Amazing!

Tonight the craziest thing happened! I picked up a female albino BP on sunday so I've had her for all of 3 days. The breeder said that she has only eaten live but I got her to eat a f/t. I felt like all of the odds were against me and the only thing I had going for me was the fact that the last time she was weighed, she was 85 grams so I figured she's probably growing and hungry (and that the last time she ate was last tuesday). I thawed out a little fuzzy that I had, ran it under warm water to get the "freezer smell" off of it, and then dangled it. She wasn't even interested at all, so I just left it on a piece of newspaper. I came back a few hours later and it was gone!

All of the odds were against me because I feel like I've handled her a lot recently, she's in an actual tank now whereas she was in a tupperware box before, and she's just in a new place.

I just felt like I needed to share. Here's a picture of her from a few days ago:https://33.media.tumblr.com/277fc578...0dbo1_1280.jpg

Yayyy that is sweet! Getting a snake to switch from live to f/to is always such a nice feeling! Congrats on making a fast easy switch :) and that albino is killer!

She is! She's so docile and nice. She coils up in my hands and wraps herself around my fingers. I paid $200 for her, and another $70 for a 55 gallon tank, lamp, hides, plastic bin, and a heating pack with a snake bag to transport her during the 2-hour drive.

Oh wow what a great deal!! That's nice that she's a sweetheart too :) I have a girl that is as sweet as can be too. She's a big ole chunkster though lol she's never missed a meal. Hopefully your albino will be a really good eater too :D

I hope so too. I plan on breeding her once she's up to weight. If you're interested in a male albino, check out Deb's Exotics on facebook. She has the male for sale as well (You can check out NH craigslist as well)

Congrats on the success Reed. And I know you've probably gotten this constantly but that is a gorgeous snake; I love albino's and her color variance is stunning. She is going to be so pretty as she grows. Is that the one you had in the lower tank that I was interested in seeing?

Yes it is! I feel so blessed to have such a pretty girl. Next on the list is a pied. The breeder I got Cleo from had a female Pied for $500 and she said that I would be able to put her on lay-away if I wanted. She was so pretty and it was my first time seeing a pied in real life. It was like I was looking at the holy grail.

Haha I know what you mean. Getting a Pied is my dream snake. Whether I get it from a het breed or just break down and buy one. However I recently learned about the existence of the Bels morph and it definitely got added to the list. However I think a pastel pied or a ghost pied is still my number one eventual desire.

my number 1 desire is something that is loosely referred to as a "pumpkin pied" where the one of the splotches of color looks like a jack-o-lantern. My birthday is on Halloween so that would be my ULTIMATE snake. http://gallery.kingsnake.com/data/90...pyFace-med.jpg

My albino was a food hog too. She ate right after I picked her up from the breeder. She ate a f/t with no problems even though she was fed live only. Few 100 grams per month for 10 month s!
