I picked up a California kingsnake at the Daytona show on Saturday

I had actually seen the cal kings in a recent issue of Reptiles mag and fell for them. I thought, this should be my next snake.. and I want a high-yellow/banana phase :pick: You know how sometimes you're walking around a show and you're thinking, I'm not even browsing 'cause I ain't buying nothin'? And then, there she is... And you can't resist. Especially when you have a sister that says she'll spot you the cash (talked the guy down to $65)

I got a 15 gallon long for her on the way down; I had checked craigslist and sure enough, someone was looking to get rid of one for $15, not too far from where I live. At the show I bought some goodies, like a UTH and bowl, and a hide. She'll have a better home in about a month. She already made herself at home (pooped), I didn't like it too much as it was a liquid consistency and I'm used to my boa's solid gray stuff. I don't know what's normal for her. I'll keep an eye on her but she seems quite healthy.

I've named her Buffy, since she's a California blonde. (I know, the top of her head is actually dark brown, but she has no hair anyway so it's all a moot point, lol.)

Some more pics:



Preliminary measurements have her at just under 3 feet long, and the vendor said she was a yearling:





We weren't the only ones tired from the trip back. Yawwwwn!



Right at home now:
