Ok so everyone knows I went up to see Amercnwmn this weekend and got my Mystry boa

Dont worry, she's in her home destressing now, I took these pics at courtney's before we brought her home. Figured I'd show her off a lil cause I think shes oh so pretty (but I'm partial)

Yea. We were originally going to meet at the Tunica show next weekend with her, but Courtney ended up not being able to make that one. I didnt really want to ship her (we didn't know how anyway) and we wanted to meet Courtney anyhow. We had fun

. I'll post some more pics of her in a couple of weeks, I'm leaving her alone for now...

Mystery is a beautiful snake. I can't wait to see some more pics after she settles in.

Thanks guys! I'll post some more pics in a couple of weeks once she's settled in, eaten and digested some. For now her favorite pasttime is burrowing in the aspen and hiding rather than hiding in her hide boxes. Hopefully she'll come out soon so I can see her.

I was first made aware of this snake and a BP who were in NJ..Neither were eating or shedding properly. The RTB members tried to help the owner correct the husbandry requirements, and I guess he'd just had enough.. So he said he'd ship them next day. They never showed up and I sort of forgot about them...About a month later I got an email saying they were boxed up and leaving the next day bound for Arkansas. They got here about 2 days later, and the BP sadly didnt make the trip.

Mystery was dehydrated, cold, and stuck under so much skin it was hard to tell she HAD colors LOL
I PMd JuliusSqueezer, who was really helpful (as usual). He had me soak her as long as it took to get the sheds off...I got her settled in and she ate an F/T mouse like 2 days later. In the several months I had her, she grew significantly, and began to shed properly. She has a great temperment, is a ready feeder, and now on F/T small rats.

CruiserMaiden saw one of the pics I had of her, and just couldnt stop thinking of her and PMd me..We had originally planned to meet in Tunica, MS on the 3rd of June, but since we couldnt afford the trip..her, her b/f Will, and Jonathan (aka redtail1) made a trip up for Memorial Day to hang out with us and get Mystery. I really couldnt have asked for a better home, and I really cant wait to see pics of her as she grows.

Here are some pics of her and the BP on the day I got her..
