[snake] My snake!
Paid for but not shipped. This is her:

She didn't take her first meal so I'll have to wait a longer eternity for her to eat two meals before I get her. Maybe a couple weeks.
My decision process:
5/14: In response to supercheesegirl's post I started looking at pets, and was thinking it could be fun to get a guinea pig / chinchilla / scorpion / tarantula / snake...
5/15: Decided on a snake.
5/21: Damn near put a deposit down on a snow corn from Kathy Love. Strongly recommend her, hate her website.
5/24: Decided compromising on a smaller snake in fear of my next move was a bad idea, decided to get an anerythristic boa (a morph with no red).
5/24: Dorothy was born.
5/25: Decided I wanted a normal instead of a morph to avoid inbreeding.
5/26: Decided I wanted a Surinam (country north of Brazil) locality normal.
5/30: Found a breeder of Surinams who just had babies. More difficult than I expected.
6/05: Post-shed pictures and prices went online, I paid for my baby.
7/12: Dorothy was delivered.
Please ask questions. While this has only been a three week period, it has been one of obsessive research. Please assume that I have thought things through thoroughly and have strong opinions behind every related detail, it should make things go quicker.
