She actually came in last Wednesday just never shared:D These are photos from when I took her out of the container and then stuck her in the cage. I haven't touched her since but I did catch her moving around in the cage yesterday. I'll probably feed her when I feed everyone else today since she seems pretty settled in!

I adore this morph! It's on my list of must-haves. For now I hope you'll keep sharing photos of your girl for me to be jealous of! Very cute. How's her temperament seem so far?

Larry Keller is her breeder:D I wouldn't mind buying from him again! I will continue to get pics to share as she grows. We startled each other today and she did that raised coil open mouthed warning. I glanced in the cage and didn't see her....turns out I'm going to have look a little harder since see blends into aspen better than the others I have right now. She calmed down after I retreated and gave her a second. Otherwise she seems calm doesn't try to bite me through the container. I haven't handled her yet except for that first day and she seemed pretty calm even then. She just had her first meal today so I'll take her out after a couple days. I'll share how that goes and get a pic if I have a beauty snake trying to eat my finger:p

I had her out Friday and she was perfectly fine. She is active just like my other Chinese Beauty but she showed no signs of aggression. She wasn't skittish and kept wandering away to look around. She eventually coiled up under my ipad and just gave me a look when I picked it up to look at her. She didn't flinch when I set it back down on top of her either.

I've read quite a bit about the chinese beauties being skittish but my two are definitely not skittish. They wander around their cages 24/7 and will look out the cage into the room to see what is going on. Even when you walk up to their cages while they are looking out they don't flinch away or run. I have to say out of all my snakes right now the chinese beauties are the most confident and bold.

I only have three snakes right now that aren't easy going. My white sided rat, king, and black milk. My milk isn't bad once she calms down but she is definitely my most skittish. My king would be easy going if he didn't think every piece of warm flesh was food:no:
