I went planning on buyin some sort of boa, but I ended up doing some impulse buying as usual. They are both feisty, but one is more so than the other. Ive been snapped at quite a few times. I totally love these girls though.

Introducing Sydney and Melbourne!

Hey what table did you get these two at? They're gorgeous - congrats!

I think I saw you today but by the time I made my way over, you were gone.

I wish I would have seen you Kelly

I got them from Walkabout reptiles. Its the guy who owns Moreliapythons.com. I looked around for a few minutes when we got there and found a peruvian I liked and some albinos I liked. Then I came across this table. I got them out to check them out and fell in love instantly. They were way more active than a boa when I was handling them. Plus the wife said I could get them both, so how could I say no lol. Even my parents were like, oooh, those are pretty snakes.

Dude that was the table my buddy Blake was sharing! You got yourself some quality animals there. It's too bad I wasn't there when you bought them. I don't know if it would have helped with haggling, but I'd have put a good word in for you. You're gonna be really pleased with these two.

Well, I got a bit of a discount by purchasing them both which was nice. They are awesome critters! I had to make some feeder purchases while I was there as well. I don't think these guys are ready for med and large rats lol. I excited about them for sure. Their little faces and patterns are what sold me on them.

Great looking pythons buddy! I'm no carpet expert so what kind are those two? Coastal and a jag?

96Blacksunshine · #8 (**permalink**) 03-14-2010, 05:14 PM

Coastal and a jungle jag sibling I believe. Im no expert either, believe me. I think they are going to be a fun learning experience though. Im glad I bought a snake hook haha. Im taking them home today and getting their bins set up. Once they settle in and feel comfie, I will try feeding them. I now have four snakes. So if 3 out of 4 are nice, I can live with that lol.

I really wanted to go yesterday too. I just knew we had a six hour drive ahead and was ready to get the babies set up at home. I got them set up last night and they were cruising like crazy! I decided to try and feed them. Boy, talk about feeding response! The evil one probably struck over half her body length

The others strike wasn't too shabby either. So they both ate f/t mice pinks with ease. I will be trying the switch to rats before too much longer. Im just gonna give them a chance to settle now before changing anything else in their routine. Thanks for the compliments everyone.
