Got my pied! Finally!!!

So I took a trip to the west coast of the state today to enjoy some repticon ..and I finally found a BEAUTIFUL pied female for a great price! I also got a 2000g proven het pied female as well. The two came to 750, and of course I got the dude down to 600-but I like to try my luck so I asked if he could sweeten the deal any more and he threw in a male pastel het pied hatchling. So all three for 600 bucks and I couldn't be happier ! First project will be pastel pied and next year I'm hoping for somthing much more fun just don't know what yet! Check em out and lemme know what u think! (I don't think much of the pastel, but we will see with time what happens..he was free) ill get better pics when they settle in.

The pied looks gorgeous! Sounds like you got a good deal there :) I have a soft spot for pastels, so I think they all look good, yours looks better than some that I have seen that is for sure!

Thank you, George. The pied is pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. And I've been looking for a loooong time. The pastel isn't the best quality, but he was free. After some consideration, I my sell him.

Glad you found what you wanted :). A free snake is a free snake, you should be able to shift him for a bit of money, making the pied even cheaper! Nice :D

That's an awesome deal. My repticon is coming up in August I will pay for your flight here in exchange for your bargaining ability.

What lovely snakes you've got there! A piebald is my dream animal, I'm so glad you've found one, and for such a steal! I can't wait to hear more about them! :D Congrats!

I hate you. But I hate you for the right reasons. :)

Killer deal. That guy must have been desperate for money.

Thank you all for the kind words! even Mason lol

What a Deal !

Thank you for the pictures. You are quite lucky.

OMG! You practically stole that lovely pied female!!! I would give anything to be in your shoes right now. Pieds are my "pie in the sky" dream snake. I have a male 100% het pied that I picked up at a show for only $35...now I need a female and of course the odds for pied babies goes up significantly if I pair him with a pied girl as opposed to het pied. But there's time...he's still little and plans to breed are a couple of years away while I slowly assemble everything needed.

Is he pos het pied, because 35$ for 100% het is really cheap!

Honestly, I think it would be more awesome to hatch out a pied from two parents that are visually normal snakes...and that was always my plan. I didn't go to the show thinking if find a pied. I went for a het pied. And I found one for a good price but it just so happened this girl was also at a great price and exactly what I wanted to see! And in case anyone is wondering, so far she seems very healthy with no issues that I can tell. Of course she's still in qt for a couple months.. So fingers crossed. And she's a great eater too!
I am going to sell the male pastel het pied. He isn't up to par for me...if anyone's interested, holler!

I know, right? No, I was told he was 100% het pied. It was Sunday at the show and there were deals to be had. I also picked up a spider female for only $40, not from the same vendor. Charlotte came with a burn spot that's well healed and she most definitely has the wobble big time. She'd previously been in the care of a teenage boy who tired of her and his dad decided to sell. It felt good to bring her home and settle her in a safe healthy space. She's an amazing eater.

Wow, I think I got a little sidetracked. LOL!

I can definitely understand the excitement in that method and it's probably the route I'll be taking due to economics. While I was at the show, I met a breeder with a gorgeous adult female pied that was not for sale. Besides breeding, she is part of his presentations he gives on snakes at elementary schools. I can see why too...she is so docile and easy to handle. She's perfect...so yeah, I want a big girl like her pretty bad!

Congratulations on your very lucky find, glad to hear she's eating well. You've got to love a python with a good appetite.

That's a dream deal as everyone has said. But I'd keep the pastel. As far as 1 gene I love them and spiders. Do you have their permanant homes set up yet? I just paid 50 bucks for a large dresser that's properly set up to house 2 snakes that I'm pretty proud of lol between that and 60 bucks for an "aggressive" 4 month old male pastel I think I did alright too. P.s. He's not aggressive imo
