My Xmas gift to myself....for the next 4 yrs.

I'm gonna call him Guku. Short for Gukumatz, (look it up) for his El Salvadorian blood. His name in the Mayan tongue literally translates to feathered serpent. Eh, can I pick names or what?

He didn't like me opening the door. It surprised him, and he let me know.

Words don't describe how clean this little guy is, or his color. He'll go with Morrigana and make me some Triple Het for Bloody Sunglows. I just gotta do it.

History: Dayle Speckin owns a male that came from St. Pierre WC animals, and was bred to two different Orange tail Hypos, one possibly het Anery. The resulting 2 litters of F2 Hypo animals are where this guys parents come from. (Bryon and Lauras Hypo het Bloods) So he's also possibly Homozygous Hypo. Putting him with Morrigana would prove or disprove that the first litter.

Thanks for looking.

My bad. The possibly het Anery mentioned above, was actually DH Ghost.

Just so things are right.

I'm liking this guy. Can't wait to see what comes from him.

His color is intense - how spectacular will he be when grown? Congrats on the pickup-I think he is worthy of 4 years of presents and no more lunches....

It's hard to say. I'm almost scared to think of which way he might go as he matures. Sorta hard to imagine even MORE color coming in. HA HA HA

I am so stoked to have him here. He might be my new favorite critter. (just don't let the rest of them know about that)

Was going to phase out my Colombians after I get the few morphs I was wanting to have and play around with, and start bringing in these little CA locale Boas. Now that I have a few of them, makes me wonder why I never messed with them before. These little Boa are fun.

Thanks for all the nice replies!

Yep, he's neato. Gonna see if he wants to eat in a few. I'm sure it will go OK. He's pretty chill in his new cage.

Thanks for all the comps!

Wait, I'm confused, so does he sprout feathers at night or something? He doesn't look like a feathered serpent to me? lol

Awesome snake!

Beautiful animal -- congrats!!!

But he looks like he needs a kiss and a cuddle. :lmao:

Kiss? EEEUUUWWW! Pentastomida scare me. :lmao:


Well, he's got him a full belly, as does everyone else, so they are all on the heat and hiding. Even got the Sabogae to eat too. But since I couldn't find the right size rat pink, I broke my golden rule, and got him 2 mice fuzzy/hopper thingys. But he ate them both with no issues.

Can't wait to get him to a better weight so I can work on getting him on F/T rats. I'm sure he'll do great after that.

Thanks for the nice replies!
