Check out what followed me home from Jeff's house last weekend... I never thought it would happen, but I'm now the proud herp mom of my first colubrid! LOL... And not only did I come home with ONE... I came home with TWO :p I just couldn't resist these two little beauties! They're definitely going to take some getting used to though... lol... goddamn but they're fast!! :p I have new respect for people who's posted pics of these things... lol.. can't count how many blurry/no-snake-left pics I ended up with. Hehe... Maybe I'll get the hang of it eventually ;) And they only almost got away a couple of times so far.. lol... chased one around my kitchen counter for a few minutes :p That was fun...

Anyways, here they are!! :D 1.0.1 Tangerine Hondurans... 100% het spotted, 50% het hypo!

First, here's the male... Merrick :) Can't seem to make up his mind whether to be a spaz or a sweetheart... lol... he's the one I chased around the kitchen... and then I fell in love a few minutes later when he wrapped himself around my finger and stayed there for 5 minutes. LOL...

And, here's the 0.0.1, Jem :) Fingers are crossed for a female... I LOVE this little girl!! Her colour is awesome, and her sides are just too cool :D She's insanely spastic though. LOL... No indecision as to whether to be crazy for this girl :p She KNOWS she is. LOL...

Bowels, Bowels, Bowels.. Not only did you go and buy the snakes that i was interested in, but you went and posted so many pics of them just to rub salt in the wound.. They're both real beauties though.. So i guess i can find it in me to congratulate you.. Or not.. :D

Glad to see another one converted to hondos - they are wonderful snakes - they really do outgrow the insanity of youth and you have a wonderful pair. Congrats,

Jen, those pictures are soooooo clear...what type of cam are you using?

Handle those hondos frequently and they will calm down, nothing more impressive then a 5-6 foot honduran.

Congrats

Sweet Hondos! I like the "vanishing" bands on the 0.0.1!

Good luck with them. :)

Nice pics too! :D

LOL Matt -- why thank you, you're too kind :p

Mary, thanks :) And I'm glad to hear that they'll likely outgrow the insanity! Lol...

Marc, I'm using a Sony Cybershot (DSC-50) :) It's about 4 years old now (they don't even make that model anymore actually), but it was top of the line when I got it, and it still does the job :) Takes good macro shots, which was my primary concern when I was looking for a camera... next time I think I'll likely go with a Canon though, I've liked what I've seen/heard about them :)

Joe, thanks!! :D

And Tim... me too! LOL...


Thanks for the kind words all! :D I'm happy to report that both of the new additions ate for me on the first try :) Jem took one fuzzy, and Merrick took 2... going to give them another try tomorrow and see how it goes!

Jen, I heard you're thinking of coming to the show this month? How about bringing the snakes along? I'd love to see them in person :) It's okay, I just want to see them, not snake-nap them, honest. For true.
(he heeeee)

Very nice Jen! I cant wait to get some of these guys.

LMAO Hilde! Uh huh :p I think I'll leave them at home, thanks ;) And I'm not just THINKING of coming... I AM coming! :D Ticket's booked, got myself a place to stay, and plans are starting to shape up... I'm super excited!! :D I can't believe it's only like a week and a half until I leave... holy crap! LOL...

Thanks Sean! I've only had them for a week, but I get the feeling that I'm going to end up with a few more than just 2 of these guys ;)

Yes they are very addicting, you will have a house full before you know it LOL.
I am currently saving my pennies for a pair that I have reserved for the summer, cant stop dreaming about them LOL.

Great looking Hondos Jen!! I have a male that I did a "photo shoot" with. I lost him in my sofa for a week and a half, when I decided to check out the pics I took! LOL Doesn't take these guys long to disappear when they want too!! LOL

LOL Ace!! I'll have to make a mental note to myself to remember NOT to try and check out the pics until these guys are safely enclosed back in their tubs... lol...

Marisa -- ha hahahaha. Yes, I'm a snake thief. Ok? I admit it :p Happy now? LOL... And I hope they make me babies one day too ;) Although if I end up with 2 males that isn't all that likely to happen... lol...
