Skunk in fresh skin!

Will0W783 · 09-27-10, 08:10 AM

I finally got some pictures of my tri-stripe coastal carpet male, Skunk, last night. I found him on Craigslist with a cage and all supplies for less than I've paid for normal BPs! As soon as I saw him I knew he was special- he has a very neat zipper-pattern to his dorsal stripe, and striking cappuccino and cream colors. He's going on two years old now and growing like a weed, and eating like a horse. Sorry the pics are not that good, they are just with a cell phone. I can't find the transfer cord for our good DSLR camera. Better pictures are coming, I promise!

He musked me at first whenever I'd try to get him out. He has calmed down very nicely now, but he was a bugger at first. I've only had him for about 3 months, so no, you haven't seen him yet. I've been talking to people about him and getting information on the different lines, and a good friend who knows his stuff saw him last night and couldn't stop raving, so I figured I'd better start showing him off..lol.
Craigslist can be your best friend in the herping world!

You have to type in "snake" or "python" or "boa" under the pets section. It's hit or miss. I check it about once a week when I'm looking for new additions.

Very nice markings on him and I love the name.
