@eorr53 Gorgeous boa! I love the full stripe thing going on here. Aztec does wonders in some combos, even if it’s not the best looking on its own. lol And the jungle is definitely pulling its weight here. (You’re not joking about the color wipe either :rofl: I didn’t think it was too bad until that one reply of mine.

@emfraise Mew is amazing!! Reminds me of the albino checkereds I used to have, but bigger! They were really cool snakes, the albino kings are super tempting especially while they look like that. What are the chances she stays that way? :thinking: She looks mostly full grown after all, maybe another foot or two to go.

Mr. Happy Face (I am assuming that’s his name and not a sarcastic dig at his personality? lmao) is looking good too! I’m glad the MBK I have doesn’t try to eat everything either, though he does try to crush anything that touches him against the wall. :roll_eyes:

@caron lovely red and white noodle! Milks are nothing to sneeze at either. :grin: Milks/kings may be one of those species I have at least one of, even if I don’t focus on them.

Guess we all have to hide snakes around here. :joy: :joy: At least I have a whole building so it’s easy.

@armiyana Man that’s a nice bp! Such a subtle lavender color. Is this urban camo, or something else? Looks like some dark spots here and there too.

I just fed everyone the other day so more pics might have to wait another day or two, but I had a couple more shed and still have 2 or 3 lagging behind.

Yes!
Her dad was sold to me as a mystery BEL from an Urban Camo pairing. He ended up being a pure white Urban Camo.
So I’m pretty sure she’s super pastel and Mojave on top of the super cinny sandblast het pied.
I could be wrong and she’s pastel lesser… But it won’t matter because she’s a pet only gal. She has the super cinny kink.

This girl seems a bit confused.

Not the surprise I expect to see a big gal curled up with. Thanks I guess?

Thank you! I’m not sure on the longevity of the look, as I know a lot of them have the pink areas “white out” as they get larger and the scales become less translucent. So far Mew has been retaining hers though, so maybe she’ll keep them into adulthood? She’s probably a solid 2 feet now, so you’re right on the money with how much room she still has to grow lol. Could make a dramatic difference, so we’ll see!

It is indeed his name, due to the smiley face he has as a headstamp lmao! Though I will say, even though he’s very handleable he’s certainly a little more testy than Mew :face_with_hand_over_mouth: But thank you! He’s been growing like a weed, usually just scarfs down whatever you put in his face! Interesting behavior from your MBK for sure, I’ve never seen a snake “crush” something like that! :joy:

Freshly shed male Peppermint Tessera Motley corn, York. Probably Halo too, but I know little about that. And a freshly shed Bantam Honey corn, Castillo.

She’s so purple! What a lovely little sweetheart. :two_hearts:

Isn’t she though! She is and will be a lovely snake! I’m particularly partial to purple because it’s my favorite color. My hair has a ton of purple in it! :wink:

So I’m finally able to contribute to the freshly shed thread… but Noodle had to go and be unique about it. Is he rethinking the shed? Did he forget something in one of his pockets? Who knows :woman_shrugging: I’m just glad he did it on a day I was home so I could enjoy this goofball in all his silliness.

He’s been “caught” in the act! :wink:
