New Arrival!

[Snakesitter]

It's new stock season at Living Gems Reptiles, and over the next few weeks I wanted to share with you some of the exciting new animals that have joined our ranks, both by purchase and (if all goes well!) holdback.

First up is a new, as-yet-unnamed, adult male. One of the *rare* specimens we have not had and raised since birth, he was acquired for the striking contrast between his background and pattern coloration. His age is estimated at six years (though he looks younger to me), and his weight -- as of his very first weigh-in with us this past July -- was 1221 grams.

Here he is as of his early July arrival at Living Gems:
