These pick ups are a bit different ;)

THese pickups are prob a little different from most of you lol. we finally took the plunge and we brought home 3 baby a. versicolors I looked for some at the show last weekend in san antonio, but only found one, that was expensive lol. i got a fantastic deal on these guys today













dont know why these came out so dull, must be the angle....





this is what they all look like, these things are gorgeous!!





i had no intentions of buying any snakes today....but if i had the extra cash lieing around, this girl would have DEFINITELY come home with me these pics do her absolutely NO justice, she was fantasticly pink and purple and red in person, holy crap was this one gorgeous!!

Those versicolors look awesome, who did you get them from? I don't remember seeing that boa, but I can see why it caught your eye.

Re: These pick ups are a bit different ;)

i hope so too!! these are my very first Ts.....apparently babies can be hard to care for cause they need humidity, but also lots of ventilation. plus they are arboreal and like to be above ground. we have them set up in these spare cricket containers that have little tiny ventilation holes on all sides, all the way up and down, i think thats enough ventilation. all 3 of them have built their little webs up in one corner and they are just chillin lol. im planning on putting some fake plant leaves in there cause i read that they might like something else to hide in and build their webs on

Re: These pick ups are a bit different ;)

I've had a few.
cobalt blues, mexican red knees' , baboon's, and one or two other misc species.

I really liked them, and have been on the fence about setting up a few enclosures for Avic's.
to be honest, I paid very little attention to them when I had them.
made sure they had moisture, and fed them once/twice a week, much like a snake, and they seemed happy.

yours look really nice, I can't wait to see pics of how they mature!

Re: These pick ups are a bit different ;)

Don't be discouraged, BL! They're good size When they're super small (way smaller than that) they can be insane to care for. Just keep them ventilated enough and a little moist and they're good. My little guy is just a tad bigger than those

BL, you're gonna do fine. I raised my adult versicolor from a sling at 3/4". It's very rewarding to be able to say that.

Toker... metallicas don't look anything like these guys. They have pink legs with black socks.
