I went to my first reptile expo today & splurged on a gorgeous diamond x jungle today! the show wasn't as crowded as I'd expected--I suppose the rain may have been a deterrent. I'd intended to get a boa but these djs were absolutely stunning. She & her kin are late 2010 and I have to say that the more slender build is likely better suited for me at this time.

Best of all, handling her was positively fun. She is settled in perfectly on the perch in her cage right now. I expect she'll feed this week without a hitch.

Before I put her away to acclimate I managed to get a few pics. once I figure out how to post them I'll indulge, although they aren't that good to begin with.
