New Addition! Introducing Hydra

[lady_bug87]

Sooo I went to the store to pick up feeders when a little face caught my eye... well 5 minutes later I had her in my hands

Introducing Hydra, my baby White Sided Bullsnake

pictures to follow tomorrow shes a little stressed from the move so I want her to chill before I start taking pictures BUT she has a feisty attitude love it she scares the bejeeeezus out of me with that amazing hiss such a big sound from such a little lady

That brings my number to 4 snakes and 3 lizards

(don't hate on me for the relatively impulse buy, I know what I am getting myself into with this snake, all my animals are very well cared for, eat properly shed perfectly and are thriving)

Grats, they are pretty fun.

Nice addition! They sure do produce a mighty intimidating hiss.
Does she grow heads? :)

All bar the first two of my snakes were "impulse buys" - as long as you make sure everything is ok husbandry wise and get your reading head on i dont see the problem, i had to wait for vivs to be built and delivered before the snakes actually made it to my house each time so just filled the time with as much reading/research as i could manage.

[lady_bug87]

Thanks she came home with us right away she's sitting in a tub on top of my lizard tanks (makes her temp around 75-80 on the warm side with paper towel substrate which she has crawled under completely ignoring the perfectly good hide I made out of a small box.... its a pretty big tub so she will be ok in there for a while until I get my proper vivs set up (picking up some free tanks lol)

I started reading as sooon as I got her home and so far I have everything right mostly by chance and well pror knowledge and experience her humidity should be around 50% from what I read and its about that normally in my condo I will likely give her a little spray later

[jarich]

She is a pretty little thing! I can see why you had to have her

[lady_bug87]

[lady_bug87]

I managed to snap a better picture of Hydra this morning so I thought I would share!

[millertime89]

[SpOoKy]

Awesome, I have a whitesided bull also! Not sure if I have any pics, I will try to snap a few in the next few day's. Enjoy, I love the bull snakes, great eaters, great explorers, awesome hissers, wicket tail rattle and a big big attitude to go along with. lot's of fun, congrats.

[alessia55]

In that last picture she looks real silver-y. Does she still have attitude or is she settling down a bit?

[lady_bug87]

nope shes great no hissing in the last couple days she is staying mostly in her hide she doesnt come out much I think she is still trying to settle in I wont be feeding her until she starts wandering around
