Won a mojave in a forgotton auction!

Last Saturday morning, I placed a bid on a mojave male that was 295g on a reptile auction page on facebook. I didn't think anything of it until today when I noticed I still had the current bid at 65 bucks and there was a half hour left. That half hour went by and nobody bid on him, so I will now be getting a new mojave male on thursday! I was not expecting that at all. What had happened was until today people could post animals they were selling as well, so auctions kept getting pushed way down the page. The officially changed this rule today and no more sales are allowed on the site unless it is an auction. The new rule should prevent things like what happened to me from happening as often. Anyways, I basically get a well started mojave male for an amazing price, plus he's throwing in a normal female for an additional 10 bucks. I'm sure he was expecting more from the auction, so hats off to him for giving me such a great price on him. When your collection is still small like mine, its very exciting when you get a new morph! I have no problem purchasing single gene animals at this point in time, nor do I mind getting males right now. I think I will find it rewarding to make a lot of my combos from scratch.

I will post more pictures when he and she arrive!

Where do people hear about these facebook things? Why I am I not involved?! lol

do a search on facebook. most are closed groups and you have to request to join. that's what i did.

He looks good, congrats. :)

Edit: Hopefully in the spring/next summer I will have some nice enchi and pastel yellow belly females you can add to your collection. :P

What did you search for? Just ball python? I know somebody mentioned finding a classified for a ball python on facebook once. I don't know where those are either. Grats though, that's an awesome deal. :D

I'm hoping, I've seen 3 locks so far and they were all with my enchi and one of my females is pounding food. She ate 2 mediums rats yesterday and still came back looking for more. :P

NERD has started doing some auctions too. I know how it feels though - seems like I always miss the good stuff! Congrats Matt! He's sure a handsome boy! :gj:
