My Brazilian lady just had a very nice shed this week, so I took some pictures showing off her iridescence. (Sorry her head isn't visible in these....she just ate a guinea pig and I didn't want to bother her too much)







So Shiny.....^_^

Here's some pics of her chowing her first F/T rat, plus a few miscellaneous pics...













As you can see in the last pic, she was on the thin side when I got her. :( Her name is Evelyn Eve, and I got her from a man who used to come in to the store I work at frequently. He was always telling me that she had a really persistent respiratory problem, and he spent thousande of dollars over th elast six years on antibiotics. When he finally ran out of money and gave her to me, I went over to his house to find.....a completely dry setup!!

She was wheezy and spitting up mucus when I brought her home, so I immediately put her on bed-a-beast, covered 90% of the tank top in plexiglass, got a fogger going, and put a heat lamp on her. Wouldn't you know...within four days her respiratory cleared up completely and she's been in great health ever since!!

Not only that....she was a fussy eater for her old owner and she has never refused a meal from me. Even switching suddenly from live to F/T wasn't a problem. I'm so in love with this snake.... {D

Personality-wise she is an absolute DOLL!! She has only bitten one person in her entire life, and tht was the one idiot (my sister) who stuck their hand into her cage an hour after she ate. She hisses at me from time to time, but she's never acted aggressive at all!! ^_^
