I have been toying with an idea. My friend has a nippy female BP at her shop that is not selling, because, well people only seem to want want a BP who is, well, not nippy. She eats well on f/t mice. She was an '04 hatchling from Reptile Addicts, and she's a nice size now.
Now, I have 4 males at home, and I really want to focus more on breeding in the next few years. So, I was thinking of offering her a trade, namely, a male for a female. I have one male that she really likes, since he is very docile and eats well. She always handles him when she comes over and I know she would go for the trade. A more docile BP would also be more likely to sell at her store, and in the meantime she would enjoy him more than Miss Nippy. And I could raise the female up and breed her in a few years along with my female Bela.
Would you? The male I am thinking of trading, is an '03 and has pretty cool markings while her female is nothing exceptional. But I really want another female.
