Vigil the Dumie. Hmm wonder how THAT happened.

Well, guess who actually came home with me from the Reptile Super show. :| Another snake.

I drove to the show, walked in, saw all the snakes and thought to myself: if I see a nice and chill Dumeril's or BP at a really good deal, I will bring it home. If not, and I probably won't, I will just enjoy the show and go home snake-less. Welp, out of luck... look what happened.

A cute little Dumeril's female who I named Vigil. But she is not vigilant at all. She is a relaxed and chill as heck little girl who apparently fell asleep on my lap right here while I was editing photos... She is curled up and hasn't moved in 30 minutes. LOL. I got her for $110 from Susan Hardy's booth. I'll estimate her at ~500g. Even at the show, Vigil was super calm when I took her out and just very slowly slithered around. A few of the other snakes I took out to handle were were either freaking out or curling into a tight ball python ball, but Vigil is just... so chill. Can't think of a better word. Susan told me that Vigil is on live rats though, so I will see about switching her to F/T and hopefully she does.
(All my snakes are in different sections of the house, not in a rack, to anybody wondering.)

There was only one other male Dumeril's I saw at the show, and that booth owner kind of blew me off when I asked to take him out... He looked me up and down in this oddly suspicious way and asked, "Are you considering buying?" and I replied, "I'm considering...", to which he just replied, "The snakes are stressed. The geckos are all stressed too." Simple as that, and basically straight blew me off. I'm almost 99% sure it's because of what I look like/my demeanor, from the way he was looking at me. Well, lost my business there. :\

Here's Vigil.
