BRB on the way!!!!

[DeesBalls]

so my BRB is about 1.5 hours away from the delivered time!

i cant wait, thought i would start a thread on her now. curretnly in a 64qt tub, but looking for a nice cage for her, as she will be a pet, and nothing to do with breeding.

pics will come as soon as she is delivered, and maybe an unboxing video! then she is off to rest for a week or so.

nope.. like picking up a puppy... i was all set to get a little love nibble too. lol.

[snake man12]

So what size prey are you gunna feed her

[DeesBalls]

rat fuzzies, or i have some smaller frozen prey items for the 1st feeding.

Very nice! Looks like her parents may be really nice orange maybe?

[DeesBalls]

yes- from the pics i seen, both the dad (HIllis- if your familiar with snakesitters posts, and the mom Alexandrite) both look pretty orange, she is a little dark right now, i think she will be going into shed too.

very nice ! what is her size and weight and age?

not sure off the top of my head, ill have to look at her care card...


but here is some bite pics. i moved her from her 64 qt tub to a smaller 15 qt, the 64 wouldnt get a good temp, so i didnt want it, the 15 is smaller, and crammed, but good warmth and humidity...

she was nice out of the bad, but while i was digging around for her, i hit her right on the nose so i made her mad... few bites and i picked her up and she was fine... shes off in her new lil home now:)

Congratulations, a lovely looking BRB and she has shown her love for you already :)

[Tekpc007]

i have noticed once they are in their hide or moss , they get nippy . i usually have to touch him gently so he balls up then scoop him out and wait for him to wake up a bit then he isnt nippy but if i reach down and grab at him he strikes lightning fast.

[Snakesitter]

She's looking good, Dereck! Glad to see she made it in one safe and happy piece! Good job capturing her iridescence, by the way!!! :D

[Snakesitter]

I'd go with one smaller meal for the first one, then continue with rat fuzzies. After all, looks like she already had an appetizer of finger... ;-)

[Snakesitter]

Wups! :::shamed breeder ;-)::: She's usually really friendly! If she bites you again in the future, pick her up and hold her for a moment or two, just to teach her that biting does not mean freedom.

[Snakesitter]

With mine, I've found it's all in the approach. If I am confident and gentle, and do not threaten the head, I can pick them up pretty much any time -- even a mid-body pick from above. Provided, that is, I've not been using that "rat-scented handsoap".... ;-)

Again, I'm thrilled she made it safe and sound and that you like her. Thank you again for your business.

[DeesBalls]

thanks you all for the comments... i will be using a smaller meal for the 1st meal in my possesion (as you said in email Cliff, ) as for the bitting.. it was my fault, i could not find her in the 4-5'' of cypress multch, and when i did find her, i bumped her right in the head... after the 4-5 bites, i picked her up for about 5 min. while i changed over her tubs.. and shes been in there ever since.. currently 81 warm side, and 74 cool side. hihg humidity (tub is soaked)....

thanks again Cliff! i am not going to be intimidated by her like i was my other one, she was mean (when sick/not doing so well)

[DeesBalls]

She's looking good, Dereck! Glad to see she made it in one safe and happy piece! Good job capturing her iridescence, by the way!!! :D

Thanks, gotta love my cell phone camera!
