    Got him!!
    So I got my first BP today. My daughter and I drove up to Birmingham and she got to pick him out. I wanted to get a 2011 but she like this one the best. He's been eating live fuzzy mice so I have to figure out how to get him onto frozen rats. Right now he is in a 10gl tank. When he outgrows that, I already have a 36" Neodeshia here for him. They said he is a Pastel but he looks normal to me. He is a mover, been exploring this tank all day and hasn't gone into his hides once. The place we got him from kept him a "Kritter Keeper" that didn't have a hide so I guess he's not use to them. I also got my thermostats so everything in the tank is going great. Here are a few pics.

    He looks normal to me too, but he's still very cute! Congrats! :)

    I hope you didn't pay for a "Pastel". Either way, he's a cutie. Your daughter chose nicely. :gj:

    Well, as long as you love your new snake, don't be too sad. Though, if I were you, I'd at least call the people you bought him from and question them about it. I could be wrong, because the pictures do not show the whole body, but it definitely appears to be a normal. If he is indeed a normal male, then you probably would've paid much less than if he were labeled a pastel male. He does appear to have nice flames though! :)

    Yea I love his markings. He is very very pretty. The sex is unknown. I just said him just because but they did assume me that they don't have anything that is not captive breed. This is the "trusted" pet shop here as they often go to the show in Birmingham to get their animals. But who knows honestly. Either way I like him and I just hope I can easily get him on f/t rats.
