New Acquisitions Thread
Every self-respecting motorcycle forum has a "new purchase thread," and I never understood why most reptile forums don't, seeing how any new acquisition is always an über-exciting event.
Now, it wouldn't make sense to start this type of thread without a new acquisition, so I quickly ran out and made a random purchase.  Ok, maybe it wasn't entirely random or quick, but it is valid all the same...
This is a proven male Surinamese Boa constrictor (you can never have too many ), Pokigron locality, produced by Gus Rentfro. I'm having to borrow the seller's (kinda crappy) pic for this celebratory post, since he is not being shipped until next week, but I'm sure I'll be able to capture him in proper lighting in his full glory once he gets here.
Your turn. 
PS: Moderators, please move this thread into the proper forum. Apparently I was too excited to pick the right one...

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
Well I won't be posting any pictures of new arrivals for some time but I have finally worn the wife down enough to agree that when we move house and I have my own office, den, man cave, I can get a couple more snakes!
And as always nightflight a beautiful snake. Don't you just love BCC's / BCC's?!

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
I think it's mainly because members tend to dedicate a whole topic to one new acquisition. That Suriname boa constrictor is gorgeous!

Yup, pretty much this. For me, anyways.
But for the spirit of this thread, and because I didn't want to start my own threads with the breeder's photos I'll share them here instead.
I'm expecting two new BRBs, but I'm not expecting them until March at least. Whenever the weather stabilizes and warms up. It can go from nearly 70F to 20F at night, not good shipping weather, and I already saw someone lose a boa in the mail up in WV I think it was. It arrived dead from a sudden cold snap.
This is the female hypo BRB.
And this is the male Picasso stripe, he's a sibling from the Picasso girl I lost a few months ago.

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
These days, I rarely get new snakes unless I produce them here but, this male Jungle was an exception.
He's in shed too. Haha. I post better pictures when he sheds.

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
Woohoo - success!!! Mrs Danny has caved in (or lost the will to live!).
Deposit paid on this stunning Eyed Lizard (TIMON LEPIDUS) and should have him at home by the end of the month.
Managed to get a cracking secondhand viv for £40 with pretty much everything I need. Will upgrade the stat in a couple of months but just about good to go.
Store photo for now...

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
The photo hardly does him justice. Really striking iridescent blues on the 'eyes'. He's only a wee thing as well atm but should colour up more and more as he gets older.
The store reckons he'll be a big boy as well - bearded dragon size when full grown.
Can't wait to get him home...

Re: New Acquisitions Thread
Wow! Congrats! I really think it's what I know as a jewled lacerta or something like that lol. I saw some at a pet store once and fell in love. Maybe one day I'll have one, but for now the plan is to gwt a trio of crock skinks and a pair of abronia. So...loooots of saving up to do. XD
Looking forward to pics when you get the new guy!
