Wade, that's the guy who drank the cup of thawing mice, instead of his drink, right? LOL

People have been trying to hunt down Wade for about a year now. He's vanished.
We could talk about how much I hate that there's a hurricane coming, Wednesday. Maybe Tuesday night. Headed straight for Rich!

I'm a new guy here. Just got my first Okeetee a week ago. First feeding was last night. I just want to say thank you for all the help I've gotten so far. I'm learning a lot reading the older posts about care and feeding. Don't know if I'll ever get into breeding but I definitely want a second snake.

I was hoping the hurricane would dissipate to just a tropical rainstorm. After Irma I asked on the forum if anyone knew if you were safe, but nobody responded. I hope you guys make it through this one with no damage.

Irma was super stressful. I evacuated with ~50 snakes, one tortoise, one pigeon, two dogs. My work made it super stressful by forcing us to divide into two teams, A and B. B was told they would have to report to work after the all clear, to let Team A go home. (In the past, people just volunteered if they wanted to work- it's good money. Then those of us who wanted to stay home easily could.) Well, a tree fell across the road of the place I evacuated to, so I was trapped anyway. I'm still angry about how my work handled the whole thing. Like, I was already worried about if my house was going to be intact. I didn't need the added stress.

I would have sat out Irma but talk of 9 foot storm surges had the family worried. Then the local authorities said mandatory evacuation. I scrambled to combine the snakes in any containers with lids and place them as high in the rooms as possible. I didn't know where we would end up hunkered down for sure, but we did take our two little dogs.
After the storm passed I loaded the corns back into the racks, but noticed I had put a young male lavender and a young male coral ghost together in the same container. Unfortunately, the lavender has a pink background color like the coral ghost, and the coral ghost has a lavender tint to his saddles. So I checked the eyes and found both males looked the same. Then I checked the belly patterns and, you guessed it, both appear the same. I'm waiting for them to mature so hopefully I can tell them apart.

I've been able to tell look-a-likes apart by weight.

Do you mean one was older, and hence weighed more? That would have worked, except both males were hatched about the same time, and both weigh about the same now. I am assuming the pink background of the lavender will diminish as he matures.
