Our Little Patriot

[Patricia]

Since it was only a few days before July 4th when we brought our little one home, we've finally settled on the name "Patriot", which our 9yo came up with. (Not to mention that the first 5 letters are the first 5 of my name too.)

We got Patriot via a Craigslist ad. It came with the tank, everything. Didn't have a UTH, though, (heck, it didn't even have a name) and still had shedding stuck to the rear third of its body. Once it warmed up, the shedding came off the next day. The prior owner thinks it's about 6 months old. I wish I knew more precisely how old it is. This is the first snake I/we have ever had, and this forum has helped us a lot. (Ignore the Petco dials; we've since added an Acu-Rite.)

These pictures have been taken over these past 2 weeks. I've kept them small since there are quite a few of them here. Thanks for looking!






Pictures of it drinking. Fascinating to watch!





First, staring contest with the hygrometer. Second, the underside.

What a cute little guy! I love the yawn pic!

You got a pic of a perfect yawn and drinking, two rather hard ones to capture great pics and grats on the pickup

Thanks! I've probably taken close to 100 pictures of it in the 2 weeks it's been here.

Okay Patricia you seriously have to get that snake sexed so you can call it he or she. Heck pick one randomly if you like - it's not like the snake cares much anyways if you think it's a boy or girl snake LOL.

I love Patriot's name! What a cute name for a very cute little BP.
