Progression thread for my Lava Opal!

Today's the day!
He finally arrived, I was like a little kid running around the house waiting lol

This is my 2014 Lava Opal male from the wonderful Stephen Roylance.
Steve was absolutely wonderful with the whole process, from me contacting him to deciding on a snake to answering all my questions to keeping in touch to him arriving- Everything was fantastic and smooth and I couldn't be happier!

Little man came right out onto my hand, was not scared or flighty at all- My very manly boyfriend, pictured, held him and he was a cool cucumber lol.
I am so very pleased with this little baby, I am in love. He has these gorgeous little white bands you can't really see, and since he is almost the color of my skin, pale lol it's hard to photograph him on me :P All in all, I am a lucky girl because this snake is GORGEOUS.

So here are his first photos!
He's now settled into his little hide and is in a dark, warm spot in his new house.

Thank you Mr. Roylance!

Very nice!

Thank you Nanci!
I'm really excited to have him - He's stunning.

Awesome! Can't wait to see pics as he grows.

Don't you worry, I'll be sure to get them on here.
He's going to be breathtaking as an adult!

I wanted to share these photos taken by Steve Roylance- The first one is from his hatchling thread, the day my itty man popped out of his tiny house.
And the next couple are the more recent photos he sent me while we were working out shipping details and I was constantly bugging him with questions.

I thought these were important to have in my new baby's progression thread =)

If you couldn't guess, I am beyond excited lol

Very nice choice! Beautiful

Thank you! He's so beautiful- and already spoiled rotten. I'm really excited to see him grow and change.
