Introducing Meerah

[clipclopclip]

This is Meerah, my new normal BP from the Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo. When I bought her, I didn't have a name for her, so now that i do I suppose she needs a thread. I will post better pictures once I steal my father's camera (mine is very old and crappy).

At least you can see her pattern hahah.

here she is helping me with my essay:



here are two pics of her I took on a table, but she was very energetic and so they are a little blurry:





Thanks for looking! I hope to get some cool pictures that are non-blurry with my father's really nice digital camera. For now these will have to do!

She's pretty. I am lovin' the loooong neck stripe!

[clipclopclip]

Thanks, i like it too. The best thing though is she has two "freckles" right behind her head on her neck in that stripe hahah. I think freckles are cute

[Laooda]

Really pretty! I really dig the white she has going on too

Thanks! I think she's an exceptionally pretty normal, but then what do I know? She has very bright, crisp colors and markings, which is cool. I don't know if that's just because she's young though. Anyway, I am biased, as I am just smitten with her!

That's a nice neck stripe. Who did you buy her from?

[clipclopclip]

I bought her from Scales n' Tails at the Expo. Hahah I drove farther than their store to go get her, but oh well. I finally actually made a trip to their store in Northglenn the other weekend and made 'friends" with a loose anole that bit and wouldn't let go hahah. Very cute little guy. Anyway, she has been a great feeder and super mellow, she seems to love being handled (I know I know, anthropomorphizing...I should say tolerates being handled). She comes out around 6pm and bumps the top of her tank until I take her out, at which point she curls up in my hand and falls asleep hahah.

Very nice python! I love the pattern. How old and long is she?

[clipclopclip]

Well, she is an 07, but I'm not sure which month she hatched. She's bigger than other 07's I've seen, so i suppose around 4-5 months? Does that sound correct for hatching purposes? I haven't been able to keep her real still for measuring but she is about as long as my BF's arm, which is a little over two feet (I know this because she climbed up his sleeve and into his shirt hahah).

I don't have a scale as of yet, but I think I may borrow my mother's. How old does she sound? She eats very well, so I don't suppose she's a smaller, but older snake. She definitely an 07.

I have only owned corn snakes until I bought her, so I'm not real savvy about how big BPs are versus their ages. I guess I should have asked, but it was my first expo and I was a little more than distracted hahah.

anyone want to venture an age?
