Pixie the tanimbar scrub python

[redshepherd]

SOMETHING CAME HOME WITH ME FROM THE SHOW, and it was not a russian rat snake :’) There were none there, unfortunately.

So she's a captive bred yearling Tanimbar scrub python, produced by Andre Mondin, and I purchased her from Mike and Erika Renau! I actually just wanted to hold a scrub python, and they had three… they told me she is the most docile and let me hold her- she’s super flighty at first, but calmed down in a minute. I came back like 2 hours later to ask more about her, found out she's taking f/t small rats, handled her again, and then bought her.

I had a set up all ready at home to begin with for whatever terrestrial or semi-arboreal snake I might (*coughs*) bring back from the show and hahah


I named her Pixie, just now!

Just from watching her in her cage today, she’s super inquisitive on her own, yet nervous at the same time when I watch her, and her eyes/head follows me as I move around… and she doesn’t like it when I stare at her from outside the cage lol. My eye contact makes her shrink back. Hopefully she gets used to me and calms down easier as time goes on! Pretty neat!

iphone pix of Pixie for now. It'll be a couple weeks before I take her out again for nikon or canon photos. She has an interesting bluish tint, and is much less brown in person. No idea why my phone is making her out so brown in the first pic.







So... pretty interesting!!! I also bought Vigil a gigantic new hide from the show too, so she could use it for life.
