But I do have some ideas, just found a friend of mine that has a well I'm not gonna spoil it cause it might not happen, but might have a nice male to add to my collection and if it happens. BOY will everything change :D.
When you power feed how often do you feed? Just curious, I feed every 7 days, thats my power feed and they poop every 2 to 3 days. The cleaning is endless with these balls gotta love that trait. Check out the pictures of my pastel she is a knock out!
Good luck with your plans!! :gj: :) :banana:
Well I just found out ive been feeding her the wrong size meal but she's been eating between one and three times per week. They were pinkies so im not horribly suprised, but im upping her to rat pups so im not sure how frequently she'll take a meal yet. Though im going to attempt to remain feeding her every friday and offering her a meal on tuesdays. And a spider pastel would be sweet! I hope that works out for you.
I have to say though my dream as a breeder is to breed my own blue eyed Luec. or a super yellowbelly. I havent really decided which route I want to take.
*EDIT*-I just took a look at that pastel! She's friggin gorgeous! That theres gonna be a hot combo.

Wow that is an unusual feeding and yes I would say the feeding is a tad bit wrong. Rule of thumb is the girth of the snake is what they can eat. Nothing larger than their girth and that is what they eat. 3 times per week thats very time consuming changing to a rat pup definately a better way. My power feeding went from feeding them once every 2 weeks to once a week. Then my female normal that is paired up now was lunging at me wanting more and placing herself on the cooler side. So I would offer her another medium rat at the same time, if she ate it she ate it and she did. Good luck with the change in size of food for your snake, it will make your life allot easier for sure, I've never heard about feeding every 3 days, but then again I don't know everything and never claim to either.
I have to admit I dont want to gloat but I do think my pastel is rather smok'n. I bought her from my buddy Ben Seigel she seems to not have a whole lot of brown and has retained allot of high yellow which is awesome. So I can't wait to see what she produces. Maybe later on this season she will be ready but I don't think so, she is worth the wait tho. :D
