Who me? Own colubrids? Never! Hahah... oh, how the mighty have fallen :p That's right, I got another one... I think I'm well and truly converted to colubrid-ism now ;) I just couldn't resist this girl at the show... I spent most of the day hanging out at Joe's table -- he had her out playing with her at one point, and I asked if I could hold her... it was all downhill from there. LOL... I had her out for a while then, and she was such a sweetheart... I knew I was falling in love, and I tried to resist... but then I made the mistake of taking her out again a little while later, and it was all over :p At 3:30, I heard the words "Joe, she's mine" come out of my mouth. Heheh... and that was the end of that. The battle was over, not that I put up much of a fight :p

So, here she is :) Introducing Jette, my new '02 female black variable kingsnake :D

The day of the show... she was in shed....

A huge thank you to Matt for looking after Jette for me until the weather is a little warmer and I can have her shipped out here -- I can't WAIT to finally have her home :) That being said, all pics are courtesy of Matt... so thanks to him for those too ;) He must've got tired of me pestering him... lol....

And of course thanks to Joe for such a beautiful snake! :D If I'd had more money, I totally would've bought like half of his table... lol... as it was I spent money that I wasn't supposed to... but we all know how that is I'm sure ;)

Now I've just got to find her a nice handsome boyfriend to pair her up with next year, and I'll be all set! :) I'll be keeping my eyes peeled, for sure... I want to breed this girl next year!


Anyways, thanks for looking guys! :)

Thanks! :) LOL -- I know, I apologize for the big pics... I didn't realize that they were that large!

I swear, you can't win with this girl.. Everytime i send her pics, she complains that they're too small, now i send her pics, and they're too big.. MAKE UP YOUR MIND WOMAN!!!!

That snake is insane, when i took those pics i had no idea the flash would have that kind of effect on the look of the snake.. Pretty crazy looking if you ask me.. And she's really calm and has a great appetite.. Maybe i'll forget to send her to you Jen.. :)

LOL Tim -- thanks :D I happen to think I made a good choice too ;) And the pic sizes should be a *little* bit better now... lol... I shrunk 'em a bit. Figured I'd take pity on all the dialup users and people with small monitors :p

Matt -- I know, I know -- typical woman right? Just can't please me ;) The pics turned out great though, thanks so much! I'm dying to get her home, but I guess I'll have to make do with the pics in the meantime :) And don't worry, I won't let you forget to send her... lol....

I am going to join the ranks of the jealous ones - that is a gorgeous snake - and great photos. I am sure you will love her - it is a fatal mistake to pick them up and hold them - especially variables - if she is anything like mine they will just nestle into your hand and stare up at you - totally charming.

Congrats and welcome to the colubrid addiction

Yness -- was I standing there while you were holding her? If so, that's when I first really started wanting her... lol... I was standing there with "don't buy her, don't buy her, don't buy her" running through my head because *I* wanted to :p

Mary - thanks so much :) I love her already -- and yes, holding her was definitely my fatal mistake. LOL... She was such a sweetheart -- so calm. I'd like to say that next time I'll know better, but we all know that I won't :p LOL...

Foman (what IS your name btw? lol... one of these days I'll figure it out... you'd think I'd know all the victoria people by now :p) - thanks :D And I'm sure I will ;)

Very verrrrrrrry nice new addition, Jen.
Tell me, do you need to make room for the new one? You can still send me that one particular snake I like so much, which will give you room for this one. It's still not too late for my birthday present. :)

Thanks for the kind words everyone! :D

Ace -- thanks! Hopefully we'll get to see a few more next year if all goes according to plan ;)

Hilde -- you just keep on trying... lol. Maybe one day it'll work -- but don't hold your breath :p And no, I've got lots of room for her -- thanks for the ever so kind offer though *grin*.

Nice snake, great pics. I think Corey Woods used to have some Black Varibles, did he not? I'd check with him maybe for a mate. Mark
