Jade again... newly shed

gerryg Nov 11, 2012 02:54 PM

Yes I know it wasn't that long ago I posted pictures of her for the brazillionth time but... have I mentioned what a good looking girl she is?

This coming Tuesday I will finally have the male hondurensis and abnorma... wait until you see those two... the hondo is a very handsome devil!

Wow Gerry. Jade is a beauty that's for sure. Keep the pictures coming!

Thanks Dave... don't encourage me with the pics though. I can honestly say I wouldn't mind folks here posting pics of their snakes whenever they had the urge... I just have hard time believing most folks don't get a little tired of it when I do it.

You btw should put up some of those Sinaloans more often... never get tired of seeing those!

As far as I'm concerned, Gerry, you can post your snakes every day if you want to. How big is that girl now?

So I can blame you for my not getting a male hondurensis this year? I'll remember that, buddy...

I've measured her twice during the last 6 months... 6'4" one time 6'6" the other... damn hard to get all the kinks out of her.

Cole I am sorry you didn't get a male hodurensis this year... Scott did tell me there would be one guy that would be disappointed this year but never mentioned it was you... it isn't my fault though. There were two males after all,I got first pick so... the person that took the second one is who you want to blame.

I'm going to feel a little bad now when I post a picture of him now knowing you're that one guy.

Yeah, I'm disappointed, but that's OK. He'll hook me up next year.

No need to feel bad about posting that male hondurensis when you get him - a little salt in the wound will let me know I'm alive!

Jade is spectacular, man. Post that girl as often as you can!

Stunning and gorgeous.

Great looking Gaigae, Gerry...! Next time you post a photo, include the terrarium in its entirety -- it's a nice setup.

gerryg Nov 13, 2012 03:02 AM

Thanks and I will keep that in mind for you.

One of the main reasons I don't do that is because of the big black water bowl and plastic plant saucer that serves as her hide... eye sores in the whole set up.

I've meet someone willing to make fake rock hides... so hopefully during this coming winter that situation can be corrected.

I use a large Exoterra hide cave, and it's fine for the moment, as my Gaigeae is about 52" long now. There is an extra large one that would surely accomodate a full grown black milksnake...

Rob! Nice to see you're still reading the forum. Ed is doing great as well. Like Jade he's now hiding out in the open pretty much full time. He hangs out under some of those plastic hanging plants so he has a little bit of cover.

He just shed a few days ago as well so it was a toss up between postings pics of him or Jade... but when Jade "sat" up like that while I was cleaning up her enclosure... well,you see how things went.

Gerry, keep on posting those pics of Jade, I love 'em! My only two snakes right now are a hypo tricolor Hondo, and a male Black named Tico. I've owned and cared for dozens of snakes, but Tico is the greatest snake I've ever even met. I understand why you're so nuts about your gal! She sure is a looker...

gerryg Nov 13, 2012 06:10 PM

Thank you... truly appreciate the compliments concerning Jade. I'm sure I'll post pics of her a time or two again

She is the most "common" of the snakes I currently have but she is far, far and away my favorite...thank you yet again Nathan.

Gerry
