My wife at first was interested in sand boas, but when she got into researching them she changed her mind. I suggested she start looking into ball pythons and corn snakes since the one thing she's really not into is getting bit.
If I would have had to guess I would have thought a colorful corn morph would have been what she decided on but she fell in love with a friend our friend Shannon's smallest BP, Sidney (it fits our Pittsburgh sports theme as Sidney Crosby is the captain of the Penguins) in large part because Sid is a somewhat picky eater but has eaten twice for Becky already. After some discussions Shannon decided to give Sid to Becky since she has three BPs. I'm going to buy a couple bags of pinkies for Shannon at the next expo even though she was just glad to give Sid to Becky.
I'm really proud right now, we bought all the stuff for Sid's enclosure last night and Becky's spent the past hour or so getting it just right, it's almost done in fact. We'll spend a few hours making sure all is ready and we're going to pick Sid up around 4 or 5 this afternoon.
Here's a pic of the enclosure:
It's currently sitting on a rubbermaid tub w/ styrofoam under it as a spacer until we get something built for the snakes. It's not pretty but it is functional. We're also going to paint the back and sides of the tank to make him feel a little more secure.
