YESSSSSS FINALLY!!!
And guys, according to Zerkle (though not sure how true this is), she is the first melanistic russian rat snake bred and born in the United States! Or first being sold rather, because there was another female melanistic in the same clutch that they kept.

Well this is a bummer. FedEx had a shipping delay so my girl has been held up while crossing states. There is a chance the truck may leave later this afternoon so I'm hoping that means she could still arrive later tonight or at the very least tomorrow morning.
Zerkle and I are keeping very close watch on updates. I've been reassured Debbie from Reptiles2you will take care of things and keep us posted. Fingers crossed everyone! Hoping baby girl will be okay and get here safely.

Congrats!!!
Yup, colubrids are worlds apart from BPs in so many ways. They're a lot of fun, and I feel they're a great choice for anybody choosing to keep multiple species.
Just curious, why the gloves in some pics?

Thanks for much Craig! She's definitely a lot of fun to watch so far and I'm finding the differences between her and Tapioca very fascinating! I definitely need to keep an eye on her because she moves faster than what I'm used to haha.
The gloves were when I was checking for mites since I'd figure they'd be easier to spot on white. She just kept winding around my hand that I didn't get the chance to take the gloves off haha, especially when I had some good photo opportunities! Every other photo was blurry as heck lol

Ah, ok. That makes perfect sense.
And yup, they're like lightning compared to BPs. Super escape artists too. If there's an opportunity to escape, they'll find it, hahaha. I feel your pain on the blurry pics too. They are definitely difficult to get good photos of.
I do love variety. Like you said, it's fascinating to see the differences from one species to another.
