Thought I'd share some pictures of my girls Chelsea and Kirby. Chelsea is my newer ball who I have had for three weeks now, and I'm just in love with her. She's very inquisitive, and lately she's been moving her bedding and hide. Interesting girl with an interesting personality. She's also in the middle of a stuck shed which I'll soak her for in a few days (today is feeding day)
the tank, before and after
Kirby was my first python, and she's a charming little thing in her own way. She's very shy, and seeing her outside of her hide is a rare treat. She came from BHB when they came to the Arlington NARBC, and she really inspired a love of snakes
Some friends got their snake, Yoshi, at the same time, so they were housed together for a few hours. Yoshi is the closer snake, Kirby is the climbing one.
I'm actually really proud of the second picture, because it was right after her first good shed. Her very first one after bringing her home stuck, much like Chelsea's, but I soaked her a few times and was much more careful with her humidity (I keep both tanks around 60-65 now).
Lastly, I've been working on a shiny new snake rack that I'm crazy proud of. I know it's nothing special, but I'm still very pleased with the way it's turning out (particularly since this is my first time using power tools). It's going to be a seven slot rack system with 41 qt sterilite tubs. I'm thinking of moving Chelsea into it once it's finished so I can use the tank she's in for feeders (Chelsea eats live, and the pet stores near me only have full sized rats that are stupid expensive). My flexwatt should hopefully be here by the end of the week

that's an awesome looking snake rack! I want to build a 41qt rack as well. Just have to find the time to do it. Thanks for sharing your babies with us. I'd love to see the rack when it's all finished
