    Can they become breeders one day?
    Picked up a pair of late 2010 het pieds.

    The thing is that they are very small! Only about 350 grams!!

    They guy I bought them from obviously didn't know what he was doing, they both hade stuck shed and he said that he had hibernated them "to get them in the mood".

    I felt sorry for the snakes so I bought them anyway (for 500 swe crowns, which translates to about 80-85 $. Very cheap). They are currently on a 3-day feeding schedule and eating great. Both their last sheds have come off in one piece.

    So to my question: will I be able to get them to breedable size one day? Or will they stay "dwarfed" for the rest of their lives since the have missed like a year of growing?

    Edit: This is probably the wrong section of the forum:P Mr Moderator, please move the thread;P

    Yes you will be able to get them to breedable size.

    I wouldn't expect any Pieds though...

    Great. I got papers on them (with pics) from a reputable breeder so I'm pretty sure that they are het pied:). Otherwise I would not have bought them.

    Well I for one am pleasantly surprised and happy for you! Usually people post something like this and someone has to crush them by saying theyre probably not actually het for whatever...

    Its a win win. If they produce then what ya get from whatvya paid is like winningbthe lottery. Ifbthey dont prove you can still make your money back and a few bucks. Keep the husbandry right and keep em on an aggresive feeding schedule the female should breed in 2013
