My boyfriend and I spent the entire weekend around the state to pick up an Exo Terra viv from Craigslist, then Ruby herself! We also stopped at a few reptile/aquarium stores for supplies since the only pet store locally is PetCo, bleh.
Poor Ruby...she is a 3-year-old reverse Okeetee corn who was not given the best of care by her former owners. She is underweight (loose skin, bit of her spine can be felt), too small for her age, and was left her on the porch for me to pick up. She had been sitting in a small tank with no substrate all week, and when I lifted her hide, she was sitting in a shallow pool of water that she had pooped in. They got rid of her because they got "bored" of having a snake.
Needless to say she is now in a GORGEOUS, warm, cozy viv with lots of substrate, hides, and plants! She will be tested at the vet next week for parasites.
Ruby is currently enjoying hiding deep in her mossy cave, but I managed to snap a few photos yesterday. After hiding for a little while in her cork round (which she loooooves), she spent over an hour exploring every inch of her viv. I am in love!!
P.s. I didn't realize how small she would be and purchased some Large accessories that I will be listing for sale here over the next few days. If you live in PA, keep an eye out!
