Pics of the little dude as promised.....plus a few others

He eats like there's no tomorrow, so I think we're doing good!

**yep, that's a pool cue ball in the background**


I don't know if I'll end up keeping this little guy in the long run, but I've had a blast putting a round tummy on this guy

And here's one of Big Red, in his just-shed-glory

And this little spark plug just shed too...growing like a weed!

Take care everyone!

I really like the pattern on the little guy, but I'm wondering how he's going to color up. Ha, guess that's what every blood keeper wonders, huh?

I paid $95 for the little guy, which I was pretty happy about, but with that comes the fact that I have no idea what his parents look like. He seems a bit dark to me, so I don't know if he'll turn out a real nice red or not. Gotta love this about the bloods...they keep ya guessing!

Nice looking little guy there.When did you get him.I thought you just got that new awesome borneo.Addicting these guys are.I'm looking into a new red blood right now.I shouldn't be but heck whats one more mouth to feed.

drummagirl Jan 19, 2005 12:10 PM

I think the time span between me recieving those two was about an entire month. *hangs head*...yep, I have no self control!

I've had this little bugger since around thanksgiving. Didn't really post much about him. He came in pretty rough...cold as an icecube with his skin hanging in folds off of him. I wasn't smart enough to get a hatch date from the seller, but I really don't think he was that far past hatching. So I was holding off pictures and everything until I was sure the little guy was healthy.

Hey, there is ALWAYS room for one more It's not our fault they're addicting..right?

Love the little striped one and big red looks great as usual, nice looking carpet as well, bloods are so cute as chubby little babies lol.

Hey Carole,
Very nice! I think he should be a keeper. And Big Red, is looking marvelous too, not to mention, your carpet.

Sometimes you have to juggle things around & make sacrifices to land a snake you really want.

Assuming that people just have a surplus of money is kind of silly!

More like knowing how to budget your money. That little guy was $95..which is why I was able to nab him. Rockstar was a trade, as was Delilah. The last blood that I actually paid cash for was almost a year ago.

I'm a college student...surplus money isn't a word in my vocabulary

pythonis Jan 20, 2005 01:27 PM

well yeah 95 is cheap. i paid 65 forRambo. actually i wascomparing those people who for example work at mcdonalds and those who work at (lets say) boeing or microsoft. and of course my roommate is a ball addict so she is constantly talking $10,000 morphs. i guess i automatically started thinking albinoes and ivories.

You need to warn us when you say stuff like that. Guys at work don't understand sudden out bursts of laughter.

So what else does being a member of boobs (or is that with boobs) get you?

I knew I was getting the short end of the stick

no pun intended....well kinda

I agree Got to love feeding and growing the little ones they seem to be so much more..... well.... vigorous I guess would be a word. I don't know its just differant to me.

love the adults color, love the babies personality, Just all around the perfect snake in my opinion. GO FATTIES

How are you and your carpet getting along? at least they are alittle more active and I guess OK looking

Thanks for all the kind words kevin

lol, yeah....carpets...hmmm. The funny thing is when I take people through a tour of my reptile room, the jungle gets the greatest reaction out of anyone. Usually a "Wow, the pattern is trippin!" or "That thing is wicked looking!".

Jungles are a snake I had been looking at for awhile. I mainly took that girl just to see what I would think of the morelia family. Final thoughts....they're OK. Honestly, I'm waiting for spring weather so that I can trade/sell this girl off.

Later!
