Black Pastel Ghost Pinstripe

So I picked this little girl up last week and have not really decided what I'm going to do with her.

She's a beautiful snake no doubt, but she was sold as a male. I drove 2 hours to get her and was like "yeah I guess I'll take her anyway". Now I did get her for a crazy low price, but I was supposed to be picking up a male to pair to my Humble Bee in a year. I'm just really torn as to what to do with her now. Keep her for 2 years and enjoy her or see if I can't parlay her into something that fits my plans?

Hmm, personally I would sell her if she did not fit into any of my plans. Not only do you still have to find a male for your honey bee but now you have to find a male for your black pastel ghost pinstripe. And that is also a lot of wasted food for something you might not even want. It is just a thought though. She is very pretty on the other hand and only you could decide what you truly want to do with her. You could sell her for the exact same small price and not lose any money or sell her for a bit more and make a profit or not sell her at all and see what you can do with her.

I personnally would keep her as a pet or if you really want to breed see when you do get a male for your bee to have the offsprings breed with her? Its a long time from now but would still be interesting.

i'd say find a male that works with both :snake::snake::snake:

Nice looking snake! Good luck with whatever you decide to do with her!

Incidentally, I lost out on a beautiful black pastel ghost female at the Pomona reptile show today. I looked at the snake, walked away to think about it for no more than 10 minutes, and went back. The person right in front of me bought it. Would have been fun to eventually pair with my leopard jigsaw.

I agree with se7en.

Also I would keep her for two reasons.

1. Her value will only grow as she grows. I don't know what you paid but as a breeding size (or almost) female her price would be higher. Yes that's two years of time and food but that leads to reason 2.

2. Two years is a long time..but. .You may run across a male for her that you would like better than the combo your humble bee would have made with her if she could have bred. If by two years you don't find anything you want to breed to her, there's reason one.

I'd keep her as she's a stunner !

Her subtle beauty is rather appealing and if I were a couple of thousand miles closer I'd be making you an offer you couldn't refuse !

Personally I'd keep her. Besides being a good looking snake, three gene females are always valuable as breeders even if they don't currently fit your plans.

Repticon is next weekend in Raleigh. I suppose I can see what I find there then make my decision.
