Settling in nicely

[EL Ziggy]

I guess a good meal goes a long way. Apollo was great to handle today. He didn't hiss, strike, or bite at all ;).

Yay! Guess he was just cranky and hungry from all that shipping, huh? His tub looks really nice & I like your tattoo! :)

[EL Ziggy]

Thanks Adrian. He ate a 6g rat pinky two days ago and his feeding bump is totally gone. The breeder told me he held off feeding him because he was prepping to ship him so my guy was a little famished :). I hope he likes his new home. This is my first tub set up. I like it but I wish I could find some larger ones. He's in a 60 qt. for now. That's one of a few tattoos too :).

I only have one tattoo for now as I'm still young, but I may get another one around my birthday in November, and it'll probably be a name. :)

When I had my BCI's, I used this tub. The bottom measures about 4'x14", and it's about 14" tall, the lid adds some height, too. You can find them for about $30 at Walmart around Christmas time. For a snake that size though I would recommend binder clips on the longer sides of the lid, just in case. I never had an escape with my boas, though. :)

I'll have to keep my eyes open for those Adrian. That's a nice big tub. Thanks for the heads up.

Looking good Ziggy. Sounds like Apollo is settling in nicely :)

Thanks y'all. Things are going well. I'm really looking forward to seeing him grow.

I know what you mean Kyle. They're addictive. Bulls are great. A JCP or IJ is next for me.

Totally, they are like Pringles to me lol I'm still dead set on getting a BCI next, maybe a bull after that:)

Apollo is a handsome fella!! :D

My guy Apollo is growing well. He's up to 275g and has really mellowed out. I cleaned his tub this evening and got a few cell pics.

He's a beauty! How big will he get? What's his morph type?

[toddnbecka]

Looking great, beautiful snake, though I'm not generally an albino (or most other partial pigments) fan. Like to look but not keep them myself.
I keep going back and forth between a bull or an MBK, but still leaning toward the MBK, in part because I haven't seen any bulls at the shows yet.

[D Grade]

Thats a good looking lil guy. Apollo is a stud for sure. :)

[sharthun]

Apollo is one handsome serpent brother!!:)

[EL Ziggy]

Thanks y'all. I like him a lot. He's starting to lighten up more and more.

@ Minkness- He's an Albino White-sided Bull Snake, commonly referred to as a Snow Bull Snake. They can grow up to 5-7 ft.

@ toddnbecka- If you want the best of both worlds you should look at the Black Pine Snakes. Some are really jet black and they're a bit larger than kings. I don't see many pits at expos here either. I got both my bulls from Jason Nelson at Envy Reptiles. I think he produces some of the finest Pituophis in the country.
