Say Hello to Ouro!

[Sapphyr]

He's here and doing great! As usual, we all get our new snakes and just can't resist to take some pictures and just hold it for a minute or so before placing them in their cage. So, I did so, and to my surprise, no huff, puff, or anything! Not even a flattened head. Man, I must be -really- lucky to be getting such tolerant snakes.~

So, here's my pictures. These are also post-shed, since Scott said he was in shed when he bought him last week. :

Speaking of being lucky... I'm also lucky to have such great feeders! Brought him home, warmed up a pinky since Scott said he didn't feed him, and Ouro just went to town on the little thing! It was honestly a little amusing watching him feed with his little cute snout <3 I just hope stress from being in a new home and all that doesn't cause him to regurg. D;

Anywho, here's the video:

Very nice little hoggie.

He's a little cutie. I love them hog faces, they look so innocent and full of wonder.:freakedout: Congrats on a great looking little guy.

Cutie! <3
Glad to hear he's eating and doing good for you. Can't wait to see more pictures when you have him out more in a few weeks.
:D Congrats~

Ouro is just too cute, I'm in love again!
Thats great that he ate for you and took it in such a gentle manner. Is Ouro a girl or a boy!

[Sapphyr]

Thanks ya'll c: Ouro is a little boy~ Right now I'm fighting the urge to say hi to him D; Hate having to wait a week or two </3 And yes, his face is just cute as a button~ c:

He is very cute! so tiny around your finger lol

[marvelfreak]

Congrats he's a so cutie. Nice video.

[Shmoges]

Aww he looks the same size as our new albino KSB :D How much was that guy and from where did you get him? Is this the $200 one from a show I saw earlier?

[Sapphyr]

Thanks Jendee and Marvel~ c: I really like the video~ And he's tinier than I'd expected but cute nonetheless~ xD

And Shmoges, if you were at an Alabama expo last weekend, then yes. I don't know the breeder, as my reptile bud, Scott, was the show attender/vendor and I'd asked him to try and find me an albino, tri-color, or red/orange hoggie for me. He spends pretty much all weekend, and even some weekdays, travelling to the next reptile expo, even if it's states away.

Ouro was priced at $200 in the early morning, but by the time I'd contacted Scott and he came around to purchasing it for me, he said the vendor had jacked the price up to $275 on albino hoggies, but Scott whipped out the photo he'd sent me, after having an argument with the guy, and got it for $200 since he had proof the guy jacked the price up. I was very very lucky.~

Thats a good price for sure for the Albino hognose! I've seen some for over $1000.00

Wow, really? :c That's the highest I've ever heard of, for an albino. A well known photographer on deviantART, mostly known for her hognoses, got her albino for $500(BHB is selling their albino for $300). Her pictures are actually what inspired me so much and made me love hognoses. My love for them and, specifically, for orange colored ones sprouts from this photo she took of hers:

I've wanted one like hers for -yeeaaars- because it just looks so darling.~ Now I finally got one :D

And oh, I'm so proud~ He's already made his first tunnel c:
