Looking for special potential homes for "special" needs snakes

[snakelady]

So, I'm not set on getting these guys new homes, because I'm more than prepared to keep them for life, should the need arise to do so. These very awesome and beautiful babies are from Athena and Blayze's litter, the one that has had so many problems from the start. In full disclosure, Dr. Maas at the Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital stressed that these babies never be bred, as we cannot be certain that these "flaws" wouldn't be passed on if bred.

The babies I am offering to new homes would have minimal, if any, rehoming fee, as a great home is most important. I am going to require new homes to sign a contract stating that these snakes will never be used in any breeding projects, and that if the need to rehome them arises, they must be returned to me. So, here are the kids that I have. These 5 snakes are eating consistently on live rat pinks, or mouse hoppers. I have not yet attempted to switch them to f/t, as I wanted to get them really well established on food before I risked anything - enjoy!

Zipper - her main "issue" is her eyes. Her right eye is extremely undersized, and her left eye is bigger than it should be - in short, she appears to be blind. It hasn't hampered her attitude, and she still can hunt, stalk, and kill her prey no problems. She has an awesome pattern, too

Thursday - named for the day of the week she was born, this little girl is the only one of the litter with no outward appearance of any issues. She's a good eater, but has a very feisty attitude, and is quick to bite if she feels she's getting messed with =)

Kismet - Kismet (means Kharma) was given virtually no chance at survival. Her tail is "stumped" and severly kinked. She's my most consistent eater, and has grown a ton. She's got a great pattern and color to her, and is so sweet

Fluke - named for how the litter turned out (pattern and colorwise). She's eating consistently, about to go into her second shed, and awesome. She has two very small kinks near the tip of her tail, and other than that, looks great

Athens - by far the "runt" of the litter, this little girl is awesome. She has a domed head, a birth defect for sure. Her colors are fantastic, and she's taking food like it's going out of style. She's very tiny, and probably won't get very large full grown. She's definitely "special"

Thanks, Kim! I agree, but than again, I'm quite biased

[tinkerbell]

I am telling you, I love those little ones more and more every day, and right now I am having baby boa withdraws because I haven't seen them in a few days now (which is a bit unusual for us).

lol - you can come hang out while I clean tomorrow, if you really want :) There's always Friday too ;)

[tinkerbell]

I am just going to find a way to spend all day friday with you, (hopefully with out kids) as I am trying to get my spring cleaning done (I know that it is summer, but I never spring clean on time)

anyway-back to the beautiful babies that anyone would be lucky to have in their collection.

[Nippy]

I love Athens' tiny little head! She is precious as are all your babies. :)
I have a "special" snake (my IJ, Hecate) and I've had "special" fish before and they have all beat the odds. I love "specials." :wub:

[snakelady]

I will.....he was just looking at Athens and saying how cute she is...soooooo, we would love to give her a special home if you dont have one lined up. We are making sure the new place has a nice large snake area. :)
I think Athens would do awesome with you guys ;) Tear....

yeah, it would HAVE to be without kids, cause I'm having some other people over on Friday to look at snakes as well, and I don't think I could handle THAT many people in my apartment

[Adams Family]

ohh man... to weak.... love zipper...must not...ted will kill me...... ahhhhhh....:wub::wub::wub: cute little specials...

[tinkerbell]

Thankfully my mother lives around the corner so I can take them over there for the day.:yes:

[snakelady]

Looks like Kismet may have found her forever home... I'm so sad at finding them new homes, but know it's for the best... tear...

[tinkerbell]

:clap::clap: congrats Kismet
*tears* and *hugs* for you Katie, I know that it is hard for you, but you always do what is best for them.

[Kessers]

*sniffs sadly* Looks like I'm too late for Athens lol. I'll go through the pics with my Hubby tomorrow when he gets home from Vegas. I'd still love to bring one of those special babies home.

[snakelady]

Nothing is in stone yet - I can chat more with Dave and Jena if you guys are set on Athens, as well... we can figure something out for sure
