OMG. My first expo was the NARBC in Arlington today! I had an absolute blast. I was very good and brought cash only and did not even bring in my credit/debit card so I wouldn't spend more than I had. I had the intention of picking up a spider female and an anery motley het amel corn snake.
My first purchase was what I believe to be a Miami phase corn snake. She was sold to me as a male, but when I got home and popped and probed her, she is definitely a female! My mother (who HATES snakes) convinced me to buy her. I won't breed her unless I get another Miami phase male since they tend to wash out colors in their offspring. She is mainly just a pet. She doesn't have a name yet, but here she is:
I also picked up an anery motley het amel corn snake boy. He is going to be paired with my snow motley and my bloodred (to try and prove out her PH amel). I've been having this hunch that my snow motley was a female but I didn't have a small enough probe to sex her with. I bought one today at the expo and sure enough, she's a female! Her name has been Severus, but I might change it to Tonks...we'll see. Anyway, the male anery I bought (I've named him Travis) will be bred to my girls when they are all old enough. Here he is:
And finally...the main reason I went to the expo: a spider female. I have named her Charlotte because of Charlotte's Web (Charlotte was the spider). She will be the mother of my future bees/killerbees. She's a small 59g right now but I hope to see her gaining weight very quickly! Here she is:
All my new babies have been situated in their new quarantine room. I will also be getting me a new thermostat for in there. Right now she's on a hydrofome and the corns on on a dimer until I can get my new thermostat in. Which would yall recommend? Ideally, I would love one that can hold two different temperatures.
