New family member

Went to get a GBB for me in the weekend, and my wife liked this cutie for herself

Chinchilla:

Sorry for the bad pics, but she moves too much to get a clear shot

Aww! So cute. I had chinchillas for years. If you have any questions lemme know

Chinchillas are AWESOME! Love their fur!

Ludedor, thanks, I'm sure I'll get questions

Will get more pics up once I set up her new cage.

I'm not really a fan of mammals, but I do have to admit that she is kind of cute.

She's cute and fury. Must be nice to cuddle. lolz
Are black ones more expensive than whiter ones? I know you prefer black..

Haha, yep. A really interesting animal, with the softest fur. And she's fast!

Black and White are usually pretty expensive compared to the regular grey ones. Most black and white ones here are actually imported from central europe.
Lucky enough, we got these straight from a breeder, he had got overcrowded with babies and had to get rid of them fast, so it cost only about 1/4 of the price of a grey one.

icic.. pretty neat deal. lolz

Btw, do they all have personality as in, some will tolerate handling more and some might be jumpy and not stay in your hands..

It'll be a torture to me if i get such a cuddly looking pet and not able to squeeze her tiny little cheek.. so-to-speak.. lolz

How is yours doing with you?

I'm sure Ludedor will be able to answer that better than me lol. This is our first. But as far as I know they do have individual personalities, but not sure if some of them could be more jumpy/scared.

But she's super calm, wants to get out as soon as she sees us. We're letting her out in the room for few minutes each evening. The other days she was running a lot, as she just didn't want to go back. But last night she seemed to have calmed down pretty much. Gotta make a vid these days.

Yes, please do make a vid bro

Ludedor24.. knock knock*

I get what you mean. I got a milksnake last month, now I'm wondering if to keep it or not, as I'm not sure if I'll have the time/patience to "tame" it.

Ok stop me if i go too far away from "New family member"

Milk-snake at least they are much smaller and wouldn't do much damage i guess?
Anyway i still hope to get one too.. lol

Well, in theory we're still talking about new (or future) family members, aren't we?

Yeah, I guess I'll have to just take some bites until she gets used with me. It's than thin wormy look that actually scares me, probably remember too much the colubrids I've faced as a kid.

She's beautiful though, got to take some pics straight after she goes through her incoming shed. But I'm still after a pair of hondurensis (normal or tangerine) and of course, get this one sexed and to find a mate for it

Updated pic... bit better this time, although there seems to be some ISO noise
