Picked up a male today

Picked up another '10 CH Sumatran blood this morning at a local reptile expo, a male this time. He's not as chubby as I'd like but he is active and alert. Very active, especially for a blood....He's been busy exploring all day and doesn't want to sit still long enough for me to get a decent picture. Maybe once he's settled in I can get one of him.



He's darker than Cheyenne (I named him Denver), and while she (Cheyenne) has nice clean browns and tans, he has a salt and pepper speckling in his browns as well as a few "ghost" spots on his spine. It's a terrible picture but the only one that came out halfway decent. He is really a good looking snake, I just need to plump him up a bit.



At the expo there was one breitensteini, probably an '09, and one seller had four '08 or '09 orange head curtus. The blacks were nice, but not what I was looking for today.



There were only three brongs there (all males), this one, another one that was a bit fatter but didn't really seem too attentive (and maybe even a bit disoriented) and then one that was quite a bit darker and had a nicer pattern but was too thin and just didn't "do it" for me. He was a bit lethargic as well. Denver popped out of his Solo cup and screamed "Take me home!" while dancing a jig on my arm.



Here's a couple of pics, the first one is Denver wandering around his tank and the bottom one is Cheyenne, the same image as earlier in the thread but just used to compare the two. Nothing too fancy but they're mine.
