    Deborah,

    I have an animal that used to be on YOUR dream snake list! WOW!

    I've seen plenty of yellow and white albino carpets, and actually prefer the natural coloration over that "simple" look. Just my preference. I like contrast and unique coloration. When I saw how orange he was, especially on his head, and the nuance in his colors, I was in love. Plus, I was told he is a total sweetie, which checks out.

    I was also looking at a much more expensive female, an Albino Granite, who had pinks in her white spots, but being a granite, had very little contrast. Yafe is just a striking animal, even if he is "just" albino, het Granite.

    I also love his demeanor. He's part boa and part corn snake. He can move a little quicker than a Boa, but is usually chill, and when he does move, it's exploratory and curious in nature. He is not shy and spends most of his time in the open so far. I put him in a hide last night and he stayed there for a while, but his favorite spot seems to be curled up in the warm corner between the wall and hide, with his head peaking out to see what I am doing. I believe he lived in a tub/rack before, so he hasn't completely figured out the "branches" yet. I hope he does and can enjoy his 4X2X1.5' Boaphile with two 4FT climbing "branches" (PVC pipe) in it. I am sure he will figure it out.

    He also has quite the grip. He's about 115G and as thick as my thumb and his tail alone is incredibly powerful. He wrapped around Katie's hand and wrist for 3 minutes, and she started to lose circulation. Again, he's 1 year old and 115G! Wow, he's going to be strong.

    Behira (BCI) is powerful, but it's spread out. Yafe has so much strength in just his tail and back section. Really cool guy.

    I love Behira (BCI) and think she is beautiful and is my favorite snake to handle. However, I love me some heat pits! They are so cool.

    Yeah, he's a handsome devil. Yeah, close call on the name pronunciation; glad I got to the bottom of it. Thank you for the kind words.

    Yeah, love pretty eyes. That's how I ended up with Katie and her gorgeous blue eyes.

    Behira and Carra have those dark grey/marble looking eyes. Shayna and Solana have those bright red eyes. Figment's eyes are freaking purple! Yafe's eyes are that cool red, but not plain red, whitish red with nuance. Kayla and Cleo have deep red eyes.

    Frank has brown eyes, but he talks with them. Want to know how Frank is feeling? Look at his eyes.

    Finally, Ezzy has killer eyes. Huge and beautifully whitish yellow.

    Yep, Phillydubs, I'd we are 10/10 on reptile eyes.

    Thanks for the comment brother.

    Nice! If I didn't mention, Yafe is a Irian Jaya and Darwin Hybrid.

    Good for you crossing snakes off your bucket list! I have only one snake left on my bucket list; 1/2 dwarf Burmese. That will probably never happen because I don't trust the whole Lacey Act fiasco.

    I know what you mean about wanting one for years.

    I wanted an albino BP for 20 years before I got Shayna. When I was younger they were crazy money. Worked out, I waited until I was older and could both afford and understand how to properly care for her, and my other reptiles.

    Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet Progression Thread

    Not a good update:

    Handled Yafe today and he was distressed. He was making popping noises and mucus/bubbles are coming out of his nostrils. He seems very uncomfortable and was making lunges/flails towards me - not bites or strikes, but was clearly uncomfortable.

    Not good at all.

    Looks like an RI for sure.

    I am calling the breeder to complain and I am taking him in to the vet, 2 hours away, tomorrow at 11AM.

    I will report after.

    Very upset and distressed. Praying this is an easy fix and we get him on track quickly.

    Luckily he didn't sit in that shipping box for 2 days we did pick him up on the expected delivery date. May be a blessing.

    Sometimes the stress of shipping can bring these things out*. Vet should be able to get it sorted for you, best wishes for a speedy recovery!

    *I have an adult BRB for 5 years in perfect health, shipped him off to his new home where he had an RI the next day. It's not super common but it does happen sometimes. (just so you don't get distressed if breeder tells you he was fine there as he may very well have been)
