Its my Valentines Day present from my hubby. :) We bought her from Christian at Predators Reptile Center in Mesa. (which if you have never been in or met Christian...he is just amazing) We walked in to talk to Christian and see why type of Ball Pythons he had. He always has a great selection of different things. Well....we were waiting for him to finish up with a customer and that is when I saw her. She was soooooooooo cute I fell in love instantly. The best part....she is a total sweetheart!! We brought her home and gave her a bath and trimmed those razors she has for nails. She did not even flinch. Today she fell asleep on me for a bit while I was petting her. Just a little lap dog...lol. Ok maybe the pitbull of lap dogs. :rolleyes: She has already eaten a couple of mice and some eggs and has claimed our formal living room as her playground!! We have her in a very large tank right now but are currently working on her perm. home. :D:D:D

i know christian quite well i helped out at the shop couple years ago!!!! great guy very knowedgable!! my buddy also is a supplier of bps to him.. great lookin monitor!

also what did you end up paying for het if you dont mind me askin? an did christian ever get the website back up i havent been able to find it since he moved shops

Christian traded some balls for her so he stated he had $550 in her. He was asking $700 but he gave her to us for $600- She is already a proven breeder and he wants to get a male. So we may do something later on with them. Their incubation time is crazy though!!!! Yea I don't know whats up with his website...it was up a while ago.

We need more pics :p
She looks so cute

thats pretty cool... christian is always willin to work a deal with good ppl

yea he's a great guy! This is my second buy from him. Super nice guy!! Great person to do business with!

Very nice Monitor! I knew they had greens and blues but thats the first yellow I've seen. Congrats on the new pick up!

Oooo..common mistake. That is not a yellow tree monitor, but a Quince Monitor. It's nice and gentle at the moment, but once it's in the cage with the correct temps and humidity it'll be a monster. Also..if you correctly do the enclosure, which is lot's of foliage and branches..you'll start suffering from empty cage syndrome. I hope you did your research because this animal will get big and will eat lots and lots of insects. Not being rude, just giving some friendly advice :)
