I cannot believe that my wife now has two snakes with another on the way (a pastel male) while I only have one. Unbelievable. LOL.

Anyway, here's Zeva (so far that's her name) the pinstripe. We got a Christmas deal I guess since it was the last show before Christmas. I didn't think we'd be able to afford such a nice specimen. She seems perfect in every way (though I know the pic does look like there's a kink just above her tail, it's just the picture though).

We're gearing up for a rack system I'm going to build hopefully next weekend so we bought some 16QT tubs. It's just the right size for tiny little guys.

I started out by giving her a little bath. I thought maybe she would be thirsty since she'd been in those display cages and then a bag all day long. Sure enough she spent the first few seconds snorkeling and I'm sure getting a drink.

Thanks all.

Rob, me too but the morphs are growing on me. And Becky loves them.

Kourtney, I really can't answer that. Regular price on her was $300. We paid less than half that. But like I said it was a steal.

Thanks all. She's settling in nicely. Exploring her tub, laying on her hide etc. we'll give her a few days and feed her. Supposedly she's taking rat fuzzies so we bough some to try.

What's crazy is I passed up the only anery motley corn snake at the show today because it wasn't a perfect motley pattern so I bid on and I believe wound up winning an auction for a hypomelanistic boa this evening for $66. I'm officially out of the snake market for a while. Lol.

so now you've got a normal, a pinstripe and an enchi huh?
you'll get a few of these once your pin girl is old enough to breed if you do it.

You'll also get some normals, some enchis, and some pins.

Oh, that's awesome. First one I've seen. We also have a pastel male so we'll have to choose between this and going for a lemon blast (I think that's what it's called). We need to pick up some more females if we're going to breed.

ugh... lemon blast, no contest, but then if you can get a female enchi cross that with the pastel male and make pastel enchis, then send me one.
