got my new rtb!

[herpchick]

Well I had chosen two species and narrowed it down to a columbian rtb baby. Then I had decided on just a plain Jane boa.... when I got an email from a guy about an albino male he was looking to revoke with a recessed eye injured from shavings..... so I went and took a look at it this morning and.... its mine!!

I paid $30 for the little guy who is a little underweight ( no biggie) he must eat good as he took a gigantic dump on me at work today. And his eye problem def looks to be a genetic defect as it lacks pigment and is recessed but can move as usual still not sure exactly if he can see or not. But he is such a little sweetheart.

I will post pics tomorrow asap.

Also need a good male snake name.

Congratulations! I commend you for taking on this little guy and his challenges! Can't wait to see pics.

[alessia55]

Aw, congrats on your new snake! Can't wait to see the pics :) It's hard to offer names when the pics aren't up yet ;)

[exwizard]

Thats awesome! Congrats. You will be very happy with him. :)

[Strutter769]

How about naming him "Captain," or "Jack Sparrow" or somethin' pirate-like? (Sort of a play on having one eye. Too corny?)

[Norm66]

Congrats!

Roy I was right there with you with pirate names.

Sounding the controversy and division this has caused on the forum...

I think it is only befitting to call the new boa.................................


Carpet :D


Congrats on the new snake herpchick... can't wait to see the pics.

New snakes are always good boa, retic, corn, carpet or whateva... they all make you smile when you have a new snake.

[herpchick]

Lmao red ink i will make carpet his middle name ;)

But i do have to say it was love at first sight. I had to take him to work with me and i was very reluctant on letting people hold him

[SnakeyJay]

Congrats :D... How come you "have to" take him to work etc?... Surely if he's just moved he needs time to settle in before you start taking him on long walks.

[herpchick]

I "had to" because I picked him up on my way to work and didn't have time to rush him home I wish I had but today was the last day to meet the guy before he went off on vacation. Believe me the poor little guy isn't going on any more walks for a few months

Carpet-- lmfao

Can't wait to see pics either! And I agree! A new animal always makes me smile. :) And watching them grow into healthy adults makes for a bigger smile :)

[hellosugaree]

When you get bored of him and are ready for a real snake, let me know and I'll direct you to some carpet breeders.

Why not feed him one larger prey item instead of two small? Were you unable to get bigger ones at the moment?
