I don't know how it happened, but...

[Clownfishie]

Somehow, I seem to have been followed home from the FVHS show with even MORE colubrids :p I think I've been well and truly corrupted now... lol. Although they are still outnumbered by the boids ;)

Actually, I did go to the show with plans to pick up a beautiful 50/50 cal king from my friend Alecia, and possibly find a boyfriend for her as well -- so, everything went according to plan ;) I'm very happy with both of them -- beautiful black & white, just like I like 'em! :D Both are late '03 babies...

Here they are! I apologize for the crappy pics, I'll get some better ones later...


First, here's Luna, the female (named for the moon shaped marking on her head) -- thanks to Alecia for selling me this beauty! :):

And, here's Checkers, the male :) Purchased from Henry Piorun...

So far, Checkers seems pretty calm... Luna's a little on the hyper side though, and also decided that it would be fun to musk me while I was trying to take her picture :p But, I'm sure she'll calm down eventually... lol. And, they've both taken their first meals with me no problem, which is always a relief... Took them a while to get the fuzzies down, but they did it. LOL.


Thanks for looking! :)

Now that's how a 50/50 calking should look! The female especially. Great specimens! Congrats!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks everyone! :) I'm really looking forward to these guys being able to breed, they should make some pretty awesome babies I think!

Fo, thanks... I actually didn't name him, my friend did. LOL. I asked him if he had any suggestions, because I was totally blank trying to come up with something to call this guy. It's not usually my type of name, but it seemed to fit, so I went with it ;) He's probably the only one of my herps with a "normal" pet-ish name... lol...

[Melly18]

If only there were herp shows in Tennessee...

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Brian :)

Knox -- I'm pretty sure there must be something in your area! There's a bunch of shows down there... try checking in Reptiles Magazine and see if you can find anything listed... or see if you can track down a local-ish breeder, they might know...

Very nice Jen Congrats :)

[knoxvillef4i]

Thanks, Jen... TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will not allow Herp shows in Tennessee for some reason. The closest I can find is Atlanta or some cities in South Carolina - each about a 3 hour drive or more. Too much trouble to save $15 on a Corn Snake.

[BoidKeeper]

Very nice Jen! The 50/50 is my second favorit King after the Mexican black. I love them because they remind me of a Sea Crait!
Cheers,
