Yeah, Adelita seems to be a bit on an odd one in terms of snake personality. She's a hungry hungry peachy wallflower who's main joys in life are gastronomy, judging people, cinema, and that after-the-rain smell (she really likes to sniff around after I mist her enclosure). I picked her out because she seemed very curious and intelligent (on top of being a friendly little peach), but the degree to which she truly is has surprised me. She's very "with it," aware, and openly expressive around people compared to other snakes I've worked with. Finding forms of enrichment that truly "click" with her and satisfy her mental needs has been a challenge.

Mate, don't tempt me. The only real reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a Morelia anyway this season (against my better judgement) is snake housing. Both the fact that I don't have spare snake housing on hand, and that I would probably be upgrading Kuzco and the alleged carpet at the same time (that'll suck when they both need 4'x2'x2's, and downright painful when it's time for the "grown up" 6'x2'x4's).
So I don't need to be reminded about Mike's WOW-line Jungles. Or his ocelots. OR those tiger-y looking caramel coastals Owen's got for sale. OR the tiger Darwins, Papuans, and the one striped coastal Nick's got on his website. And Lord help me if Eric actually decides to sell the Papuans that he hatched this year, especially those banded ones.
