2 New Additions 😀

[SWDK]

I received two new additions to my collection/addiction. The both came from Big Apple Pets in Florida. The first is a hatchling Apricot Pueblan Milksnake and the other is a hatchling Black Milksnake. I really only got the pueblan to get free shipping. They're both beautiful and I'm happy I added the pueblan. I'll post pics later this afternoon.

Pay no attention to the Sesame Street band aid. I cut my finger trimming a pork shoulder for the smoker this morning and it was the first one I found.

Amazing pickups! They really look cool. Grats.

[SWDK]

Thanks Albert! It will be quite neat to see the black milk go through its color change progression.

[EL Ziggy]

Congrats on the beautiful new additions Dave. Those Black Milks are very impressive animals. The Pueblan is a stunner too.

[SWDK]

Thank you El Ziggy. Been looking for a black milk, but they're not available too often. Never would have thought to check Big Apple for them, it was simply by accident I found him there.

Were you able to have the snake sexed and choose the gender before you bought him?

He sure is a looker. Both of them are! What did you name them?

[albertagirl]

Squeee! I love black milks! And that pueblan is sweet too. Very nice.

They only had males available for the black milks and the pueblan I didn't specify bc I don't have breeding plans for it.

So far they don't have names yet. Sometimes a names jumps right out to me and others I need to have around for a bit to see what name is appropriate.

[SWDK]

Thanks Albertagirl!

Haha, thank you!

Snapped a quick pic of these two feeding. The black milk color is definitely darkening over the past few months.

Pueblan is a sneaky feeder.

They look amazing! Love the colours!

[dave himself]

Don't know how I managed to miss when you first posted these Dave :confused: anyway they are stunning and like most looking forward to seeing the colour change in black milk which has started already it seems ;)

[sattva]

Hey SWDK... Nice looking guys... Quick question, how are you able to post pictures without them being over sized?

Thanks! I upload my pics to Photobucket and then copy/paste the image code to post the pics on the forum. I've always done it that way and never had an issue.

They look amazing! Love the colours!

Thanks! The yellow on the Apricot Pueblan is what grabbed me over a normal Pueblan. I hope it stays that bright as it matures.

Thanks Dave. It's easy to miss posts with all the new threads and updates going on here. I miss posts all the time and keep wondering how??? Yes, the black milks color change is progressing nicely. Each shed it gets just a tad more black tipping. It's pretty neat how they go through such a complete color change.

Nice! Great additions!

Amazing snakes! No pictures of the pork shoulder after it was finished on the smoker? - we need a meat section on the forum 😂

No pork shoulder pics, but here's one of the briskets I did.

That brisket looks nice, was it het for dinner lol

[EL Ziggy]

That brisket looks delicious. Actually made my mouth water. Might have to take an early lunch today. :)

[dave himself]

That brisket looks off Dave, I reckon I should come round and try it to make sure it's safe for you ;)

[TRD]

Damnit now I'm hungry and it's nearly 1 AM here. I doubt my wife would enjoy me starting to cook in the middle of the night.

[SWDK]

Thanks everyone! Smoking meats and cheese is another one of my passions.
