Introducing Cherry: Milksnake Phase Miami

[Nanci]

Here's the first of three birthday snakes I bought myself! Cherry is a 2005 Milksnake Phase Miami, from Carol Huddleston, produced by Traci Engle, from a Huddleston male/Pabst female.

The snakes came all the way from California to Florida, and Cherry was the first to be unpacked. She felt cool to me, and she came willingly out of her bag and wrapped herself around my neck, happy as a clam!



I got a few quick pictures of her, and then let her sit at the computer with me while I tested different thermostat settings for the rack. (The thermometers had arrived just minutes before the snakes...) Cherry was content to weave in and out of my sleeves and my sweater, getting nice and warm.



I put her in her bin to relax, but she did a lot of exploring and stayed out nearly the whole day till I went to bed! Every time I'd pass her bin, I'd open it up and give her a pet, and she'd reach up for me to take her out. She is so people-oriented! So later I decided to get some quick ventral pics.



Then she watched an episode of Nip/Tuck with me and finally went to bed.

Thanks for looking!
