Auryn's First Playdate :)

[AzureN1ght]

Well, it's been a week...so I decided to take Auryn out for a brief photo op/handling session. He was a little skittish at first: "Who are you?!" "You're scary!"... but after sitting quietly, he decided that I wasn't -too- terrible, and he explored a little.

I kept it short--probably a little under 10 minutes. But I got a few photos in that span of time

He's not terribly "Lemony" yet...Kara and Kev both told me the day I picked him out that he'd probably yellow up after a few sheds. They also told me that many young pastels go through an "ugly" phase... No matter what phase he's in, I think he's beautiful!

His pattern still blows me away--and he's got this little thing in a blush on his back--I call it a "vampire bite", Sarah described it (in a MySpace photo comment) as a "bulls eye". It's really neat.

Here's the few photos that weren't terribly blurry.





In this pic, you can kinda see the "vampire bite"--

I'm pretty sure he just didn't know what to do when I was holding him. "Well...whatever this giant heat signature is, it's warm...but then again, it's kinda HUGE and scary..."

Oh yea that snake will be a looker good job!

Thanks--I sure hope he grows up the be the handsomest boy on the block!

It looks like you might have enjoyed that first handling session a bit more than Auryn, but least that first week of acclimation is over. Congrats again on that cutie. I like the 'bite marks'.

Awww Kim he's a cutie! Glad to hear he handled the handling reasonably well. Can't wait to see him as an adult, he's got some lovely markings and blushing going on.

Do it! You know you want to! I'm so glad I decided on a Lemon Pastel as my first snake---Auryn's just a doll. Spiders are beautiful, too though. Maybe you should get one of each!
