I couldn't help myself!!!!!

His face is really lovable. He's going to need a really sweet name.

I am terrible with names! It took me a week to name my dog Lucy lol...I was calling her "little girl" for a week...finally settled on Lucy, although I wanted something different. I did want a classic name because at the time I had Harrison, so I wanted something classy to go with Harrison lol.

The chondro community has this knack for naming their GTPs, and thus conveniently it's easy to track lineages. Unfortunately, you have to rely on individuals vs having a repository like ACR but it is absolutely nuts on what some of the "regulars" within that community retain of what animals is what and where it came from or has been.

I'm with you though, I've never really been great with naming. Though not seriously superstitious, even having played baseball most of my life, I made the mistake of setting on a theme for my first clutch of GTP eggs back in 2007. 2 weeks later, mom stopped maternally incubating and I had NOTHING in reserve via an incubator for such happening. I quickly got a hovabator up and running, but I'm pretty certain I goofed the temps and humidity. I had babies hatch as I was within the last 2 weeks of incubation when mom came off the clutch, and I started to name them. Not a single one made it. The most annoying part was the strongest one would tease "feed" but 5-10 minutes later I'd find the pinkie on the cage floor. It took 4 months to lose that one. I haven't had chondro eggs since, but I plan to remedy that in the future.

TL; DR...So now I don't name critters until they are established.

so when is this handsome boy coming home?? he has the cutest face!!

so when is this handsome boy coming home??

Well I am currently making a plan to go get the rest of my snakes, so hopefully after that and when it cools off a bit I would say, hopefully within the next month or so? It's ideally up to his breeder as she would need/want to ship him in the most optimal temps...that and I need to get his viv and stuff

Updated pics!!! His breeder sent me these yesterday morning after he shed He is so handsome!!! I love his teeny little 'stache lol...I can't wait to meet him in person!

He is totally adorable. His color is awesome and that face is so engaging!

His color is awesome and that face is so engaging

Right??? His face was what drew me to him lol. I couldn't stop looking at him or thinking about him for a couple days and was so excited when his breeder said he was still available I jumped at the chance to have him lol.

Believe you me, many's the face that's gotten me. That and mannerisms. Ours are like that, so is Rufus. They don't bark or purr, or have paws to put on us...so the way they look at us or hold their head...is really very expressive. It's why I love them so much. Their personality really comes through.

Oh heavens yes! I've been there and totally identify. It doesn't matter if they are expensive or rescues either! When you fall in love, you fall in love.

That boy is a total doll. I'm beyond happy for you.
