Sullivan's Last Photo Shoot - DUW

Some of you who were members last year may remember how excited I was last year this time to be getting this gorgeous young female who I named Kiah:

And then, after a sleepless night in early February, the day came when "she" arrived!

And then....much to the credit of the seller, he e-mails me two days later asking me to please get "her" probed, because he was putting away "her" feed card, and the card indicated she was actually a he. He was sick that he had not popped "her" before shipping "her" off to me.

Everything happens for a reason - had this not happened, I may not have found Justin Kobylka, who is a breeder in my state, who agreed to meet me at his facility and sex Kiah for me - alas, Kiah was indeed a beautiful boy. I was heart broken, but re-named him Sullivan. I soon discovered, that Sullivan was trying to tell me that he was a boy all along! His marking spells "Him"

So, Sullivan was replaced by Pandora - and the seller insisted that I keep dear, sweet Sully.

Our own Becky (SatanicIntention) has always admired Sullivan, and when I finally made the decision that I just couldn't house a normal male that I had no intentions of breeding (besides Kashmire - he was my first, will always have a home with me), I contacted Becky to see if she was still interested in him. She didn't hesitate to say yes, and so tomorrow he is TX bound! Becky does intend to breed him - I can't wait to see his babies, and maybe I can talk her into one of his daughters one day!

For Becky - here are the pictures I promised you, taken today. I'm still getting used to this camera, so please excuse the amatuer photography.

Goodbye Sully, my sweet boy! You be good for your new momma! I will miss you, but I know you'll be as adored with Becky as you were with me!

He's a beautiful boy!..................very nice markings

His blushing ROCKS!! He looks great! I can see why you bought him when he was supposed to be a she!

He's a pretty boy - good luck with him Becky!

Aww, 'dere's muh gorgeous boy!

And yes, I have a nice blackback girl who is 1200g who will be ready this coming season(Arith). Maybe she will like to meet him ;)

congrats on the addition Beck! He's lovely!

I know he's ready to go - he's been very naughty lately! He likes to go under the newspaper and flip his water bowl over, then play snake paint (sort of like finger paint) in the newspaper ink! :eek:

Sweet looking bp you have there love the blushing and great pics :sunny:

Becky, put me on the waiting list for Sully babies! :D

Gorgeous boy.

Well, just got done IMing with Becky to confirm the address is correcto-mundo! I'm off to go ship this handsome boy off to her!


By the way - he weighs 986 grams today!
