Today we went to the store to get feeders (they were out) and saw that they had some pastel hatchlings for sale. $100. We asked if we could see them (there were three) and we took each out in turn. The first was very aggressive and bit me. He was in shed so I didn't blame him. We put him back though. The next was another male. Very calm, not head shy and with more yellow than the other two. Very pretty. The next was another male and he had more orange and was brighter than the other two. We instantly fell in love.

We decided to talk with my fiance's mother before bringing the snake home and it worked! After talking with her for a bit on why we wanted the snake and how much it would cost to purchase and feed it, she agreed to let us bring it home. We are so excited. We are about to jump out of our skins knowing he'll be home tomorrow.

We already have a name picked out. Since we purchased the crested gecko earlier today, and named it a halloween-ish name (chewy, like halloween candy), we figured the pastel should have a halloween as well, especially since we are bringing him home on Halloween. His name is Thriller, like thriller movies (which scare me too much for me to watch them)
