new snake friend

So i always looking for gems on Craigslist. I was surfing some at work a couple days ago. There was a post for a champagne , echii, yellow belly pied for sale I messaged about the price and such since it was listed cheap. they also in different post listed a couple other morphs hatchlings and such). I ended up picking up one of my dream snakes for years, I just set up in Qt a banana Pied. I got this beautiful male for $40 bucks and i drove out this morning and picked him up. Back when 4thesnakelady and i got married, we bought a banana male for our project needs when down in Florida.. about 4 years ago she decides to sell most of our snakes, ones we jointly owned and such without consulting me., saying by the time we could buy the snake cheaper than it would cost us to produce them.
so once I can get the photos from my phone I will share them.

it forgetten so much if i don't use it often lol ...

Can't wait to meet him.

I was able to upload a couple pics to my gallery..

update mainly.. he was/is problem feeder I believe he does know how to deal with live prey he seem to prefer a prekilled rodent in then he sucks it down like first meal in years.

As long as your feeders are parasite free and you know how to humanely euthanize them, I don't see a problem.

Sometimes, just getting frozen rodents from a different source can be the ticket -- the food or bedding used by a certain rodent producer might not be bad but just might not give the smell/taste that the snake is expecting.
