New pickups!!! Tucson Show
I told myself "only get something on Saturday if you find something that blows you away." Whelp, I found some... I couldn't pass these two females up. Hopefully tomorrow there are more deals to be had.
2010 high contrast female Albino ($300)
Here she is next to my hand for a size reference, I'd say between 300-500 grams. I didn't weigh her yet, no need to stress her out anymore than she already was.

Bad lighting, I'll take some better shots after she gets a meal in her and settles in.

Next up is a 2011 female black pewter. I was looking for a nice dark cinnamon (nobody had any) but I couldn't pass her up. She was exactly what I was looking for in a black pewter. Nice black back with an amazing side pattern. I love her symmetrical pattern down her back ending perfectly in a tail stripe. I got her for $150.

The darker the better IMO.

I wish I captured her amazing back better than this...

Again more pictures after a meal and a settling in period. I have done business with the breeder multiple times now she he gave me great deals without even haggling. I ALWAYS haggle, no need this time.
Thanks Terry from Rainforest Reptiles!

You do mean black pastel right?? Man they are both nice either way. An albino for $300 is a good price.

At 150, I would assume its a black pastel not a pewter. A very good price for a very nice snake.
Yup, I look stupid now...:rolleyes: The excitement must have got to me!

I need a female albino to prove out a male het LOL
The black pastels are starting to grow on me, your pics are making me think I think I need one:D
The black pastels took awhile to grow on me too. After seeing so many cool combos I had to have one.

Thanks, I'm really happy with both of them. Terry had two yearling female albinos to choose from. I probably should have just bought both of them. The one I got retained it's color better and has a little more size to her. I really like the black pastel. I went to quickly check on them today and she was shedding!
There wasn't much left at the show today for female single gene animals. The only snake I was semi-interested in was a mojave 100% het ghost. Her colors weren't exactly what I was looking for so I passed, and the price wasn't anything to brag about. It looks like I will still be waiting for that one special lesser female I have yet to find...
The power went out about an hour after I arrived at the show and didn't come back on for around 2 hours. Everyone was walking around in the dark for a long time. After I had seen everything I needed to I picked up some more feeders and started to head out. Of course only a few steps from the door the lights turned back on. :rolleyes:

Me too, I have been wanting to get another for many years. I'm glad the wait has finally ended. Now I just need to find that perfect lesser female.
Re: New pickups!!! Tucson Show

The better choice as is cinnamon or black pastel, or? I was really only considering cinnamon but when I saw her I had to have her. I'd still like to get my ideal cinny but she is everything I wanted in a black pastel!
Thank you everyone for all your nice comments!
