Tell me more about my new baby

katb100 Jun 23, 2005 01:08 AM

I know a picture would help and I hope to get one in pc soon, but I just bought a new baby girl from local pet shop and noticed that her eyes looked different from others. Instead of having all dark, normal eyes.. her upper half of eyes ( the part that has the golden stripe across it) is gold as well. Makes her look a little more ehhh.. should I say it.. evil?? She's great and has a really bright gold color with brighter yellow color on bottom with very distinct white outlines coming from underneath. I bought her because she looked different from the others that I have seen. Her litter (clutch) mates had same color with some having the bright salmon color as well.

Hope to have pictures of our "family" soon. My son (15) has always wanted a snake and I relunctantly gave into purchase of a 3 y/o female. Now I AM HOOKED!! I love them. We have a total of three now... the 3 y/o female( Miss Piggy)... a 1.5 y/o female (LuLu) and our new baby( Cheeto).

Any help on type of bp I have would be appreciated! Thanks!
Kathy

Congrats on your new addition!!! Theya re like potatoe chips it's hard to stop at just one! Sounds like you got a pretty girl! The salmon color usually fades with age and the split eye is pretty normal several of mine have them too on some its gold on some its silver some brown - I think it's a natural camoflauge thing. Anyway congrats again - post a picture when you get one!
