HERE SHE IS!!

Everyone meet Locus, my first Burmese python and first "giant" period!! She's a 2019 female green het granite 66% ph albino. She seems smaller than I'd expect for being nearly a yearling (if the seller posted the correct info on MM, her hatchday is July 6th), but her overall body tone looks good and she seems healthy upon first impressions. Only thing that worries me is this little mark up near her neck;

No idea what it is. Almost looks like she could have been bit by a mouse or something, but she's supposed to be eating F/T prey. I'll be asking the seller about it here shortly.

And damn is this little girl chatty! I know burms are noisy, but Locus sounded like a tea kettle with how much she was hissing when I pulled her bag out of the box! No bites or strikes though.

I'm gonna be miserable keeping my hands off for the next week while she settles in. What a gorgeous snake, my poor camera phone just can't do her justice!

I swear she gets better every shed. Lily is the definition of a “glow up”.

I haven’t posted much of Her Exalted Excessiveness, Queen of the Blue Bedroom,Grandmaster Hissybutt, Lady of Ginormous Poo, Gracie in quite some time, but here she is while my husband was cleaning her cage and she decided to bless him with a flicking of the royal tongue and an opportunity for a booping of the royal snoot.
