Awesome to hear!

I got a female Bp from a pet store that would never eat for them...Took her home and she hasn't refused a meal sense...

Silly Pet Stores :rolleyes:

Nice looking and all, but I really don't think it's pure IJ.

I agree that, with no background you can never be sure. I don't agree that she's not 100% IJ. I've seen quite a few of them and they can be very variable. What makes you think that she's an integrade?

Either way, you're a lucky man, Pat! I'm a confirmed dark-sider and love IJs. Good luck with her and be sure to post more pics :)

I've seen a few purebred IJs that had different colours, which is not unusual for this species, but the pattern on that one is sort of unusual.

The IJs I've seen had patterns that were similar. This one is different from them.

What store did it come from?

Not too shabby Pat!! :D

Nice looking IJ! While it is not a 100% way to be sure it is without breeder background, I do think it is an IJ. I have seen a few and produced quite a few in my time so I think I know what I am looking at. :rolleyes:

Sweet deal Pat my man - Sweet deal...Don't you just love the "I can't get it to eat" bargain buys...

Great looking IJ! :O

Love seeing more and more carpet keepers around. They really are a wonderful animal to keep. And as far as husbandry is concerned much easier than anything else that I keep!

I'd love to see some more pictures of this beauty!!

Yeah she is soooo gentle. I was almost expecting a super nippy little witch at first, but quite the opposite!

I know the store.

Glad you got a good deal. Hope she keeps her attitude too.
