Comments: 8/2/13 - Eating like a little pig and getting less defensive. His oranges have really begun to come in. I want to say he is about 1/3 bigger than Peanut Butter, though they have identical husbandry and feeding. He was always slightly bigger though. He should be a stunning adult. I'm almost regretting putting him up for sale, but I can't keep them both.

5/25/13 - slight over-bite, PET ONLY.

4/21/13 - much more mellow, though still a bit nervous. He is up to fuzzy mice every 7 days because they are a bit bigger than I had expected (go figure, everything I order from this new supplier comes small, except the fuzzy mice...). Lovely snake, and the orange is getting more pronounced since his last shed.

3/22/13 - Jelly was soaked to help get some stuck shed off. He's still really nippy, but not as flighty as PB is...

Jelly is slightly larger and more orange than Peanut Butter. Both are a bit nippy, but should be able to overcome that once they get used to being handled.
Pics will come after they settle in some more.

I think it was an experiment to see how well they sold (which wasn't that well, since they had them for over a month with no interest according to the manager)... I have that same dichotomy with scaleless snakes (not a fan of the scaleless beardies tho). Once I got over the weird skin thing, they are actually kinda cute. I love how Jelly's 3 scales over his eyes make him look like Groucho Marks... and the pic with his tongue out makes it look like he has a cigar. lol!
