It's kinda bittersweet but this is the last snake I'll be adding to my collection. I don't see many of these around so if anybody has any special tips on keeping BCO I'd appreciate it. She'll be shipping to me a week from tomorrow. Can't wait to get this one home.

What? You're getting a relatively rare and beautiful snake and don't plan to pair and breed her later down the road? You're killing me Smalls.

I really like the subtle beauty of the snakes in your collection. This is a beautiful new addition!

Thanks all. I feel like I finally have the right amount of animals (11) and enough diversity in the collection to be content. Sure I wish I could get a few more dream snakes but I feel like I've found my sweet spot where it's still fun and not too much like work. Now I can work on upgrading enclosures as needed and enjoying watching all the critters grow and thrive.

Knowing and limiting yourself the correct number of animals for you and your lifestyle demonstrates discipline which is a sign of maturity. I have limited myself to five snakes (currently have four) simply because I have so many other commitments in my life and I want to keep it to a number where I can give them the proper care and attention.

This cutie pie arrived today. She's not the one I posted previously though. After careful thought and consideration I decided I liked the markings on this girl better. My GF and son agreed so it was unanimous. We're going to call her Xena.

Congrats El Ziggy, and welcome to the forum, Xena. :D BCO are great, perhaps I'll have room for my own in the future.
