Almost sixteen...and I spend my money on a snake!

It was time for a new snake and I had found a type I liked. After some research and talking to a few breeders, I decided on a kind I had never really heard of before. I talked to a man up in Wisconsin who bred this certain snake and I finally decided to purchase a little male.

Say hello to my newest addition, Darwin, the Thai Bamboo Rat Snake! (Thanks to Elle for giving me a great list of names to help me chose from!)

More, better quality pictures will be posted after he has a few days to settle in.

Thanks for looking!

He is freakin amazing! I adore coxi rats, and I love his name... I wonder why LOL.

I am coveting this snake so much right now, but since I named him, I suppose we are part of each other in a way. Can you post me his first shed skin or something sick like that? LOL!

I love his wee black neck blocky thing, thats cute! Whats his temprement like? Is he psycho like most baby coxi? Aren't they just such elegant snakes :)

I wish I could source one easily for under £300...
 
Thanks Rich and Jiva!!

Thanks Elle! You may have his first shed, lol.

I think the black blotch will eventually go away but your right, it is cool! So far I have only held him for a minute and he didn't try to bite but I could tell he was scared. The real test will be in a few days when I get him out and take some "good" pictures. I see he has a nice water droplet on his mouth in these and I didn't really want to scare him anymore than he already was so I took some quick pictures.
 
I don't think it will go away. It's chinese bamboo rats that are born blocky and completely lose them as adults. I hope his block doesn't fade! You should call him Sir Darwin blocketh of Penddleshire.

I have horrible green jealous eyes at the moment. Arg...
 
Thanks Janine!

Oh shut up dude, you have one of the rarest CB asian ratsnakes. THATS why I am so jealous. I would have to pay over $600 to get my hands on one over here.
 
VERY Nice Dave! What a fantastic next addition for you. And I completely agree - we definately need to see frequent updates of him!!
 
i know i'm a dude, and this probably isnt very manly. but that snake is absolutely beautiful. if i had the money i would get one in a heartbeat. wow...just....wow.
 
:eek: That snake is STUNNING! :eek:
Definately keep an update on this thread with that guy.

It was kind of funny looking at the pictures, I thought the snake was a LOT bigger then he really is... I thought that until I scrolled down and saw the pic with the quarter :rofl:

Briliant color! Congrats :)
