Is that Stormy's daughter? Love her sweet "caught in the act" demeanor in the photo.

Yeah, that's #4 of Stormy's daughters. Not that I want any to escape but it was especially heart stopping because I had a semi local person interested in my one remaining normal from the Viper x Fiona clutch.
I got him out, weighed him and took some pictures of him for them and then put him back. A few hours later they decided they did want him and set out to drive here to get him, from over an hour away. When I went down to pull him and put him in a travel container, I grabbed her enclosure by mistake and had a really big heart attack, these people are halfway here and I must not have gotten his enclosure closed up right earlier and now I either have to call them off right now to save a little gas or I have to find him in the next 30 minutes or waste more than two hours of these people's time!!
So it was a bit of a relief when I took a closer look at the I.D. tag on the enclosure and realized, oh, it's one of the Phantoms! Whew! I now have all night to hunt for her! I found her about 5 minutes after that realization, thankfully.
