New snake! The good with the bad...

[Tidus10]

So today I found a guy on craigslist with some morphs for sale and I picked up a male lesser 100% het pied 250grams for $325 :-O

I've soaked him twice and sprayed him with mite off and now he's in ISO.. What else can I do?

Unless there are signs of any health issues, just enjoy having him Settle him in, feed him. Hes stunning... Love the neck.

Among other things, don't bet he's a het pied.

No one in their right mind is going to sell a lesser het pied for $325, that is what a plain lesser goes for.

Unless the person you got it from let you see the parents, let you watch them breed, let you watch the female lay the eggs, let you watch this snake hatch and then sold it to you, I can pretty much promise it's NOT a 100% het pied. 66% het or 50% maybe, but not 100%.

For reference, a male mojave 100% het pied goes for around $3000.

I guess you haven't heard of Steves white gold projects huh??

To the OP.. Definitely breed it to a proven het pied or pied to prove it out before ever selling it as a het pied because I too believe it can't be a 100% het. That aside, it's a beautiful snake and still a good deal for a lesser. Nothing more you need to do. Just keep it separate from any other herps for 2-3 months to be sure it has no sickness it can pass on and everything should be fine.

He's a pretty boy het pied or not. Good luck with him.
