    Hi,

    Why would you need to ask a bunch of strangers? Either you want it or you don't ... right? :confuzd:

    Hope this helps. :sunny:

    If you want her, get her. First though do make sure she is in perfect health, no ticks, mites, sickness, etc....

    Adam's right - if she's speaking to you, then get her. I know when I picked up a couple of adults, they were all I could think about and I had to rush to get back there to pick them up. THEN I showed them off! :D


    Do they guarantee her to be female?

    Well, I am asking, because I really am streched right now fund wise, but she seems like a pretty specimen, for a common , and I am so new at this.I haven't seen many big ones in person. She is a captive raised animal. Does she have a reduced pattern to her? Or is she pretty avarage looking, I guess that's what I want to know. I think she is a good price too, for a big girl.

    That information in the beginning would have made the original question make more sense. ;)

    Given this new information, my opinion would be to pass on her ... being low on funds is never the right time to take a new life into your care.

    Hope this helps. :sunny:

    Well, she would be snake # 10, ( I know that is pidly compared to others on this forum :P ), so I am not new to snake keeping, I've had really good luck with my others, I would take great care of her ( My human offspring seem to be doing great too ;) . I just don't have a BP this big, so I was fascinated by her, and she is so sweet. Plus, I have a male pastel, and male spider who will be ready to breed in a year, or so. My other females are 06, so I'm looking at a while.

    If you can budget to get her then do so. Especially if you plan to breed your pastel or spider. if you don't have the money to properly care for her, then pass though

    It's also important to remember that nothing is known about any new animal ... having "just enough" to bring that animal home is great until something turns up health wise ... not having enough to treat an RI, abcess, or other condition that can turn into hundreds of dollars worth of vet bills would certainly be a concern of mine if I were ever tight on funds and considering a new animal.

    Hope this helps. :sunny:
