Twang'em into trees!
Ok, ok...I caved (and the boyfriend allowed me a final holiday gift!)...but as they say in Spanish (which I think is the funniest of expressions!) : ya cerró la fábrica!!! -- the factory is now closed! (It's used when a woman has decided she's not having any more children...:rofl: )
So, please meet *my* three close-out specials, courtesy of Michelle/Creatures of the Night:
Zya (a play on an Arabic name meaning "splendor") : a feisty lil'charcoal...it is beyond easy to get a photo of her because she is such a ham! Her feeding response is insatiable -- at her second feeding, she kept striking at the lid of her feeding container when she saw my finger, after already taking her first pinky! I had to cover her to calm her -- and then I slipped her another pinky. She's a meat & potatoes girl -- no salad for her!
This photo cracks me up...it's as if she's saying, "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" or "Go away, no one's home!" or something of the like...! (She's in a little "casita" that I bought potentially for one of my leopard geckos, but it fit better for Zya...)
Hyetti (Arabic term of endearment meaning "my life") : I found out that she hadn't eaten for about 14 days prior to my picking her up, and Michelle graciously gave me the choice of her sister, Zya, if I'd rather not go with a problem-feeder...however, because I'd given her the name of "my life," I felt it to be a sign, and I decided to try -- and she hasn't refused yet.
Hyetti is incredibly shy, and photographing her prior to today has been near impossible, but she seems to slowly be coming out of her shell. However, she's the calmest snake I've ever met: when I took her out of her tank today, she stayed coiled up, even in my open palm, for quite awhile. Maybe she thinks that she's a ball python?
Looking a little more relaxed...
Lastly, the gentleman of the bunch...and no relation to "the sisters":
Habibi (Arabic term of endearment meaning "my sweetheart" for a male) : a normal aztec who has been a pain to photo because he's so photo-shy, but an easy one to care for & a fantastic eater. A super-cute lil'guy.
Having his first pinky...
Giving a lil'tongue, over a week later...
Thanks! :wavey:
