The animals I ordered finally came in yesterday.
Got a baby corn for a friend for his girlfriend's birthday. Sadly he took off with it before I had a chance to snap a pic. I'm going to try to get one out of him later. That snake is probably the tiniest baby I've ever seen!
I got this creepy crawly for a friend. He's been wanting one and since I was ordering my own animals, I offered to get him one. He was going to pay me for him when he picked him up today, but I told him Merry Late Christmas/Happy Early Birthday and to take that money and get his new pet some habitat stuff, mainly substrate. He's happy with it (not sexed) and promptly named it Poker lol. I'm glad he came and got it! I'm not fond of creepy crawlies and this one had me a little freaked out with it here. lol
Poker, an Emperor Scorpion
For myself I've been wanting another Columbian RTB. I really loved the one I used to have (I rehomed it when my ball python passed). She's very sweet, doesn't mind being handled at all right now. But I'm still going to give her some time to get used to her surroundings. I haven't thought of a name for her but I'm sure I'll find one soon according to her personality
Last but not least..and she has already been named Nom Nom. I got a Cali King. As much as my old one (which I rehomed to a friend who loved him) intimidated me when I first got him, I missed his tail rattling huff and puffy-ness with no bite lol. He was definitely an interesting keep and one to interact with
This one is already proving no difference, except she DOES bite! Haha! She was striking at everything that moved as soon as I got her out of her little bag. When I put her in her quarantine tub I had set aside for her I realized it was way too small. I left her alone for a little hoping she'd calm down some so I could move her to one she could stretch out in. I got that one set up and the boyfriend held her while I adjusted it a bit. She was really good with him, being a little curious and calm considering how she was earlier. It wasn't until he moved to put her in her new cage that she decided she didn't want to go, backtracked up his hand, turned around, and promptly bit his finger! She didn't let go but she didn't wrap either. He sat still waiting for her to let go. Instead she turned her head and tried to eat his finger! haha! She only got a little in, not passed the nail, and stopped. I tried spraying her with water, and water mixes and she either wouldn't or couldn't let go. We tried waiting her out but still no release. Slowly he managed to work his finger out of her mouth without hurting her. The bite didn't even leave a mark on him.
It's going to be interesting to see how their relationship develops. He didn't think he'd care the king, but she's really piqued his interest biting him like that
