I haven't been here in a few months so I have a lot of catching up to do on everyone's scaled friends. I started lurking again a couple weeks ago and noticed that some have been posting guess threads, which I think is pretty fun. So I'm going to start my first thread back with a guessing game too! I actually wasn't planning on getting a fourth reptile so soon but I made the horrible decision to go to an expo in Virginia yesterday and I lost all control and proper judgement 😅. Now in my defense it is one that I've wanted for a while so that helps me to justify my actions haha! I had a ton of fun at the expo and saw lots of gorgeous, and some downright creepy, animals, but a single one definitely caught my eye out of the hundreds that were there. So now all of you can throw your guesses out there and see who can figure it out! I'll start a proper thread in a couple days to formerly introduce the new addition 😊.

Hi Scarlet. It's good to see you back on the forum. Is the new critter a snake, lizard, or tortoise? :)

Hmmm, to tell or not to tell......







Yes it is a snake! 🐍
On a side note I just can't seem to get myself to be interested in any legged critters.

I'm gonna take 2 guesses :). Is it a rat snake or beauty snake?

No and no, although there was a gorgeous Vietnamese blue beauty from the same breeder that I purchased from! I was very tempted but I don't have the setup for a beauty snake. I'll have to see if I can get the picture posted of it, I took lots of pictures 😁.

Nope, actually I don't think I saw a single bull snake at the expo, I was slightly disappointed about that.

Is it rear-fanged, a constrictor, or neither? That will narrow it down. :P

Water snake?

Water snake?

Nope, but maybe I should think about getting another water snake. I was very fond of the one I had several years ago.

Rear-fanged! We're getting closer! It should be pretty easy to figure out now.

How about a Hoggie!!!

Ding ding ding! An absolutely adorable little female albino hognose! I'll get some pictures up tomorrow when I have access to a computer. I've only got two right now since she's adjusting still and I don't want to take her out yet, but hopefully before too long I can get tons of pictures of her.

Congrats! I was thinking either another king/milk or a hoggie. Not quick enough to make the guess, but looking forward to the pics coming. :)

Well I finally got the pictures on the computer, but now it's telling me that the dimensions of the file are too large and cannot be resized. Hmmm...... anybody know how to fix it? I am ridiculously challenged when it comes to technology.

Do you have Microsoft or Apple? On Microsoft, there's a program called "Windows Live Photo Gallery." Just open the photo up on there, click the "edit, organize, or share," double click the highlighted photo (should be the one you opened), select "properties," and then "resize." Then you should have a copy of that photo in a smaller size.

I have no clue how to work Apple computers, iPhones/Pads/Pods are simple enough but not the PC, and I've never used anything else.

If you're trying to attach the photo, it might also be easier to upload the photo somewhere else (Facebook, Tumblr, Flikr, etc.) and copy/paste the photo's URL into the main body of the reply (looks like a landscape with mountains and a sun).

Or type around the URL.

Okay here we go again, I think I got it this time. First pic is holding her at the expo, second is the blue beauty that was from the same vendor.
