Beautiful mink. Treasure in particular but then I have a soft spot for boas!

No. He will be about 2 feet I believe. I have heard some getting up to 3 feet but not sure about that.

Saw your comment after posting Danny lol

Thank you. Treasure is pretty awesome for sure. Can't wait to see the hog island all grown!

Oh cool, what's their temperament normally like when not grumpy?

**Minkness** · 07-25-16, 04:15 PM

Hmmm....he starts out in a defensive strike pose, but then nothing happens when I pick him up. He relaxes almost instantly and is what I'd say is medium activity and calms down even more to just hang out in my hand. I got him from the shop because he was known for launching his tiny self at people's faces. He bit me at the store, but since I got him home he's been super easy. Bot really sure what got into him yesterday, but it's hardly a turn off lol.

Also, he's never turned down a meal and sheds super easy!

Thanks for the info

There is a show in sept that I'd like to pick up a second snake at. I'm just not sure what yet. I don't want anything really big and well his looks caught my eye.

He is pretty cool though =)

Lots of snakes to choose from though. Can't wait to see what you pick up!

Yeah I need to sort of narrow it down so I'm not going in there blindly. I want to have something set up before hand. And I have a 20 gallon long stand just sitting in my closet doing nothing.

Well, as the master of 'impulse' buying, it's not the worst thing ever to not have a clue and go with your gut in the moment. Just have a tub picked out with the right sized UTH and then pick up needed supplies while at the show. =)

Pretty much all of my newbies start out in tubs with the exceptionof my boa who I got online and didn't realize just how big he was, and the new gopher snake, for same reason. Luckily I just have ao much stuff collected, it didn't matter much and both got pretty nice set ups in less than 15 mins lol.

Oh I've done that. How I ended up with a few of my leopard geckos haha. I mean I could walk in there going I want a snake and end up walking out with a bearded dragon haha.

**Minkness** · 07-25-16, 11:30 PM

Hahaha!

I want to go to the show next speing when I have some money and get some good deals on enclosures. Working on getting away from tanks if possible. =)
