A couple days ago I made a post about this pewter girl I was going to pick up. I've been looking for a pewter and I knew when I saw her picture I had to have her. I was told she is 347g.

The person I got her from is a local breeder. She told me she got screwed on when she had first bought the pewter. She paid $400 for her and was told she was over 1200g. Well of course I didn't pay what she paid because she's so small.

So I pick her up yesterday. Upon seeing her I thought her head looked a bit big for a 2013 (which I was assuming she was), and that she appeared overall more mature.

The breeder asked if I want to know the year and I say yeah of course (thinking maybe she might be a 2012). Get this.....SHE IS A 2010! She is THREE years old.
I stood there in shock and then started laughing, thinking she was pulling my chain, and saying "nuh uh...no...that can't possibly be true" etc.
Well, it is true. The first owner fed her 1 hopper mouse once per month.

I still feel in shock. I can't believe the ignorance, the laziness, the neglect people can put on a poor animal!

Here is the original picture I was sent of her. Perfect pewter in my opinion, EXACTLY what I was looking for.



Here is her after getting her home. She's very deep in shed, poor picture quality. I'll take more once she sheds and settles in.
