haha I'm pretty sure it's like this for everyone. Definitely is for me!
My two snakes were freighted, so I had to go pick them up at the air port, and as soon as I see that little container with "Live Animal" plastered all over it, and the little air holes.. I'm like a little kid at Christmas!

Can't wait to see some pics

This hobby is dangerously addictive, that "something new" feeling has to be one of the best ...

[Jacknife]

Nice one, I had the same feeling today when I went and picked up my very first Central Beardie.
Over the moon right now.

 

[Skippii]

Love the names! They go well together would love to see Saffron as well, definitely let us know when they've settled in

She looks gorgeous Ron. Hope they settle in well - I have no doubts they will.

Their li'l sis will be a little longer which is not of great concern to us - we would rather she be ready than take her early.

We have 2 kids here that have been nagging all week asking 'Can we go visit Cinnamon again today??'.......So we may be in touch for another visit soon!

Cheers,
Robert

very nice ron and yeah i get that giggly giddy feeling aswell when a new reptile is coming love it just cant get enough come to think of it i need that feeling again having severe withdrawals lol...well done ron keep us updated mate...and im almost 40 so that feeling wont be going in a hurry ..good to see you can still feel that way at your age ron lol.....great buy mate

 

[ronhalling]

Yeah m8 i thought i was at that stage in my life when not much excited me, well these 2 lil critters sure proved me wrong.....................................Ron

 

[ronhalling]

i did not think any of the pics of the male (Saffron) turned out coz he was in constant motion when i got them home and did not want to stress him, but it would seem i did get 1, so here is a pic of the male as well, not going to disturb them for another 5 or 6 days so this is it till then................................................................Ron

 

[TheJoyces]

Ron they are awesome!! Thanks heaps for sharing and great names too!!!

 

[ronhalling]

well 10 days later the kids seem to have settled in quite well, every afternoon and evening now they seem to spend more time cruising around their homes and sitting atop their rocks playing king(and queen) of the hill and seem to be waiting for me to get them out for 20 mins or so of handling, my photography has not improved because of my shaking so i think i will video them for now on and do frame captures instead, the first 3 progress shots are my lil boy Saffron, the second 3 are my adorable lil girl Jasmin, lol you may notice Saffron is a sticky beak and has to see what is going on all the time...................................Ron

 

[Skippii]

Aww Ron, they're sweeties. So glad to hear they're settling in well

 

[Gruni]

Nice markings Ron they look great, I love the way the girl rears up so much Skittles doesn't do that so much when I want to get a good pic.

They are gorgeous Ron. You sound like a proud dad.
When I picked up my first snake from the airport. I was a but worried as I had just read some horror stories about AAE. But when I saw the box I was so excited. I opened it up in the carpark and texted the breeder straight away. It was the same when I picked up my second one. I also spent the hours before they came checking their enclosure or click clack, even though I had it all running the week before they arrived and I knee it was fine.

I recently went on two week holiday up to Alice Spring and when I came home I was so excited to see my two boys. It was exactly the same feeling.
