She's currently being kept for me at BWSmith's house till my house is finished. Then she will come home.



Originally, I had two of her brothers too. They too had deformed tails. There was an accident involving a bad thermostat on the incubator when they were in eggs. It went over 100 degrees for a little while and all of them came out with bad tails. I wasn't the breeder so I don't know exactly how that happened. They were nearly 3 feet when I got them. All sweethearts. All otherwise healthy...though one of the males did have a little prolapse problem and ended up having to have his musk glands amputated. Here's the 3 of them together.

awwwww! mickey and mouse. they were so cute but to wiggly.

They were more fun when they were triplets....but I had to do some major trimming down and was forced to play favorites. Too wiggly? naaaa There's an upside to snakes that aren't slugs too. Your comfort zone is with the slugs. Mines with the more active...Odd how you being as active as you are prefer the slugs and me being as sluggish as I am prefers the speedsters eh?
