 Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 12:38 pm Post subject: Finally they're here!!! |
 |
Just got the shipment in this morning a day late, but better late than never.
Here they are:
Cleopatra - Female (above)
100% Het Albino
Caesar - Male (above)
100% Het Albino
Sorry about the shaky pictures my wife was shaking because she thought they were going to snap at her hand actually had to take 4 pictures of the male because they kept coming out blurry, heh. They are her birthday present.
Female is a monster she was wrapped around a towel and it was amazing to see how much effort it took to unwind her from it. The male should have been named curious George he's all over the place and loves to be held more so than the female which seems a bit shy but then again it is the first day. Now it's time to put them down and look but no touch. 
EDIT: Before I forget also would like to thank Ron for the call this morning to make sure we got them and everything is ok, thanks we really appreciate it.

 YAY! They finally arrived...And seem just fine...Great looking snakes by the way...
I've a question...Other than you right now know who's who...I mean I can see that Cleopatra (COOL NAMES BY THE WAY) Has a broken up stripe toward the back of her...Does the male have something distiquished so you can remember who's who?

I was going to remind you of this...But you seem to already know...Gonna be hard I am sure...But a snake that will come out and eat when it's time is more important...So I keep chanting over and over in my head...Since mine will be coming NEXT WEEK!!!!

The female seems alot lighter than the male, it's hard to tell in picture but the female has alot lighter greens and she also seems to be thicker.
They seem to have found a favorite spot the male like the hotter hide inside of the tank at 90-92 degrees right under the lamp and the female tends to go over to the milder side which is in the 79-82 degree range I put them back in both on the hotter side and they went back to the same spots they were in when they initially came into the tank.
Heres the tank by the way:
They are both housed together for now no choice but I did find a rank for a really decent price pre-wired with heat and I'm just waiting for it to be shipped ordered it yesterday.
Heres a pic of that:
Don't pay any attention to the tubs they don't come with any I'll probably set it up differently with 4 or 5 32qt tubs and maybe 2 of the 16qt tubs, I need to hit target and see if they have the right size. Now I just need to read up on how to wire up a Helix thermostat to a pre-wired rack and I should be all done, I have some researching to do. I know I'll probably be getting another snake soon so it wouldn't make sense for me to get another tank.

How can they sell a rack without the tubs? Rack systems don't come with tubs?

Sometimes they can, but alot of people sell ranks without tubs. They are fairly cheap at Target or KMart but what makes a rack a rack is the size of the shelving partitions to fit just right and the heat wiring, the tubs are easy to get on your own, unless of course they are DISCONTINUED!
I'm sending Animal Plastics an e-mail maybe they'll know where I can get some or maybe Rubber-Maid has a similar tub to this Sterilite.

Sorry to worry you, but both those tubs are discontinued.
We have tried the west coast targets, and some east coast targets stores.
They don't have any online at target.com
Anyone selling these racks knows that the tubs aren't available.
In my mind it's basically fraud. But of course the old saying says buyer beware,
but deceiving people into buying racks that have no tubs available, not kewl

Good luck with find a replacement, if you find one let me know, because there really isn't one that's exact.

Thinking about canceling my order all together now, do you know of any affordable mid-small size racks with a similar config to the rack above? I really did recieve good reviews from people who had owned Animal Plastic racks, but tring to sell a rack that you won't have tubs for is just shameless!

We are using the 28 qt tubs, and it's a pain in the rear with lids.
We were told that we will be receiving the 30 tubs for our racks, soon I hope.
I haven't tried the 32qt latchables, that may work fine.
