Well, the girls are back from the vet after a very eventful day! Went to the vet and they were declared a healthy weight, no external parasites, doubtful based on their weight that there's internal parasites, no RI's - and NO CHARGE for the visit! He said that he enjoys the herps and not many of his clients have them, and it was a pleasure to handle such beautiful snakes - so no charge! Have I mentioned that I love my vet?

I'll probably still take fecal samples to him later just to be 100% sure there are no internal parasites.

He didn't really want to probe Kashmire, he felt he was too young, but he did anyway and he is indeed a male and will be a beloved pet! He was a little unsure with the probing, but it did seem to go in pretty deep. Interestingly - maybe the breeders can comment, he counted scales from the colocoa (sp?) to the tip of the tail on each of them. Is this significant in any way?

Kashmire - 33
Kiah - 27
Echo - 27
Godiva - 28

No Name became named - Godiva - I just couldn't let them make a file on her called "No Name". Thanks Jo for the name, I think it will stick!

Ah, THEN the fun part! Stopped at the convenience store, saw someone I knew, showed them the snakes - and locked my keys in the car! They said "hey, the police will come and unlock your car if you have children or pets locked inside - give them a call". Called, they said "what type of pets, ma'am?" I said - "uh, reptiles". They took my cell phone number, said they'd call the fire department and see if they'd come. Called me back and said they were on their way. Big 'ol ladder truck drives up in five minutes and a drop dead GORGEOUS firefighter comes up, nice as he can be and says "so, we're taking bets what kind of reptiles?" Told him and he wanted to see them after they unlocked the car - of course I even let him pet one of them! LOL

Anyway, pictures below. Daniel, I borrowed (ok, stole) your white towel idea for some of the pictures.

Godiva "modeling" the new enclosure - identical for each girl - other than color of bowls. The purple box is a third hide.
