Should I get her?

Should I pick up this girl? She's about 7-8 months old and this picture was taken Oct. 31st. I know what Becky and Joanna think! LOL

I'm just trying to justify the expense this close to the holidays. Anyone care to make any donations? :banana:

well she is a nice looking girl--i like the blushing on her. are you wanting to breed her to kashmire? getting a girl her size would certainly expedite that process somewhat. i don't know how much you are looking to pay for her, but i wouldn't go over about $250 for her, depending on how much exactly she weighs. other than that i guess it's really up to you. :)

No, I don't plan to breed her to Kashmire (unless I decide to do a "trial" clutch). I would like to have her to raise to breed to future hets that I might have.


Nope, she's less than $250. Very reasonably priced! But still hard to justify spending money when I should be buying Christmas presents!

She's on a site that Joanna, Becky and I were looking at tonight, and we've checked out the guy who owns the site on Fauna and he's got great reviews.


She's $100.

$100?! BUY HER NOW!!! :D

(is she cb though?)

No, he says that the snakes he has on his site were selected by Michael Jolliff for him. He got him 100 babies from the first 4000 that came into the USA in April of this year. They never drank African water and have eaten every week since he got them. He paid extra for the for the first 100 out of the first 4000 lot in the USA and said that not a single baby died.

He has a 48 hour health guarantee.

ah well that's cool, mostly i just wanted to make sure she isn't a fresh import. i have several ch girls and they are all just fine, great feeding responses and good temperments. :)

What site are you getting her from?

are you getting her from boca morphs?

Nope, from Will Bird in Kentucky.

Does he have a site?

If you can afford it, go for it :)

for a 100 bucks, that's a good buy. make sure she is eating steady and female. keep in mind that a vet check might come in to play also when dealing with any kind of import.

LOL if it was Boca Morphs I would have made sure Robin read the BOI threads if she hadn't already!

You know what I think Robin. She's a lovely female and I'd be very tempted (and am very tempted) by Will's female balls. As long as you are aware of any extra concerns with young imports and are going with a good breeder/supplier, I think she's a good deal and a lovely little female.

my thoughts exactly! :hmm: homework is veeeery important.

the breeder should be willing to share her feeding habits with you and you can also ask if she has been treated for parasites just in case.

His females range in weight from 150 grams to 250 grams and are feeding every week.


He guarantees the sex, has a 48 hour health guarantee, so a vet visit would be planned for the first day just to make sure she's healthy, but she doesn't appear to be underweight, and that picture was taken just 2 weeks ago.

He has nothing but rave reviews on Fauna BOI, and he's replied to my e-mails quickly and thoughtfully and was very honest about the source of his girls.
