New atb's :)

Yesterday I went and picked up 3 more atb's for my group. 1.1 adult (4.5 and 5 years), and a yearling female.
The big ones are grey/green phase, and the toddler is yellow, but with pretty heavy black patterning.

The previous owner claimed that he had gotten them probed at a vet, and that the biggest one was indeed the male, just as he had thought. Sounds like a crock to me, as he showed me the 'male's' last shed skin which measured a little less than 7 feet in length, and I never heard of or seen a male as huge as this one is.

It's bulk also gives the impresion of 'expecting mother', as it's a fair deal thicker than my wrist, and im not too scraggly...

What's sad tho, is that when I picked them up, all 3 were stuffed inside a tiiiny petbox, about 8 x 16 x 6 inches in size, and it looked like they'd been there for a while without cleaning.

The toddler is severely undernourished, and has a serious shedding issue, which I'll try to sort out with regular baths twice every day for the next few weeks.

All in all tho, they all seem quite docile and handlable at this time, but that will likely change as they get some heat into them, and some space to move around and climb

I am unable to post any pictures of them at this time, as all my new arrivals get covered tanks for the first 2 weeks.

The 2 mature ones are named Monica and Bill, and together with my female 'Hillary', they complete my 'Clinton' breeding project.

I'll keep you all updated with pics as I get them.

Thanks /Quensel
