Re: This is my Bredli. There are many like it...
*** Update on the lineage. Upon further inspection, I do believe Alpha comes from this lineage based on his labeling. Which means, yes, Price and Lazik line and het Stonewashed.
Also, I weighed him tonight on an analog kitchen scale. He is roughly 145 grams, 2.5' long, 1.5 years old (8/30/2015 birth).
That's our official starting point!

You're off to a great start Rock. Kudos to you for facing and conquering fear. You picked an exceptional animal with really good genes. Alpha is gonna grow quickly now that he's on a more frequent feeding schedule. I love the name btw! ;)

Thank you very much, Zig. I appreciate all of your help. Happy you have a great one as well that I can watch grow and I'm glad I have an official starting point for Alpha's progress.
Hopefully I keep him feeding properly and this becomes a great year of growth for him. Looking forward to getting him into a permanent display!

He took a rat pup tonight! Very happy.
The rat looked huge when I dropped him in, like a bear :taz:, seriously, so I was a bit nervous about the outcome. No sweat.

That's awesome Rock! I wouldn't ever offer him another mouse. Or at least not until he has a really strong imprint on rats. I wouldn't worry about rat pups with your guy at all. Carpets can take some pretty large meals. :)

I agree! I decided to make an educated guess and go for the rat pup on this second feeding instead of waiting for the next. Glad I did and I won't go back. I replayed the video to make sure. No hesitation, total focus on his part.
Carpets can take large meals. Carpets are awesome!

Thank you, Gio. You and Zig and several others on this forum deserve direct credit for helping me make the right choice. I am very happy indeed. If I only end up with three I am completely satisfied.
Although, there was this baby red Biak GTP at the snake shop last week and Nick's 2017s will be coming out soon... Just saying. :D
