New pickups - Dial up hell
Here are 3 new unsexed '03 normals I picked up tonight. I am probing them later when I have a helper to hold them still. They are so light, the lightest normals I have seen...Enjoy! Sorry for the pic size. Didnt much feel like resizing tonight..
The smallest one. About 400 grams. Most likely male

The biggest one at about 900 grams. Awesome looking, supposedly het pied (doesnt sound likely if they didnt know the sex). Second pic of this one is a pic of its cool head

The third one. About 700 grams. Apparently all were underfed. Also most likely a male. Amazing coloration though...

Good gracious those were big! Eep! But very nice, congrats and I hope you have at least one female out of the bunch! *crosses fingers*
Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
So sorry for the size! haha I am lazy
Yeah, the pictures dont do them justice. I would love to see pics of any other light normals that people might have.
Hopefully I get a female otherwise I have 3 males that I dont particularly need, but would keep just for the color and their potential to make nice colored babies. I already have 2 males plus the pastel male and the het hypo male coming along soon. Meanwhile I only have 1 breeding size female with another to be ready for next year.

here's a pic of one of mine, she might go this winter.

Nice! Well keep the fingers crossed..Probing T minus 1 hour and counting..
Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
They have nice patterns; the one does look skinny, but I am sure he won't stay that way :)
I like your floor too! Might sound stupid, but we just put one in and it was on my mind hehe!
Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
So it ended up 2.1 with the female being the third picture. Not bad. I paid $175 for all 3 and ended up with a female that will be ready to go next year and 2 males with awesome coloration including one that is ready to go this year and is supposedly het for piebald. I am happy!
Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
Congrats! Beautiful snakes and one het for piebald... WOW! That's incredible! I'd say you lucked out. :)
Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
Not a bad deal for $175.00 Jamie! That female is a pure sweetie-pie! I like them all though (just so your new boys don't get all jealous LOL).

Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
Thanks all! I am psyched to have picked up another female and couple good looking males. We will see what happens. It will be a light breeding season this year but next should rock!

We'll see how it goes! The 800 gram female should start growing quickly on rats. Maybe she will be ready for a late late breeding this year. What do you think? I certainly wouldnt push her unless her weight was right.

I'd wait for next year. Push her and she could slug out on you. You'll get a nice BIG clutch from her next year for sure!

Re: New pickups - Dial up hell
hey adam, i'll take 100 bucks plus a trade! lol
jamie, i'm no expert but i'm holding my 800-1000 gram girls for next year. even if they gain around 100 grams a month that puts them on the minimum side. i feel better knowing that they are surely ready.

I agree with both you guys. She can wait. She is a beauty too so I am psyched for next year. So a light breeding season it will be. Thats cool though....
I'll give you $100 plus a package of strawberry frosted pop tarts.

We had an AWESOME time!! ... Taught my 4 year old how to body surf in the ocean, play air hockey, cannon ball into the pool, and play "rock, paper, scissors" all in 1 weekend!! ... There is nothing better!
Now I get to play catch up at the shop. Being "behind" in my chores there stinks! ... Makes the week a lot longer than it needs to be.
Hopefully I'm going to get a little help this week that might make things better ... keep your fingers crossed for me! :D
Wife away??? .... Damn, now THAT'S a VACATION!! ... lucky dog!! :twisted:
