Hi everyone!
Since people around here seem to love photos, and since I just became a proud new snake mom, I wanted to share some of the first pictures I took!
Be warned though -- they are from my cell phone!
I promise to post better ones once I get my hands on a better camera.
Here he is, just arrived from BHB Reptiles! I'm very glad I decided to order from them, as he seems very healthy and tolerated the first handling very calmly despite just arriving from that long trip -- no curling into a ball or anything!
He has a lot of pronounced "alien head" patterns on his sides. Some of the aliens even have "mouths"! He stared at me for a long time as I held him, tasting, tasting, tasting... he is so adoreable, it was definitely love at first sight on my part!
Now I just have to think of a name...
Here he is in his new home! The cool whip hides are a temporary fix as we are having a bizzare shortage of plastic flower pots in La Crosse. I was originally going to go with the homemade hides made from plastic flower pot saucers, as described in one of the stickies.
(The humidity/temp is also a bit low as I had the cage open for a while)
Here is how my 10gal terrarium is set up, in case anyone has any suggestions. I'd also like to thank everyone who put work into making the BP care sheet, stickies, and general posts for all their help!
