I adopted a couple snakes tonight at the local herp society meeting. I'll post pics once they settle in. One is a gorgeous little '06 classic motley with circles and q-tip pattern, poss het amel. The other needs a little explanation...
A local woman rescued a large number of snakes and lizards (I think off of Craig's List). Many of the animals were in poor shape and she was overwhelmed with taking care of them. The herp society worked with her to rescue them further. My co-worker, who does adoptions for the society, always tells me about the corns and kings that show up. She told me there was a butter corn from this group and it had a clean bill of health from our herp vet. She doesn't know her corn morphs, so I kinda thought it might be an orange amel that someone was calling a "butter". I decided to take a look at it. What I found was an adult butter motley (banded) that I think is a female.
She's thin and needs a few good sheds to clear up some damaged scales, but Dr. Maas said she's ok. I'll do a fecal to be sure. I can't believe how lucky I am to have found an adult butter mot! She's so sweet and calm. I am going to fatten her up and make her happy.
Now I just need names, preferably ones that begin with N, Q, W, X or Y. Those are the only letters I don't have names for in my collection.
