Bean, my female pastel (pic heavy)

[Thalasuchus]

Hi again BP.net, and thank you to everyone who helped me in my first thread! This little girl is off to a great start so far.

Bean is my first (and only) BP and my first snake. She's about 6 months old and 141 grams at first weigh-in, and I've had her for just under two weeks. She's eaten for me twice already (on a 5-day schedule) and seems very tame and comfortable in her new home <3

Most of the pictures I have are from her trip home (apologies for all the phone pics, some day I might get a decent camera):






She was being very nosy in the car!


She has those pretty green-hazel snake eyes.


She balled up by the time we got home though.


Checking out her new digs.

I'll get an updated pic of her enclosure soon, I've added some plants to make it more crowded. She never seems to leave her hides anyway, haha.

Oh, I also have a few "red light" photos that didn't quite fit in...




She was acting very hungry last night before I fed her. She came out of her hide like this every time I came up to the tank.


So she gave me a much better feeding response this time than the first time! I was so happy. You kill that dead rat pup, baby Beanie. (Beanie baby?)

Good healthy looking BP. Congrats

@Spencer: Thank you, she's doing very well I think

A few more from today. I can't seem to photograph her colors right, they're a little lighter than these pictures show, although she doesn't have the brightest yellows of any pastel I've ever seen, by any means. She'll probably brown out quite a bit eventually but I don't mind. I'm loving her personality.







These were all next to a window on an overcast day. I'd love to take her out in the sun but wind chills are below zero here today...
(Again sorry for blurry phone pics...)
