Woot woot woot!

Ball python #2 is arriving Wednesday morning. Here she is:





She's a Mojave morph (and yes, it's a she). It's hard to tell with the white background and the flash washing her out, but Mojaves are darker and have brighter yellow patterns that just get darker and more yellow as they get older. She's 110 gr, so she's a little tinier than Indy and she's eating live and frozen mice. I think I'm going to try to keep her on frozen. We haven't decided on a name for her yet. She'll be cohabitating with Indy as his tank is kind of spacious, but we've been warned that might stress them a little. So if one of them gets finicky about food it might be time for emergency additional tank. But, I've been pretty lucky with BP's being good eaters.

We got her from RC Reptiles, which I very much recommend. The rest aren't as professional and communicative. To quote Ron, his snakes are the Mercedes of ball pythons. He made a believer out of me.
