New pics of my Aru

cmlreptiles Jan 04, 2006 06:32 PM

This is my little Aru Orochimaru (or Rochi for short, as he's affectionately called at home) at 9 months. Little guys doing good. 2 prolapses in his first 9 months have kept his size down a bit, but he should start growing like a weed soon.

Cute little kid. Are you just guessing on the sex, or did you already probe him?

Just guessing on the sex...wouldn't risk probing him till prob summer, if not early fall. He's small for 9 months, so I'd rather wait and be safe.

You're like me then. I'm hoping Whisper turns out to be a he, and I really hate writing his/her all the time. So I just say he. My luck the little sucker will turn out to be another female

We'll just have to see! I get so attached to my snakes, that I doubt I would trade him off either way. Just have to go buy another chondro......gee, I'm crying!

Haha, I'm the same way. I sold a pair of female grey rat snakes last year that I could not stand having...but was still a little sad when they left lol. I also hate saying he/she, so I just say he. With my biak, I always said "she", and it ended up a he...so I'm hoping if I call the Aru a he, it'll turn out a she and my biak will have a nice gf
