Looking for a breeder female normal any ideas were to find one?

If you get a breeder female that laid recently (i.e. hasn't put all her weight back on), she will likely eat whatever you offer her. I have 3 breeder normals that never ate F/T before they came to my house, and all are eating well. Two of them wouldn't even look at F/T until after they laid eggs, and now they don't care at all. The third came to me a couple of weeks ago (laid 7/29), and hasn't refused F/T yet.

Well like others have said it wouldn't hurt to give Brian a call. You can find them at shows too, but this time of the year there arnt as many. You will see a bunch for sale around June,July and august but as soon as fall hits they are pretty hard to come by. By this time everyone has sold what they had and more people are looking. My advice is next year as soon as you see all the babies for sale,look for females. That's when you'll see the most. You will have to put some weight back on them but that's when you'll see them at all the shows and classifieds. Not at all saying anything bad about you so please don't take this wrong, but you always see the people that wait until fall to look for females but the thing is by this time of the year there gone. Good luck on finding you one. I do know that the past few days BHB has had some big girls up on their Facebook auctions so I'm sure he will have one if you call him!

I live in Oregon and see them periodically on CL, especially in Portland. In fact, there was one posted there just yesterday. Good luck on your search.

Do you have any reptile shops near you? If so, just tell them to call you if they get any big females in. I did that and not only did I get two big normal females, but they were proven breeders from a customer that was thinning out his normals. Paid $200 total for BOTH of them. They are eating machines and have bred for me both of the past two years.

Thanks for the help guys but I found a snake
