I was actually too embarrassed to admit Takala had escaped. She was in a 10g tank with a lid, with clips, and she managed to get out. Legoless never did, but this sneaky little gal did. She left me a little poo on the top of the tank to clue me in. I tore the room up. I did a search. I set...

This is our new addition...Takala. We think she's quite a lovely little girl! As close as Don can tell me, she's about 3 months old at this time. This shot was taken while she was having her "welcome home" dinner a week after her arrival. She slipped off the cup while she was downing her...

So, it's been 10 months, and Legoless has grown by leaps and bounds! He hardly looks like his baby pictures at all... Today, Spot's Mom and I ordered a pair of Abbott's Okeetees....they should be here on Tuesday, and I CAN'T wait!!! We both wanted an Okeetee, she wanted a baby, so we decided...

Ok, so that's not "we" in the plural, cross-species sense...! However, one of the Ladies in Waiting is beginning to look like a fuzzy ping-pong ball, and her nipple region is beginning to de-fur. This is our first go-round, and since I'm SURE "Curly Bill" isn't the Papa-to-be, I'm wondering if...

Legoless has a fondness for my long tresses. He happily slithers up over my shoulder and into my hair. He climbs up to my ears, then to my back and then up to the top of my head if he's left alone. All I can think of while he's exploring is...please no "poo"!!!!

And so...what our "elders" tell us proves to be true! Legoless happily attacked a f/t "fuzzy" tonight, and after a few tries, declined the prey. It was close to 1.5 x his largest point. He ate 3 pinkies at one time last week... He had that critter by the nose and gave it his best shot, then...

First off...I'm extremely new at this. Second, I'm obsessive. That having been said, since it's so darn hard here to get the right size feeder mice for my corn, I decided to raise my own. I'm willing to dispatch the bambinos humanely, and at the right time... I've only got one snake myself...

I'm sorry to have to ask...my book from Kathy is on the slow boat between CA and FL and back again. Legoless was (I imagine) what you'd call "high blue"- - we've had the occluded eyecaps, and they're now clear - - last night. He still hasn't shed. This past week, I've dampened the Forest Bed...

The morphs are so popular....but I've got to ask... What will my baby normal grow up to look like? It's a cutie now...but how will these colors change?

The herp specialist recommended Forest Bed by T Rex as substrate for my corn when we bought it. He said to keep it wet...not drippy but damp. I've got a 16 inch youngster on a cobra UTH (half the tank) with 2 hiding places (warm and cooler). Should the substrate be kept damp? I just want to...

This is my little "guy"...what would this coloration pattern be called? He's just a baby... Not that it matters...Legoless has a lovely disposition and loves to be handled!
