New additions :)

I'm really not that interesting, so I'm sure no one has noticed the changes in my signature. Over the past few weeks I sold my Rosy, (just didn't enjoy him, think I'd like a KSB better) and also sold my Okeetee. I added a Wild Type and cash on the Okeetee sale. I didn't put a picture up of the Wild because it's one of those that people try to pass of as an Okeetee, but isn't. Just a run of the mill snake.

Anyway, I got a good deal today on a yearling Cal King, and an adult Florida King - both female. The yearling seems pretty tame, but the Adult is feisty. As soon as I put her in her new enclosure she shed completely. I measured it, she's about 4 1/2ft. Rough measurement on the yearling 20-22". The seller, who is a local Ball dealer mentioned he was just trying to move these snakes, and doesn't deal with them much - so they haven't eaten in 2 weeks...This with the shed might be contributing to the attitude of the adult. I normally feed on Sundays, but since these two have not had anything to eat, does anyone think I should try to give them a bite before Sunday? (no pun intended)

I had the yearling out for a minute, but forgot to get a good picture. I didn't want to disturb them too much, and with the FL King being so defensive...I figured I'd just get a sub par cell phone of the yearling in her enclosure, and just post up the sellers pic of the adult. Here they are in not so great quality.

Did I mention the adult was really defensive?



Hit me a couple of times, not the first, won't be the last. She is still a doll though.
