You guys are bad, bad, bad and I should not go to my favorite reptile store, when I'm frustrated... comfort shopping is not good, but it was The Tied-Dyed Iguna or Burger King... I chose Tied-Dyed.
Meet my newest addition, a male (I believe) Sunglow Striped Motley, who will probably be named MacLeod. He was just hatched the middle of November, so just about five weeks old, weighing in at 6grams and measuring 9.925."
Both parents are Sunglow Motleys and he is a full sibling to the Sunglow, Tessa, that escaped last year. The petstore bought the pair from the breeder and didn't not realize that the female was gravid. Only three of her clutch hatched out and all three were Sunglow Motleys. The other two were smaller than this one and not eating consistently, but did have "better" motley patterns. This guy was out and watched me for the longest time, but sliding under the waterdish. Then when I got him out to hold him, he just laid there calm as can be... I've never had a snake like that... they've all tried doing high-dives out of my hands... so he came home with me. A snake that I finally might be able to play at the computer and not worry about him trying to make his escape.
The fellow and his wife that owned the store told me that they hadn't really decided to sell the fellow and had actually turned a couple of people down who wanted to buy him, but knew I would give him a good home, so decided to let him go. He was a little expensive possibly for a Sunglow, but I got the last one for the price of a normal, so I'm probably still ahead
The pictures I took didn't turn out very well... I really don't know how Lore gets such great shots with this camera... sigh.... but here are a couple I could salvage. Sunday I'll take more when it's time for him to eat again.
Burger King would have been cheaper :bang:
