Meet Kevin the Lemon Blast

[sneksNferts]

When I got up last night to use the bathroom, Kevin was checking out his new digs, no doubt deciding what he can rub on because, it turns out, he's shedding. Explains why he was less yellow than I expected when he arrived. This morning while getting ready for work, he was in his hot hide and I could see his side through the entrance and he's looking much yellower. I didn't see the shed anywhere, but I didn't really look that much either(could be under the fake plants). I'm gonna check him out when I get home later just to make sure he's not stuck shed.

Yep, it was under the plants.

So I let him out for our first interaction.









"Oh what is down here!?"

"Clean your heckin house, hooman!"

I like simple names. I have Harvey and Mikey. My previous snakes who were adopted were George, Ernie, and Ted. Kevin is a lovely little guy, and I love his namesake!

Everything the light touches is your kingdom Kevin, but not the Doritos!

I was trying to think of a Lion King joke for that picture but I just could not think of one, so THANK YOU for that

Love the name. Congrats!

LOL, when I saw the title of the thread I figured OP had a “what should I name my snake thread” and took your advice.

I think my fiances first suggestion was 'Fluffy' and that was just...no. lmao.


Next time I'll host a boxing match and whoever wins gets to pick whatever ridiculous name they want.


Unrelated, but his info sheet from Reptiles By Mack said he was born 7/14/16, but he's only 107 gram. I feel like the date is either off or that's the egg lay date. It also said he was on small Live mice, so I have some work in front of me. I'm thinking if he doesn't take a thawed mouse I'll try to find a live fuzzy rat to get him on rats first and then try to transition him to F/T.

He's transitioned to f/t rats since my last post. Up to 197g as of an hour ago, although I'm sure he has a poop or two in there that'll drop that a bit.

I showed him the outside world today

Phone is broken and I keep forgetting to bring the SD card from my camera to work, but here's the noodle doggo doing a blebleble

I put my GoPro in his enclosure to tape him feeding and this was the only interesting part as he pulled it into his hide to consume shortly after. Shot at 120 FPS, played back at 30ish and slowed down a bit more when I made the GIF
