'09 Anery: Austin pick-up

RowanRR

Delighted long enough.
We've all been there. You go to an expo with the mindset that you are NOT getting anything else, no matter what kind of deal it is. And then you walk up to a table and see something you've been wanting and you think, "One more wouldn't hurt...". And that brings us to Ysmay, my new Anery. She's a tiny thing, weighing in at 5 grams, but after our car ride home, I'm thinking that will change soon.

On the way back to College Station, I was holding her in my hand, looking her over. We had stopped at IHOP for lunch, and I had unashamedly used my finger to push my pancakes onto my fork a couple of times. Back in the car, Ysmay discovered my finger, and kind of hovered in front of it for about 10 seconds. She then proceeded to slowly put it in her mouth. Not in a striking way, but in a very deliberal way. That didn't fly with me, so I took my finger back... and then she discovered her body. And she proceeded to put that into her mouth. And tried to swallow it. I watched in sick fascination, and at first I couldn't get the words out to tell my roommate, who was driving, to look. She finally did and swerved off onto the shoulder to take a picture, but alas, as soon as she got her camera out, she stopped doing it. I put her back in her deli cup and prayed I'd still have a snake when we got home.

And I do, and as far as I can tell, she hasn't tried to eat herself again. So without further ado, meet Ysmay!

Tee hee! I almost named her "JC", short for "Jeepers, Creepers, Where'd You Get Those Peepers?" :)
 
...and she discovered her body...

Hehe

Anyway, folks. I was there. And the body eating (hehe) was the hilarious. I pulled over to take a picture. But unfortunately, I couldn't slow down from 80 mph fast enough and by the second I pulled out my camera phone, the fun had ended.

She's so cute though! I love her crazy eyes!
 
That's no corn snake! It's an ouroboros! Well at least you know she has a great feeding response.

LOL. Thank you for that.

... oh, the things that shall go unsaid... but yes, her eyes are great. ;)
 
New pictures of Strikey McGee... unfortunately, none of these are of her in her favorite stance.

Umm, maybe a couple of weeks ago? I told you I used the box and I couldn't get the lighting right... yes?
 
Aww, she's pretty. I love Aneries and all they're derivatives. She'll calm down eventually, I'm sure.
 
Poor little thing..so hungry she wanted to eat herself lol. She has great eyes and is super cute.
 
Lol- she's ridiculous. "Ah, here's something to tide me over! Ow! What was that?"
Haha, thanks!
 
Well, I checked on this little one this evening to find her dead in her tank- I have no idea what happened. She had regurged once about a week ago, but before that had been eating just fine... I'm wondering if maybe she had something wrong with her when I got her back in December :( RIP, Ysmay.
 
Poor thing. I'm sorry for your loss. I was a little worried when I first read she tried to eat herself for no good reason but she looked just fine in her photos. Just one of those weird occurances I guess.

Yeah, the guy I bought her from said he was selling this handful of corns he had for his friend, so who knows what that meant. She was incredibly tiny, so even thought she ate fine for me in the weeks before her regurge, she may have had something wrong with her in the first place.
