Hi!

[Pengil]

Welcome to the forum!!!
And congrats on your first snake!!!

Feel free to ask questions, lots of great people around who are happy to help.

Thank you!!!! I'm sure I will have lots, especially after he comes home.

Welcome !! Make sure you get your set up sorted .. temps etc well before getting him .

Thank you! I already have two tubs, my heat mat, my thermometer, and my t-stat, and I've already been playing with the empty tubs to see what the temperatures run at different times of day/what my humidity looks like so I can do any more pre-prep before the substrate and hides go in. Results have been both positive and entertaining.

Welcome! That's a great first snake, he has four genes in the mix - Banana / Lesser / Pastel / Pinstripe. He would make a great breeder if you ever went down that road. All four of those genes are a few of my favorite and would make some awesome combos. I was the same way with my first few snakes, I was so excited I could hardly sleep!

Thank you! Apart from the fact that he is just about the most gorgeous snake I've ever seen, the number of genes he carries was also a deciding factor... Just in case. It can't hurt to be prepared, right?

welcome to the forum! and what a way to start off a collection!!! i probably shouldn't assume you'll get more but i mean...it happens to most of us LOL.

Thank you! I'm already accepting that there's a good chance he will not be an only snake, and the fact that the apartment complex allows you as many small pets (snakes included) as my heart desires will not help with that. The lack of good quarantine areas might, however...

Welcome aboard and also, sorry to hear about your new addiction.

Haha, thank you! If anyone, feel sorry for my poor boyfriend, who only originally wanted one pet, and is now subjected to my burgeoning zoo.

Hi and welcome to the forum. What sort of setup are you planning on going with - a rack or cage??

Thank you! I actually have tubs at the moment- a 32 quart that was originally going to be his home, and a 6 quart that will likely be his baby box (I was originally planning on getting an older, bigger snake). I'd like to eventually go PVC display, but that's at least a summer goal.

Thanks for stepping out of the shadows! Welcome!

Thank you! It's nice to finally not lurk anymore.
