I finally got a lesser!!!

Hi,

My new boy arrived this afternoon after being delayed by 24 hours in transit by the stupid delivery company (may their bowels twitch like a nervous schoolgirl )

He came from CrystalPalaceReptiles and weighs a whopping 81g.

I cannot get the colours right in the photo's and he is now in his weeks settling in period but I will try again once he seems more relaxed.

He also ate a F/T hopper mouse already tonight (it was feeding time for the smaller guys so I figured nothing ventured nothing gained ).

It may be completely unimportant but there is a little interesting gossip about his genetics - he is F2 from the platty female in Ghana and then shipped over here.

I won't pretend to know a dashed thing about the genes to decide if that is a good thing or just a nice titbit of info.

I keep sneaking through to the back room and keeking round the corner of the door to catch glances of him.

Here are the least embarassing of the pictures;







As you can see I also treated myself to a good book to read while he gets used to life in Sconnie Botland.

He wasn't keen on sitting still I tell you that for nothing - zoom zoom went the worm.

Thank you - have patience it took me **well** over a year to be able to afford him and I was starting to think I'd never make it.

Keep the faith and the snakes will come.
