Exactly how long does it take most Leopards to warm up to a person. I've had these three for two weeks and they still don't like it when I pick them up.[IMG]
It has been my experience that baby leos are very skittish. Just give them time to grow up, and they'll settle down.
They're cute boogers.. you plan on breeding them someday?

Oh yeah!!!
I just want to get a little more familiar with them first. I'm still rated an amateur, so I need more familiarity handling them too. I also have a SD coastal blue rosy boa that I would love to breed. I purchased him/her as an mexican rosy boa and found out from a breeder in syracuse that it's a Coastal, and a very rare one at that. The guy who sold him/her to Petco must've did it by mistake or they were wild caught and got mixed up. He can't wait until he/she is old enough to tell gender so he can hook me up with the opposite for breeding. I'm really excited.

Yeah, babies can be pretty skittish at first, but they generally calm down with age.
And...I hate to burst your bubble, but that looks like a regular old Rosy Boa (possibly a Baja, Whitewater, I can't really tell from your avatar)....never heard them called "Coastal Blue" before....I had one a while back. They typically go for around $60-80 at herp shows.

I thought...
Yeah, I figured but she's still a keeper. I don't think she is a "plain" rosy though. She might be common but most rosys are red and white haven't seen one without the white stripes, well at least not too often--maybe yellow, but never blue. Although I've only seen a few, they were white and black and I think one had a more yellowish tint to it.
