Well, I never thought I would buy another so soon, but my love for snakes is growing and when I seen Martha, I knew I had to have her. After having my husband drive all the way down to Petland to see her, he showed just as much enthusiasm as I thought he would over her. She was in her new home less than an hour later. She is absolutely gorgeous. She measures 56 inches long (about 4.5 feet) and 8 inches (22cm) around at her biggest point. She is very gentle and docile. The people at Petland said that she has been quite strikey and nervous around everyone, but when they handed her to me, she sat in my arms and around my neck like she was at home with me. They were impressed because she did the same thing for my husband when he held her for the first time. I think that they know when you are nervous and when you aren't. She has tolerated a lot of handling tonight, as we had to get her home set up. I just went out and bought a long rubbermaid container with lid, covered the bottom in moistened coconut bark. A heating pad underneath the container on one end, a water bowl on the other end, and she's happy. We have to punch some holes in the top for air flow, but it's nice and moist, and 86 degrees. Monty is happy as well tonight. He scarfed down 2 adult mice in a row. He is happy in his stable environment, which by the way, we're happy to report is something we acheived. Here are some pics of Martha.
