That's a great name! Good luck with your pretty girl. What was the name of the breeder?

Thanks! I'll ask him next show. Lol.. But, I was talking to another breeder because they were impressed with her.. They said he's known across the U.S. for his Honduran Milks I believe. Or maybe it was milks in general.. They were beautiful.

Thanks! Well, if you do really want one.. Do your research.. I did a year of researching and planning. They aren't really for a beginner.. More of an intermediate level snake.

Ouch, ya I just looked them up...bigger as an adult than anything I want right now... :)

That is ONE of the reasons I had to say "no" also. While I do have a snake that might get longer (VBB whose mom was HUGE), I was worried about a semi-heavy bodied large snake and having the room to properly care for it.

They're really great looking snakes, AND, I will have one eventually... LOL... just not now.
 
So... I usually don't do a daily update about my snakeys.. But since I can't play with her yet I might as well. I was glad to see when I woke up this morning that the humidity only dropped to 60 percent overnight! I'm glad I can keep the humidity up for her.

Now I just need to get a good thermometer to measure ambient temps. Any ideas? I have the glass temp above the UTK about 87 right now.. But I'd like to know the ambient temps in the cage..
 
like her even more today Trent! your a lucky guy to have her!


and i sent the 20% down payment for my little boa today so as soon as he gets the money she'll be mine!

Thanks! Me too! Lol.. I still check on her probably every 30 min..

Awesome! I'm glad you got the payment out! Lol.
 
Ok.. So I fed her today..

Going to some background. Last month when I talked to the breeder he told me that he only feeds live. I don't remember what the reason he said was. Anyway, I was afraid she wouldn't eat F/T. So I tried feeding the first fuzzy, and she struck at it and I was like sweet! Then she dropped it. So, I tried to tease her and it didnt work. Then I covered her up in her feeding bin, and checked on her a little later and she was munching on the mouse. I was happy and then fed he the second one. But I had to do the same thing.

I'm glad she ate, and will probably feed her at night again like Eddie doesn with his snakes. Hopefully I'll get a better feeding response out of her.

She weighed in at 58 g before the feeding, which is less than I thought she looked. Lol. I was thinking in the 80s.. But oh well.

I also took some pictures to try to show off her iridescence, but it didn't go as well as planned. I'll have to get some special lighting or wait to take her out when its warm and sunny out.

You can see some purple shades on some of her edges in the one picture.. That's the best I could do.

I sorry! I just clicked them in that order.. Thank you! I'm glad she ate.. Now she's chillen on the vines not by her heat pad. Which is kinda weird.

Thank you much danielle! I'm glad I got a winner in everyone elses eyes. :)
 
Hey guys, sorry for bringing up an old thread. I do know some of you wanted some information on the guy I bought her from.

His name is Norm Damm. He doesn't have a website or anything like that, but I did get his e-mail if you want to contact him. He seemed excited that there were other people sort of interested. He does have some siblings of Prism left. If you would like his e-mail, PM me and I'll give it to you.
 
She's lovely and you'll have to give us some updated outdoor pictures of her. I'm waiting for my friend's brazilian to drop some babies. I traded him a trio of locality okeetees for one of his babies. Can't wait until they're born!
