Meet Stormy, Spilotes pullatus
I have had Stormy about a month now, and she has gone through her quarantine well. She will still be quarantined for another week at least, but I wanted to get some pictures of her up to show everyone. She has been a very friendly and curious snake, albeit a bit flighty. She gets rather defensive in her cage, but calms down once out. Stormy has been in captivity a little over a year, and she was owned by a veterinarian who fully dewormed her and treated her for all internal parasites, so Im hoping that she does well for me. Spilotes are very rewarding, but they can be heartbreaking when things dont go well- there are very few people who have had success breeding them, so most are wild caught imports.
