New Snakies!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Today was a good day at hamburg. Just a few new additions to the family!!! I have to post these pics really quick and then I have to scat!! These are straight off the camera except for having been cropped!!

I think this male concinnus is just stunning, he's so different! Some may call him ugly, I call his GORGEOUS!!! And a fantastic addition to the high black project!



I grabbed this 2 year old axanthic plains today for $75!! I think that's a good deal! She looks exactly like a puget!!! But a radix! She's SO blue, I had no idea they were this blue!!



And here's a snake I have long wanted to own, introducing Crinkles, my elephant trunk snake. This is a fully aquatic species of snake that easily reaches 5 feet in length and feeds on fish. You keep them in an aquarium, with lots of vegetation and hideys, just like a land snake except under water!!! Let hope crinkles settles into the family nicely! he was the biggest fattest baby!




and before I go here is my nebraska albino radix (I did not buy her today just took a pic for fun) She's developing the nicest red coloration!

Wow, I love that water snake!! Do you heat the water? They come up for air right?

That Axanthic Plains is really nice! The Elephant Trunk snake is interesting to say the least

Those are some beautiful additions you've got there! I like all of them! Crinkles though is stealing all of my attention, I have never heard of an elephant trunk snake; he is completely fascinating and cute!

Congrats!

Looks like you have a quite a diverse collection. I love the first two, and the last is not bad either!!!

I've seen adult elephant trunk snakes before. They are a pretty thick snake, thats for sure. I love the blue garter, Itsn just incredible. I wish my garter was more handable lol.

thanks guys! Yea, I had no idea that an axanthic plains garter was that blue. I have anerythristic plains and they are jet, shiny black with a blue-gray stripe. I saw it and at first honestly I thought it was a puget, then I looked closer and saw it was a radix and then I saw the label and it all made sense!!! She was only $75, that is a steal!

The elephant trunk snake, javan file snake, dogfaced snake whatever you wanna call him seemed to be doing okay yesterday. I'm going to start him on live feeders and then very quickly switch him to f/t silversides once he gets comfortable. That is, provided he does well for me! I love to keep fish as well as snakes, and so this is like two birds with one stone! It would be really cool to watch him grow up Right now his setup is a small 5 gallon tank (he's tiny I feel he would be lost in ten gallons yet) with a hiding cave, a fake bonsai tree for anchorage and a ton of floating foliage so that he feels nice and secure when he takes his breaths of air. His skin looks good and I had first pick so I picked the biggest fattest one, once I realized that choosing a pattern is pointless because they all look the same!!! I am not heating the water because in my snakeroom it's not necessary, it reaches on average 85 and sometimes a little higher during the day in there! If it were in another room, or come winter time, yes the water would absolutely be heated.

Congrats on your new additions! I like that blue girl.

The elephant trunk snakes are the oddest snakes I've ever seen. I saw some at a show once and they have a very interesting feel to them!
