Meet Tom Yum: Carol's Daytona Pick-Up (Oreophis porphyraceus coxi)

[Jessicat]

Mmmm, Tom "yum" as in Tom Ka Gai?! If so his name fits his uniquely exotic appearance.

Tom made a beeline into the winehouse!

Looks like he's got good taste! Who can resist boxed wine?!! :cheers:

His girlfriend's name is Kee Mao. I couldn't think of names so Nanci suggested Thai food names. Kee mao is my favorite and Tom Yum is perfect for a boy (and yummy too)

Some Kee Mao pics for Tom!

Pretty darn close to perfect!

Yeah, I might need one of their offspring! Very pretty!

 

[Nanci]

Wow- she's beautiful! Tom Yum apparently did not want to be bothered for dinner last night. First he bit me when I removed him from the winehouse, and then he wouldn't eat his FT hopper. He struck at it repeatedly if I wiggled it with tongs, but not in an "I'm going to eat you" sort of way, more like "Get the heck away from me!!" I am not worried, since he's already eaten just fine twice. It just surprised me!!

Wow, what a gorgeous pair they make!

I simply cannot get over how cool these snakes are. Salivating over these photos.
