Thanks guys - we love her (hence all my worrying!)

We looked at all the Surinams and Guyanas they had in stock, but compared to Carmen, the others, including the males, didn't hold a candle to her. It was a done deal when she stretched out to Rick's face and gave him a little tongue lick on the nose. =) He's such a softie with the ladies!

We talked about bit quite a bit, but like the LLL guy said, go for the snake you love (and hope she doesn't get too big, hehe!). We figured too since there are two of us to care for both girls (and plenty of help and experience here!), we should be okay.

*edit*
Oh, and there still a chance Carmen is a he; the LLL guy popped her, but as we've read, popping is not always 100% reliable, so a visit to a good vet and a probe may prove differently.
