retic, etc and when I asked why he was rehoming her, he told me he didn't want to, but his husband doesn't like them, so he's slowly rehoming them.

    She's acclimated well so far (it's been almost 3 weeks now). She fed well, although she's now started going in to shed, so she skipped the last. I'm definitely happy with her.

    Thank you
    Just snapped another quick one. I took her out quick and put her in a tub so I could change water and clean up. (She's in blue).

    How's her attitude? Mine is younger and was a rescue that we got from Animal Control, she was very defensive and nippy at first. Thankfully they have pretty short teeth compared to their overall size. It took a few months but she's really mellowed and will pop out of her tub to crawl on us and chill when we check on her.

    Also don't be surprised if yours backs off feeding a bit over the winter, annies are known for that even if you keep them warm they sense the changing seasons. They make up for it in the spring.

    She's really tame and sweet so far. My younger guy is still very flightly, although he seems to be getting out of the nipping stage, he has been musking.
