    Talking meet my newbie!

    I havent been here much since Rook passed away, but im still alive I have been in the proccess of getting a new checkered for a while, but delay after delay// lol well she is finally home as of last night. I do have a question though, my option was really really young babies or a sub adult. now I have no idea what a "sub adult" means but I figered a slightly older snake would be better. now I was expecting a snae about the size Rook was when she passed away, so I set up the tank with Rooks old stuff(Jiffy has her baby stuff), now snake arrives last night and ..holy smokes she is HUGE! I have to get new stuff because Rooks stuff is way too little! so I am curious how old approx. might she be, and would she really be considered a "sub adult" ? I mean this girl is more then triple the size Rook was at 1 year, and Rook grew like a weed.



    my big girl is gonna need a name too!

    What a big beautiful girl. Is she wild caught or captive bred?
    I'm very sorry to hear about Rook.

    She's 33.6 inches long! Does that still count as subadult?

    At almost 3 feet I would think she would be an adult. I wouldn't argue the point with her. She's a beauty.

    I'm sure we would all like to hear more about Rook. Must have been a special snake for you to choose its name as your screen name.
