I got my first snake today! He's not been sexed yet, but I'm pretty sure he's male. Even though he's only about 10" long he already has quite prominent cloacal spurs and has quite a long, slim tail. So for now I'm assuming he's male until I find someone reliable to probe him (the guy who knows how to do it at the shop was away on holiday when I bought the snake, so I can always come back later).
I've named him Ripley (any Alien fans?) because initially I was looking for a female, but they only had 2 babies at the shop and I liked this one the best  . Sex is pretty irrelevant, I don't mind that Ripley is techincally a female name! Besides, when the Alien films were written the part of Ripley was intended to be for a guy so I guess it works either way really!
I didn't take too many pictures of him as he was curled quite tightly into a ball and obviously needed to just go into his new home and settle in. Here he is...
The nice thing is that my friends who came with me to get the snake ended up buying the other one in the shop! As it happens they preferred the look of the snake that I didn't pick, so it worked out rather well! The babies were from the same clutch, so we have sibling snakies 
Looking forward to next weekend when I can start feeding/handling. I'm so chuffed with my newest addition... can you tell?  |

The crazed yodelling and barking always seems to happen during the crucial parts of films or when you're on the phone.  |

Cat - love the dogs - sooo much bigger than the whippet though - we wouldnt all fit in the bed at night!!! Lol.
Spor I love golden retreviers - in fact I love most dogs and animals - which is why our house is slowly turning into a zoo!!
Xauto - know the feeling with the yodelling too - happens all the time - though Dylan does try to speak as well!! |

Awww lovely doggies everyone!
Hehe golden retrievers all look the same to me spor , especially at shows when the ring is full of them... it's like a sea of golden fur and smiley dog faces, but I couldn't pick one out! Though we did used to have a golden retriever x yellow lab who was lovely  . To be honest, there aren't many dogs I don't love... it's just the tiny hairy ones which breathe really loudly that I'm not altogether sold on! |

Yeah those photos were in Brean ... I live in Swindon so it's not too far to go. Yeah they do play fight a lot... since getting Neela Django has turned into such a noisy child! They're always playing, which I obviously don't mind, but does he have to bark and yodel at her allllll the time?! lol |

They are lazy - but they love to play and fight with each other.
Are you in Brean??? I think I recognise the beach? |

Yeah they are quite similar! I think it's the pretty white blaze . Hehe I love their cute matching collars!
Whippets are great, couldn't want a better dog really. Lazy most of the time, but so much fun when you take them out... and so affectionate and silly. For me it's sighthounds every time! |

I know what you mean... every time I see a little box around the house I make a mental note of it for later.
kashie... I'll show you mine if you show me yours!
Here are my whippets! Django (5 year old black brindle dog) and Neela (1 year old blue and white parti bitch).

I couldnt agree more...
when I think of the money Ive spent on stuff that they have soon grown out of...
Now not a toilet roll or kitchen roll gets thrown away... |
