We went to pay a visit to my cousin and a few of the hold back GTPs from the breeder he had introduced me to. He was super nice and let us come check out our future baby on such short notice. Turns out my husband just lost it and I have never seen a 47 year old man turn into a 5 year old so quickly. Against my better judgement, we ended up taking the one he fell in love with home the next day. Thankfully I had the heating equipment, temp probes, and spare thermostats to setup a decent tub.
6+ hours of a very nerve wracking, for me, drive home including one time he/she nearly escaped from the partially unzipped container bag we bought and cobbled together (those insulated soft coolers work amazing for snake carriers FYI) we now have a settling into quarantine 8 month old Aru US born and bred GTP. I think we spent 3x the shipping cost in travel expenses but it was kind of fun to visit family and get out for the weekend.
Funny story, we were joking how active she was and my husband absentmindedly reached into the cooler and found first hand just how much those fangs can hurt. So he got christened with the first bite for a change instead of me usually being the one. Anyway enough of the boring story about how foolish I was, here are pics!
Meet Ganja (husbands name, I wanted Nosferatu)
I swapped the temp wooden dowel for pvc I had lying around in the garage actually
