Uh Oh.... im addicted.

SOO i thought id share my excitement... i came home on monday night to find that Maubi had FINALLY shed... all in one peice... so wednesday i go to the pet store and buy a small rat and throw it in the cage hoping for the best... about 3 seconds later he struck! it was horrifying and awesome all at the same time...

so anyways thanks to the wonderful advice from everyone he is doing great!! noowww when he has fully digested i will finally be able to handle him!

now... the point of my title.

the same girl who i bought maubi from needs to get rid of a pastel because she is moving.

she originally had it up for 120... then 90... then she offered it to me for 75.... including cage... heating pad.... etc...

good deal? i mean its a good deal for a normal much less a pastel...

heres a pic... tell me what u think of him...

Honestly... it doesnt look like any pastel ive ever seen... but im new... sooo what do i know:]

I'd say 75 for the pastel and all the accessories is a heck of a deal! Good job! :gj:

I like his blushing, very pretty. How big is he?

Yeah i like it too:]

20 Inches

20 inches? If a pastel is only 20 inches long and THAT browned out... Wow.

Do you have a scale you can weigh him on?

Our pastel is pretty browned out too, but he's beautiful to us. Besides, if NatalieFaye likes him, that's all that really matters. She didn't say anything about breeding, she's just excited to have her first pastel.

Right. It's all about what YOU think about the animal... As long as you like it, then that's awesome. It may be some peoples cup of tea, and it might not be others. I wasn't trying to knock you down, just stating my opinion... Since in the post it said "Tell me what u think of him... "

That is one heck of a deal.. I got my Pastel girl for $130:rolleyes::P But I'm glad to have her and glad to have her for that much.

That snake also seems older, so I doubt it's 20". But if you really like the snake then go for it, who knows you might get into breeding:D

That's a very brown pastel, but it is one nonetheless.
If you like her, go for it! :)

r u kidding?! thats amazing!! i spent $125 for my pastel as a baby alone with nothing xD you sooo gotta get it!

Wyatt was 75 with nothing, so I'd say it's a great deal. And beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, that's the only reason my girlfriend picked me! Good thing she ignored her friends opinions haha

SO! haha after all that i went ahead and picked him up today.. about 30 minutes ago.. ill weigh him and measure and update you guys with more pictures...

Like u all said he may not be "the creme of the crop" but he is unique:] haha

and for 75 + all the stuff im pretty happy:] plus the girl really did need to get rid of him.. so i figure its a win win..

he looks a little differnet from the pic i put up..so i will post some this afternoon

thanks everyone:] i do appreciate ALL the opinions... i wanted honest.. soo:]

Okayy measured and weighed this afternoon. He is 11.5 Ounces and 350 grams.. (dunno what ya'll use)

and he is NOT 20 inches..haa... He is about 32 inches.

Here are some new pics..

Great pick-up :D Very cute pic :D :D :D

He's great looking! Love the blushing and partial sections of black back, great pick-up!

Very nice...and you got a killer deal to boot!!:gj::gj:

Those pics are much better! I was going to say 20 inches and that colour is a normal! It is a beautiful pastel and what a great deal! Male pastels here go for $200 as a baby!

As long as you are excited about it then why the hell not, make the pick-up. The snake looks really nice and what you would be getting in the deal seems like a total steal. Go for it before someone else does!

That's awesome that your snake ate that rat so quick! The only way that rat would have been gone faster is if I was in the cage!

He is a real looker.

But I have a question, is that duct tape in the second picture? I'd be really careful with that stuff, it can be very dangerous to snakes if part of it comes loose and gets stuck to them. I've read a few horror stories here about it.

I certainly would have jumped on that deal if I were you. And just think, it only gets worse from here!

congrats! thats a nice pick up, lots of blushing. i agree, if that's duct tape i would remove asap for the safety of the bp.

Yeah he's great:] explores a bit at night... then back to the hide... im excited to handle him soon!

Yeah its duct tape... came in the aquarium... (which i will probably be changing to a tub soon.. the humidity is frustrating me...) Ill pull it out to be safe like ya'll said! now i gotta go find a makeshift hide... greattt.. haha:]

thanks for pointing that out!

congrats on the pick up. i think he looks awesome.:gj::gj::gj:
