Boy has my collection grown FAST!! But I love every one of them in thier own way, and hubby has taken to a couple of them too!!

First I got Khuno, I bought him from a local breeder as a hatchling, he's hard to take pics of since he's so fast, and so white!! the flash bounces off of him and blurs the pic. Khuno is a male 2011 Blizzard (ph blood) at last measuremet, Khuno was 19" long and 13g, but he is about to shed so we'll have to update that soon probably.

Ananta was an adult 2009 female Okeetee I was thinking of buying instead of Khuno, but in the end chose Khuno. After bring him home the lady who had Ananta got in touch with me and said the snake HAD TO GO, when I told her I had chosen a different snake, she started offering me the snake plus all her supplies for an awesome price, I was still saying no until she said "well, I'm gonna have to do something with this thing since nobody wants it". I've heard that phrase in dog rescue and it never ended well for the animal in question. So Ananta came home with us shortly after Khuno did!! Ananta is 36" long and 269g. Ananta is in full blue, so these measurements may have to be changed, very soon!!

Hubby and I attended the fall reptile expo in our area, not really intending to bring anyone home, but keeping my mind open. I more went to talk to the BP breeders about thier piebalds. But I kept walking by this one guy and he caught my eye, over and over, and over. The breeder noticed my interest and started talking about the snake. He asked if I wanted to buy him and I told him outright that I wasn't intending to buy anything that day and had made sure of it by only bringing a certain amount with me. The snake was $70, I had $50. He took it and I brought home a beautiful 2008 male Amel (ph hypo) He's a nice sized boy at 43" long and 420g. we named him Helios.

Last week I got a call from one of my snake food customers, he said that he had 2 corns dropped off to him as "surrenders". A) he doesn't "do" corns, his passions revolve around pythons and boa's. And B) he recently lost his job and is having a time feeding HIS OWN snakes, let alone drop offs. So I told him to drop them off here, if nothing else, with my back shed in operation (breeding colonies) the 2 will never be hungry! This first one we think is a female Anery A, no idea of age but she is is 35" long and weighs 238g we have named her Kamrusepa

The second we think is a male Amel. He is HUUUGE at 52" long and 635g.
We named him Pirwa.

Thanks to you both, Ananta is a beautiful example of an Okeetee, Khuno's breeder said she was a $150 snake (not that I'm selling her)

She definitely is a fine looking Okeetee! Glad that you ended up taking her, by the sounds of it she's much better off with you than she might have been had that lady commited to a "last resort"...

I also look forward to seeing Khuno grow, I love Blizzards :)
