So, I had contacted this girl on Craigslist about this female that she had up for adoption. I asked her how she knew that it was female and she said that her friend is a vet tech and had sexed it when she got it.

So, we made arrangements for me to pick it up on Monday. I met her, checked the snake out, popped it in the bag, paid her the adoption fee and went on my merry way. I didn't sex it at the time, because I never told her that I was only interested if it was a female.

Get it home - and yup - it's a boy! So, I've got this very nice normal male, and I'm not quite sure what I'll do with him yet. I initially thought I'd keep him a month or two, make sure he feeds, and then put him up for sale. But the more I look at him, the more I'm not sure. I don't need a normal male, but there's just something "odd" about him I can't put my finger on.

So, here he is. He has a very burgundy cast to him, and has a very clean belly, as well as the markings in his pattern and on his neck stripe are like a faded chocolate.
