I bought/adopted a "female" pastel off of craigslist a month ago, and knowing my luck I really didn't think it would turn out to be a female. But I had her sexed yesterday and it IS a girl!! She is also a bit heavier than I thought, she's 810 grams. And she is supposedly 2 years old. I'm glad I got her, I can't believe she was only $100!
She was being fed multiple live mice per feeding, but I have her eating live rats. I will try my darndest to switch her to f/t.
Anyhoo, some more pics. The yellows on her sides are so bright, she is really pretty. The scars don't take too much away from her looks.
