Kings of the forum!

[toddnbecka]

We went to the Havre de Grace reptile show last Saturday, and I almost had the MBK I'd been hoping to find there. There was a vendor with a number of good-size babies, but while we were walking around Becka spotted some baby thayeri and had to have them. Guess the MBK will have to wait a bit longer, still in the process of building new enclosures for my DRMB's and won't have a good place for another setup until I finish that project. The Hamburg show is this Saturday, provided I don't have to work. (Maybe I could squeeze in a tub somewhere...)
The seller said they hadn't been fed for 10 days, so they wouldn't poop in their deli cups at the show. They both took 2 new pinkies a few hours after they arrived, then 2 more today after being photographed. Feeding response wasn't quite as strong, so I think they're caught up and will go on a weekly schedule now.
Female has some small black spots, mostly along the sides, easiest way to tell them apart:




Male is just a bit thinner, little lighter color too, no black spots on the sides or back:

SOMEONE was a pouty baby and didn't want to come out. He thought he was safe in there and was so sad to learn he was wrong.


We took a brief foray outside. He really wanted to go play in the grass, but it's overdue for a mow and he's still small enough I didn't want to let him. He got cranky and peed on me for my efforts at keeping him safe.


Then we went back inside, and he got cranky and peed on me for not letting him get behind the bookcase. There is no winning with Noodle these days!

He still has "petulant pissbaby" written on the side of his enclosure. That will not change anytime soon at this rate. :P

I hoping to join the king ranks soon, waiting for a local store to bring in some MBK worms. I already have his cage set up and ready to go minus heaters on. I have everything just haven't plugged it in.

[EL Ziggy]

Noodle sounds like a handful OD. He's looking good. No matter how many MBK's I see I still love them.

@ trailblazer - I know how you feel. It's tough waiting for a snake you really want. It'll be worth it though. I hope you find the right one soon.

I'm not going to jump the gun. They already have a deposit (long story) but if I don't like the one they hold for me they will get another. I want a pure black MBK with a good attitude.

I for sure want an MBK from day 1 that pure black look was so cool and I wanted one.

[Obsidian_Dragon]

I have to admit--my MBK's current habit of angry!peeing has not made him a favorite to handle at the moment. I still love him, but I do hope he grows out of it!

[trailblazer295]

My BO has pee'd on my map twice. Not while holding just stretched out and chilled so idk.

LOL I love the story line you paint with your photos

[toddnbecka]

I know the story, one of my male DRMB's is touchy. He'll let you take him out of the enclosure if you move slowly, but if he's allowed to roam (like around the water lines and various wires along the basement ceiling) he tends to drop a load of urates when I interfere with his aim. Never gets defensive of aggressive, just lets me know he's pissed, literally lol.

Can never seem to get the perfect lighting to show off Scarlet Rose's beautiful colors. Granted, I'm using my phone's camera and it doesn't do a good job, but here she is anyway!
