My sonoran gopher progression thread

Hey all! So my friend had to rehome this girl to me, as he couldn't care for her any more. (I have lots of reptile experience is why) she is just a normal, but she is absolutely gorgeous :)

So the story behind him giving her to me, is that she hadn't eaten in about two months. He also didn't have time to try and figure out what was wrong. I think that the feeders were just slightly too large, and she didn't like that. Plus she was raised on live mice before he got her so she might be a little more picky than most pits. Anyways, he gave her to me and I scented her rat with mouse substrate and she ate right away :)

Congrats on getting her to take a rat Spaz. I wouldn't want to feed a full grown pit 5-7 mice per feeding. My bull snakes will eat anything I offer, Rats, mice, chicks it doesn't matter. They really are bottomless pits :).

They are beautiful snakes.
I've found them wild here - sadly, only as road kill.

Nice looking gal you got there. :gj:

Thanks guys! :) I was happy to get her to eat since she hadn't eaten for my friend in quite a while. According to the breeder her parents are wild caught because they had near perfect saddles and he wanted to breed them, they are local here too. I love seeing the wild ones, they are all so feisty!

Any thoughts , tips or useful info on Hypo Ghost Bull snakes .. guys ?

Thank you .
