Sullivan's Last Photo Shoot - DUW

Some of you who were members last year may remember how excited I was last year this time to be getting this gorgeous young female who I named Kiah:

And then, after a sleepless night in early February, the day came when "she" arrived!

And then....much to the credit of the seller, he e-mails me two days later asking me to please get "her" probed, because he was putting away "her" feed card, and the card indicated she was actually a he. He was sick that he had not popped "her" before shipping "her" off to me.

Everything happens for a reason - had this not happened, I may not have found Justin Kobylka, who is a breeder in my state, who agreed to meet me at his facility and sex Kiah for me - alas, Kiah was indeed a beautiful boy. I was heart broken, but re-named him Sullivan. I soon discovered, that Sullivan was trying to tell me that he was a boy all along! His marking spells "Him"

So, Sullivan was replaced by Pandora - and the seller insisted that I keep dear, sweet Sully.

Our own Becky (SatanicIntention) has always admired Sullivan, and when I finally made the decision that I just couldn't house a normal male that I had no intentions of breeding (besides Kashmire - he was my first, will always have a home with me), I contacted Becky to see if she was still interested in him. She didn't hesitate to say yes, and so tomorrow he is TX bound! Becky does intend to breed him - I can't wait to see his babies, and maybe I can talk her into one of his daughters one day!

For Becky - here are the pictures I promised you, taken today. I'm still getting used to this camera, so please excuse the amatuer photography.

Goodbye Sully, my sweet boy! You be good for your new momma! I will miss you, but I know you'll be as adored with Becky as you were with me!

He's a beautiful boy!..................very nice markings

His blushing ROCKS!! He looks great! I can see why you bought him when he was supposed to be a she!

He's a pretty boy - good luck with him Becky!

Aww, 'dere's muh gorgeous boy!

And yes, I have a nice blackback girl who is 1200g who will be ready this coming season(Arith). Maybe she will like to meet him ;)

congrats on the addition Beck! He's lovely!

I know he's ready to go - he's been very naughty lately! He likes to go under the newspaper and flip his water bowl over, then play snake paint (sort of like finger paint) in the newspaper ink! :eek:

Sweet looking bp you have there love the blushing and great pics :sunny:

Becky, put me on the waiting list for Sully babies! :D

Gorgeous boy.

Well, just got done IMing with Becky to confirm the address is correcto-mundo! I'm off to go ship this handsome boy off to her!


By the way - he weighs 986 grams today!

Sully is Texas bound by now I guess. He's a great snake Becky and I'm sure you'll love him to pieces. I remember the night online that Robin was choosing him (or her back then) and how pleased she was with this lovely snake. I know he's going to a wonderful home Robin but I also know how hard it was on you to decide to let him go. Big hugs to two of my favorite friends and one very lucky and very loved snake!

Yes, he's TX bound now! <sniffle>

Knowing that he's going to a great home with Becky made it easier to say goodbye. He's a lovely snake and deserved to be with someone who could "dink" with him. I can't wait to see his future babies, and hope to bring home one of his daughters one day! OK, now the hard part - off to take him out of my siggy :(

*BIG HUGS!*

Thank you fellow Snake-Momma! :-D :hug:
