Wahoooo!!! I've got my first baby :)

[Clownfishie]

I'm in love -- hehe :) He is SO CUTE! Thanks so much to Paul & Lorraine Gillard ... I couldn't be happier with this little guy :)

Without further ado, I'd like to introduce Xander, my new baby :D (please excuse the absurd number of pictures... hehe...what can I say, I'm a proud new mommy... :))

Here's the pic that made me fall in love with him before ever meeting him in person :)

Still in his little dish after arriving at his new home:

Relaxed enough to explore a little bit...

[BoidKeeper]

He has a really amazing pattern! Nice animal, make an excellent addition to my collection:p
Congrats,
Trevor

[Zhakrin]

LOL,

I know what you feeling...It is just pure joy finding a little jem like that and bringing him home.

I almost bought a beautiful female off of Paul & Lorraine. She was gorgeous. Very unusual pattern an almost a glowing yellow color.

But alas stupid me decided he wanted to see the other vendors before buying her and LIKE a Vulture someone snatches my beautiful little girl.

LOL just joking...congrat to the guy that bought her and I will continue my hunt.

BTW Paul felt really bad about it all and was a true gentleman.

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Boid! :) I really like his pattern too... that's what made me pick him :) I'm afraid that he won't be coming to live with you though -- hehe -- he's definitely staying with me!

You bet Zhakrin! I'm so excited... hehe... it's all I can do to restrain myself from going and pestering him... I know I need to let him settle in for about a week before I try handling him really, but damn is it ever hard to resist the temptation! LOL :)
I think I know which girl you're talking about -- she was beautiful! :) If I'd been looking to get a pair, she definitely would've been coming home with me -- hehe.
Paul was great! Very helpful... and they were nice enough to keep Xander aside for me until I got to the show -- definitely happy with their service, wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again :) They also said I should write them if I ever had any questions... I'm sure I'll be doing that.. LOL.

You know -- ReneeB has a very nice female BP for sale -- 8 months old I think? She looked quite nice :) If I hadn't been looking for a male instead of a female, I probably would have snatched her up... You could also try Corey Woods... he sent me some pics of some males that he had for sale, and they were pretty impressive :) He just didn't send them fast enough -- LOL... I had already fallen in love with Xander ;)

[jay76]

That is one stunning bp! Too bad I was looking for the corn of my dreams or I'd have got him before you could (LOL!) You made a great choice. Couldn't have been easy with all the beautiful choices you had :). Paul and Lorraine are definitely getting more business from me... maybe a variable king next time :)

Xander's a kick a** beauty! I'm more than a little jealous :)

[Clownfishie]

Why thank you! :) Hehe... As IF I would've let you get him... *grins*. But feel free to be jealous all you want ;) LOL....

[Linds]

Very cute! Congrats on your first (and most certainly not last ;)) snakie! :D

[Clownfishie]

LOL Linds -- nope, definitely not the last ;) Hehe... In fact, I'm all set to buy a beautiful BRB from Jeff once I move out west in a few weeks :D Although she's going to be living with him for a while until I get my new place -- getting ONE snake into my parents house is going to be fun enough, nevermind 2 ;)
And thanks! Not that I'm biased or anything, but I think he's damn cute... hehe... :D

[aaron]

Your getting quite the collection going there clownfishie!!! Damn fine lookin bunch of kids! Congrats on the new addition and I can see you love him as much as I love mine!:D

aaron

[Tim_Cranwill]

Congrats. He looks like a great guy! Just be careful. I only intended to get one snake, but which type? And they're cheaper in pairs? Hmmmm..... Now I have 15!!!! ;)

Good luck!

[Quervo]

Clownfishie .. he is AWESOME. That is an amazing pattern.
I know what you mean about letting then be for a week .. it is haaaaaaard!! I'm hoping to get a new litte female on tues .. hehe .. We can swamp everyone with "kid" pictures.:D

[Clownfishie]

Thanks everyone! :D

Tee hee Cranwill -- I know ;) Well, I only intended to get one snake too -- unfortunately in the process of researching which ONE to get, I came up with a decent sized list of species that I really like... LOL :) I knew it was all over then ;) The BRB is next ... I'd also like to get an IJCP, and a solomon island ground boa... and what the hell, something else will probably end up on the list too ;)

Quervo -- Thank you!!! :D Like I said, I'm in love -- hehe :) I LOVE his pattern... can't see to get enough of staring at him ;) I'm very proud of myself for mostly doing it through all the pictures I've taken instead of continuously popping the lid off of his enclosure though... hehe :) Can't wait to see pics of your new girl! It's a deal -- they'll never know what hit 'em *grins*. And then just when they thought it was safe to come on to the forum again -- we'll swamp them AGAIN with new pictures.... tee hee :) Wonderful master plan!
