Updated Pics of My Growing Collection

First of all, forgive me for grouping them all together in one picture thread. I'm being lazy, not to mention exhausted from working so much.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Here's FatButt. I kinda sorta rescued him from Petsmart almost a year ago. He was a wee little thing, kind of on the scrawny side but he's growing nicely. He's unsexed, but we call him male lol



Another pic with a can so you can see his size.



This is my daughter's royal, Hanajima. She was purchased from Bob Clark along with my son's royal.





Here's Gaia, my son's royal



Both are females and are really good animals. The only issue I have with them is they both won't switch to rats yet, but will eat multiple mice but only every other week. For the life of me, I cannot get them to eat weekly, whether I offer live or f/t. So, they're not growing as well as I would like, but they eat, so really I'm happy.

Here is our Peruvian Rainbow Boa. She was nippy as hell when we first got her. I have never seen a snake literally launch themselves like a spring until her. I've considered naming her Spring because of it. When we first got her, everytime I opened her tub, she launched herself at me like a spring uncoiling, then try to bite anything that moved until I got her back in her tub lol. She's calmed down ALOT since then and is a real pleasure to handle. She's very curious but not flighty and has a great temperament when handling now.



She always has her tail wrapped around something, even if it's herself.





More.....

Re: Updated Pics of My Growing Collection

Here's a still unnamed Colombian Redtail BCI. She's a pretty typical redtail, her demeanor and personality is like my previous two I had years ago. Very sweet, somewhat shy, and she's becoming more curious. She doesn't like being put down when held and seems to prefer being held to just being out and about. I purchased her at the end of January from Ben Siegel.



I took more pics but she decided she didn't want to pose for the camera and the few I took are too blurry to post.

Here's the infamous (at my house anyway) Nom Nom. When I opened her tub she greeted me like, "Watcha doin' up there?"



She appears to be quite curious as to what humans smell and taste like. lol



Although she hasn't bitten in weeks, I still handle her with my motorcycle gloves when I first get her out. I still don't quite trust her around my fingers as when I take the gloves off, she gets really curious about what the digits really are lol



I usually start her handling sessions with gloves on and as she calms down in my hands, I take them off. I still won't get her out without them on since she still acts like she wants to taste me lol

This is Allie. She's my problem feeder burm. She's such a sweetheart but such a stubborn eater! She refuses rats and rabbit pinks. So I feed her a chick and piggy back a nice sized rat behind it. Most times she lets me without putting up a fuss. Before she was only eating several mice and not getting any bigger, so I'm proud that she's actually getting some size on her. I'm still looking for alternate food sources as I know I really need to get her to eat an appropriate prey on her own.

She does this everytime I open her tub



Awwwww...she has such a cute dinosaur face



She's still a bit on the thin side, but she's really started to get some weight on her.



Aside from her eating issues, she's probably the sweetest of all my animals. She's such a baby lol

Meet Baby Girl. She's a really awesome animal unless she's in shed, then she's quite grumpy. She's a great eater....never misses a meal, nosey for a burm, but really docile. She's my pride and joy since she gives me no problems at all. A truly great animal to have and handle.



She's about 5 feet long now and a clutchmate to Allie. Where Allie is lighter in color, her colors are darker and a bit more defined. Both were aquired from Bob Clark in August '11

Whatcha doin' mommy?







This is Miss Celie. She's one of the two dumerils I helped rescued about 6 months ago. Both came to me a little underweight but regular weekly feedings for a while put some weight on both of them. She's kind of shy, although she doesn't mind being held and will sit for hours wherever I put her.





Here's the unnamed dumerils. She's more curious than the other but is just as docile as Miss Celie. And like Miss Celie, she'll lay in the same spot for hours. When I actually get to sit down and watch something, I always have one of these girls out on my lap. Both are truly lap animals. And honestly, I couldn't be any happier with these girls.

Re: Updated Pics of My Growing Collection

And last, but definitely not least, is Halo. I just recently adopted her. I've always wanted a JCP and jumped at the chance to adopt her. I'm not sure of her age, as she was pretty much an adult when her previous owner got her. She's a little over 5 feet long and an absolute dream to have and handle! She's quite curious, always trying to get into everything when she's out. She loves to get in my face. She seems to love human interaction and absolutely HATES getting put in her tub. She eats anything I throw at her and has an absolute fantastic temperament. I couldn't ask for a better animal.

She's going into shed in these pics and acted like she wanted to be left alone, so I just took a few pics in her tub. The can is there to show her size. I'm not sure but I think she may be a little underweight, but the way she's eating, I know I can get her to a healthy size.





Here's one I took a few minutes ago. She ate 3 medium rats Sunday night (going to get her more appropriate size food when I order again) and still has a nice fat food bump. I love how she's sleeping, all cute with her head tilted, looking quite happy.



I apologize for any spelling errors or mistakes. I'm too tired to proof read.

Hope you guys enjoy seeing pics of my collection. Each have a quality that I absolutely love and makes them unique in their own way. There's nothing I would truly change about them.
