The internet needs more snow
I bought this girl from Port Credit Pets after much debating, and I'm glad I did! Why did I hesitate? Because there aren't any really good photos of snow pines online! Many many snow bulls, but barely any snow pines. I wasn't sure what to expect. So now that I have one, I want to show the world so that nobody else will hesitate before buying one! She's brand new, so I'm going to be leaving her alone for a while, but once she's settled in I'll be posting plenty of photos and videos!
Here are the photos PCPC sent me:
And my first photos, in sunlight:
(got a nice black pine to contrast her, but the internet already has plenty of black pine photos!)
I LOVE the purple saddles towards the tail!
And again with indoor lighting:
She's a squirmy spaz, but not the least bit defensive. The black one is more chill, but a bit huffy. They just arrived by plane this morning, though, so it's hard to judge whether those are personality traits or just stress reactions.

Re: The internet needs more snow
Here's a better shot of the black pine if anyone's curious:
I really hope she keeps that white bib on her chin, because it's adorable!
Both of them are just barely over 2ft. The black is only 81g, but likes to puff up to look bigger, and the snow is 93g. They were both active and comfortable today, so I gave them their first meal today! I decided to try rats on them, even though they've only ever had mice before, and they both ate like champs! Great feeding response.
Seems like I might be able to get started on handling them sooner than I expected! We'll see how they do in the next few days.

Re: The internet needs more snow
Since they're both female I'm expecting around 6ft. I've heard of them getting close to 7ft, but that seems to be a rare occurrence. They'll have some nice girth compared to other colubrids as well. They're at least 9 months younger than my honduran milk snake and already slightly thicker, despite being shorter than the hondo, so they'll be pretty beefy as adults.

Re: The internet needs more snow
Sounds a little like russian rats They are really cool looking, unfortunately in my country they are practically impossible to find so I can't buy one.

Re: The internet needs more snow
I adore russian rats as well, but I can't get any because I'll be moving back to Alberta in a couple years, where they're illegal  Not sure why they would be, but oh well...

Re: The internet needs more snow
I know theyre a SITIES species so you need the permit to have them imported across a border. But didnt think that any kings corns milks bulls rats or pines were actually illegal anywhere in Canada.

Re: The internet needs more snow
prairiepanda, yeah, law can be weird sometimes  In Poland russians are just not "top popular", but you can easily buy them if you want... on the other hand all the bull, pine, mbk or other "american" snakes are really rare or just impossible to find :<

Re: The internet needs more snow
Ya its similar here theres some thing that are popular in other countries but are rarer here IE. diamond carpets are popular in Aus and europe but if youre able to find them here they're quite expensive. Last ones I found were $1800 for a pair.

Re: The internet needs more snow
reptiledude987 wow, that's really a "nice" price... Maybe we should create an international trade system, and find>buy>ship snakes to each others
prairiepanda you just must promise that you will be posting plenty of photos for me so I at least can watch pines
