Just picked up a wee little Dumeril's Female, as they tend to be cleaner and of course, bigger. She's a little sweetheart. I held her at the shop and again a short while ago, and she was never skittish.

I thought she might be a bit nippy after the motorcycle ride over.... I wasn't planning on picking anything up, but it was love at first sight. I asked for a box and set her up on the backseat securely, then took it easy on the way home - no hard acceleration, braking, or much leaning over. Since I only have a bike, I had no other way to bring her home anyway.

I set her up here in a big shoebox for the moment, with a makeshift hide and a water bowl, and some aspen bedding.

No name as of yet. I'm guesstimating her length at around 18", so I guess not quite a year old? Shop guy said she was already on rat pups, but doesn't that sound a little too big? This is a decent exotic pet shop, but maybe the guy was a little confused. Or, I'm wrong.

I chose a young snake over the full-sized adult I found yesterday (only a $30 difference) because, as evidenced by my chicken wire thread in the DIY forum, I'm not ready to house a big snake at this point. I just don't have the funds for a really big tank and a snake right now. Just the snake and a small tank, no prob.

So a couple of pics were shot, before I put her away so she can chill:
