I heard from Dan-- he did ship my snakes today!!!!! I'll get them at work in the morning... I am SO PHSYCHED!!!!!!

But for now, here is poor little Riley.... all tough 5 lbs of him... let's hope he learned that chasing and biting something that weighs 1000 lbs more than you is not a good plan!!

awwwwwwwwwwww poor guy!!! He is so cute!!!! I hope he wont be doing that anymore.

So your getting your snakies today? WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO I cant wait

[Lori P]

THEY'RE HERE and they are WONDERFUL but my boss is here and I haven't been able to get pics!!!! The female was diving into the water bowl over and over, and luckily I had some pinkies here in the freezer so I tossed 6 in there and she's already downed four!! I'll get pics up asap..... LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Hungry girl!!! Congrats Lori! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

[Garter_Gertie]

Hooray, Mom! Can't wait to see the new kids!

[Lori P]

Here are the new kids! They are understandably skittish so I've only caught a few pics of them peeking out. They are sirtalis, not similis, just to clarify. I LOVE them... they are the biggest garters I have now, too!!!!

The female ended up eating all 6 pinkies out of the water dish while we were at work today and looked for more... but I'm waiting till tomorrow to offer more food. Wanted her to settle down a bit first.

Here she is.... I love that little spot on her nose... do NOT let me name her Spot!!! lol



Now check this out... this is her chin/neck... thoughts??? A bit concerned...



And here are both of them--



I'll get better pics in a few days. Man, I really, really really like these two. I can't even explain it... they were just meant to be here!!!!!!

This was interesting... he shipped them in a pillow case. In a box, packed with newspaper. I found that kind of... odd... lol But maybe that's ok?? I mean, I guess they had more freedom to move and right themselves and such but it did surprise me. Is that normal?

[Lori P]

Oh, and so.... being sirtalis... do I still refer to them as Florida Blues? Or is that reserved for the similis? I know we talked about this before but I forget....

[bsol]

i'm going to refer to those two as awesome!!! they look great!

[jitami]

Oh, they're gorgeous Lori!!!

I can't wait to hear what others have to say about her chin... there has got to be something going on there? Hope it's nothing...
