What's In The Box?

[SerpentineDream]

OK, I've never done the "Guess What" game because I've got so many snakes that people would roll their eyes and say, "Come on!" if I did.

But this is too exciting. A very special box lands this week.

So... what's in the box? (Hint: It's a breeding pair, 1 visual and 1 het.)

Boa????????

[SerpentineDream]

Colubrid species.

[regi375]

Baird's rat snake?

[SerpentineDream]

Nope.

Common species, exceptionally rare morph.

Palmetto corns?

[sattva]

It is snake's, right?

[Tiny Boidae]

I'm going out on a limb and saying corn snake. Maybe some plasmas?

[SerpentineDream]

Palmetto corns?

You got it!

How precious! Absolutely adorable little rodent killers you've got there serpentine. And I'm positive those cuties will grow into stunning adults as well.

Can't believe I actually guessed that with so little information haha!

They are beautiful! Ever since I saw the a palmetto for the first time, I have loved them! Congrats on the pickups! Good luck with breeding in the future!

I hope to get a visual male soon too. They are remarkable. I love the silver eyes and the multicolored flecks that make them look as if they are encrusted with jewels. These were produced by Travis Whisler from Don Soderburg's stock. Don doesn't do Palmettos anymore so he sent me to Travis.

Here's the female trying to make herself invisible (this photo and the 2 above by Travis Whisler):

I got a breeding pair of SMR Red Masque Cayenne Fires from Don a couple months ago and they're coming along great. They should mature to look like this (photo by Don Soderburg at South Mountain Reptiles):

Right now they look like this (my pics):

[EL Ziggy]

Awesome additions. I LOVE new snakes! !

[Albert Clark]

Wow! Amazing pickups. Cool way to snatch them up in pairs too.

[Tsubaki]

Oh wow, that red corn is really nice! Corns aren't my thing but that is just extremely red :O
