Very nice, but she looks like she should be eating something larger than a fuzzy. I feed mine rat pups.

Congrats! You will love BP's!

ya that is what i said, i was gonna feed her a regular mouse, but she just would not have it, she just let the mouse walk all over her. so i laid down some thawed fuzzies in her cage and she ate one.

She is not a pastel, but you have a very nice normal :)

Very nice... love busy patterns on normals and nice alien heads.

thank you,... could she be het? for anything? or there is no way to tell till she has a clutch right?

She "could" be het for something, but unless you know what her parents were there is no way to know what she would be het for, and generally a breeder will sell hets as hets, she is most likely a wild type normal, but a normal female is still pretty awesome! :)

She's a pretty little thing. Congrats! They are addicting :)

so do you guys think a mouse would be large enough for her??

a medium sized mouse would be perfect for her. you mentioned that she didn't take the live mouse but she took the thawed fuzzy, try offering a prekilled mouse

oh and congratulations!! :)

Congrats on your new snake! Very pretty :)

beautiful snake be careful though 1 turns into 10 really quick kinda like pringles once you pop you can't stop

Very nice looking girl....Congrats :gj:

She looks big enough for a large mouse, or a rat pup easily! You can go smaller with a medium mouse for the first few feedings if you wanted though to make sure she eats :)
