New Female

SincereArtisan Jan 07, 2007 08:04 PM

I recently aquired this w/c gravid female. I picked her out because there was just something so stunning about her high-contrast patterning. The more I look at her, the better she gets. She brings to mind the coloration of a cinny pastel or mohave. Either way, she's a pretty girl. What do you think?

She is pretty !!!

I would double check her tho - she has at least one tick that I can see right off.

Good Luck!

I know they look like ticks, the speck behind her head and the speck on her side, but both are actually random dark scales. Both spots have had us looking again and again, double-checking to be sure its JUST a scale. And it is.

She's been soaked well and checked for mites, her new enclosure has been treated, and is quarantined (sp?) away from all the rest of my snakes for a time.
