Pixie the tanimbar scrub python

[hilabeans]

Whaaat! I am indeed that Fiona. That's a crazy mix up omg! What's going on over there with them LOL, imagine someone sleazy just tells them their shipping address and they ship out a paid snake to a different person. I mean I guess I would still get a refund, but dang!

Yeah, at first I thought they were messing with me since I was asking them questions - like "ok lady, your snake's in the mail!". But after a few jokes back to them I realized they were seriously trying to mail me somebody's snake. When they mentioned Fiona, I knew it was you from your artwork. Too crazy! I told them you were responsible for bringing me to their site from a thread on this forum, but said I didn't think our relationship extended to you being cool with me getting your snake!

Good thing I wasn't some shady creep, though. Otherwise that could have been awful.

Holy cow, what a crazy story !!!

Poor Fiona, she would have been heart broken !! Been waiting so long on that lil russian dude !!!

A good thing you are such a honest person. Good things will come your way. Maybe a little russian one day, LOL.

Seriously haha! I'd be pretty disappointed but just take it as fate doesn't want me to have a russian rat snake this year, since it would be the Zerkle's loss in the end. Hope this doesn't happen often with them LOL.
But YAY, I'M SO EXCITED for the little guy to arrive tomorrow morning!!

They are hard to find. Ken Foose briefly listed some on Kingsnake.com. I almost bought one. Opted for the Trans-pecos instead. Will check the Zerkle site just out of curiosity.

Did he have those this year? Were they hatchlings or older ones?

May I ask how often you feed Miss Pixie? My little Tanimbar eats like a demon monster from hell! And every time, it's like he hasn't eaten in months. Then, a millisecond after he swallows, he hunts around for more. I've been told I should transition him from a 7-day to a 10-day feeding schedule, but I am curious as to what works best for you.

LOL same with mine, though I think being voracious eaters is sort of a trait of the species. I feed mine every 7-10 days on either weaned rats or two rat fuzzies, though I'm going to start her on smalls and see how she does. Back when she was a bit smaller and I fed her one large weaned every 7-10 days and it left a huge lump, she would calm down better after the meal. So I think upping their meal size would help.
