Just a weird girl in a herp world...

[Freebody]

i have a male named Zues, females named Ate, goddess of evil, Nemesis, goddess of revenge, and medussa

I also just got a female baby ball yesterday, only eating rat hoppers but she's apparently got some good breeding qualities so maybe after she's grown she will be a good breeder. Her name is Lilith.

here's the origins of her name:

"there is content that suggests Adam(from the bible) had two wives. When God created Adam from the dust, Adam walked the Earth, in Eden alone. Then God looked upon Adam and said to himself, that a man should not be made to be alone. So God took from the Earth, dust again, and created Lilith. If one remembers correctly God took a rib from Adam to create Eve, instead of again making a human from the dust. The reason some suspect is because of what happened with Lilith. As soon as Lilith was with Adam, the two began fighting. Adam insisted that it was he who should lay above Lilith, and she who should lay below, because he was superior to her. Lilith said in reply that she would not lay below him, and that she was equal to him in that she was made from the same earth as he.

Instead of staying and being forever the inferior to Adam, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden, and ran far away. God sent three angels after her, and told them if they could convince her to come back, then all would be well, but if not, to warn her that for her disobedience, one hundred of her children would die every day. The angels flew, and found Lilith near the shore of the sea, and explained all that God had said. Lilith refused, and the angels threatened to drown her in the sea. They argued for a while, and eventually, Lilith arrived at the conclusion that she was made to cause illness to infants. “‘Leave me!’ she said. ‘I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.’”

interetsing name choice for a ball python considering they are such kind mello snakes, woulda been a great name for a carpt though, my jcp bit me 5 times today during her scheduled handling, she is getting cranky.

but i digress, congrats on the new ball, you should get a carpet after you get the new Ball and ETB started >.>

[Serpantstrike]

haha yeah for some reason I feel i should slow down on the snake adoption...my room isnt very big and I already have half the room full of snake tanks lol then the ETB is going to have to have another larger tank so yeah, maybe after I move to a larger place I'll look into a carpet.

[Xanafein]

lol suit yourself, why does it have to be your room, dont you have a couch in the living room? just playing best not to bite off more than you can chew, i actually just gave my anery corn Xanafein to my cousin maddy, she has been studying for a vetrinary degree, and loves reptiles, she loves him, so now im down to just my new JCP, once i move into my new place im gonna pick up a few balls and maybe some garters, infernalis has revived an old spark

[Serpantstrike]

Well, i recently moved back in with my mom to go to college and her husband isnt fond of snakes. he still doesnt know i just got another otherwise it wouldnt be an issue.

[Xanafein]

[Serpantstrike]

thatlucky corn is now in the hands of a reasonably wealthy ex model, with a massive house, he keeps predatory birds mostly, but he fell in love with the ghosty so i sent him an enclosure and then the snake

I have to digress as well. Xanafein, I'm in the process of "mellowing" out my JCP as well through habitual handling, and the last couple days she's been extra cranky. I noticed she looked a little dull (hardly could tell a difference) and during this morning's handling session, I noticed her eyes starting to cloud up.....I was relieved, because I am blaming her crankiness on it being her first time going into shed in my possession.

Maybe your little girl is also getting ready to shed?! Sorry for the off-topic blabbering, but we are going though very similar endeavors with our JCPs!

[Xanafein]

naw she was just a bitch, she isnt due to shed for a few weeks, no cloudiness detected yet, she shed shortly before i brought her home, she chomped the back of my hand today, left a series of puncture wounds that look like the golden arches )
