Helloo! I am so happy to find you guys!
I'm Julie, and I will be picking this bitty baby up in the morning!!
This is Lola?/Haze? I can't decide on a name until i meet her. I am so exited i cannot sleep! i feel like a kid on Christmas eve. She will be my first snake ~
She is one of Elemental Exotics phantom babies. Forum member Tavia was so patient and nice, answered all of my questions and was a genuine pleasure to "meet".
About me: I run a payroll department for a living, a recently retired roller derby blocker, Hanna Konda #333, Grassroots Rollergirls of Baton Rouge Louisiana, mom of one (grown) daughter. Im 43 y/o. I recently discovered (to my surprise) that I love reptiles! Who knew? I ended up rescuing a bearded dragon from a bad situation and just set my mind to 'figure it out". I read all i could get my hands on, and in the process fell in love with all that personality covered in scales. His name is Silas. I discovered Nami (my Chinese water dragon) in a big box pet store where i sometimes pick up worms. She had a horrible case of snout rub from banging against the aquarium glass in the store and an infected eye. I saw her there two weeks in a row and just couldn't stand it and brought her home. (I am happy to say that she's all healed up, has nearly doubled in size already, shed, has turned a completely new vibrant green and she seems to be enjoying her new home almost as much as we are enjoying her. I've had a black lab, Jake, for 13 yrs. He titled in agility and obedience in 2005. Charlie Murphy is a 2 yr old Australian Shepard/chow mix that could title in shenanigans if there were such a thing, two evil cats - mr. moses mcKitty (12) and the pirate cat, Gus J.(3).
And tomorrow i meet my very own corn snake! (did i mention i was excited??) And nervous. Ive never acquired a pet this way before. (from a breeder & shipped) i keep thinking about how tonight's travel is the hardest night of her lifes. I hope she's traveling as comfortably as possible and is okay. morning cannot come soon enough!
I'm very grateful to have forrest gump'ed my way in here. I have much to learn!
I set up a critter keeper enclosure the other day because i read that too large of a space can stress them out. Now that i found ya'll, i read that i could have set up my 29 long, if i litter the floor with enough hides. I'd appreciate input or recommendations if anybody has one and would like to share.
I am looking forward to this new adventure and hopefully getting to know ya'll in the process.
(whoa that was a long post. I ramble when i'm nervy). I may start working on that 29 long, and then come back and see if anyone replied. lol.
Goodnight, everyone!
