Sniff, sniff....They Grow Up So Fast!

It seems like just yesterday I brought this little girl home from my first reptile show. I had seen her on Michael Cole's site, and was planning to have her shipped. As luck would have it, he attended an Atlanta show in April 2006, and she was on his table (I had memorized her number). She was a late '05. Here she is back then:

Then she grew up into a nice young lady:

And had her first date:

Can't wait to see the beautiful babies they throw!

great story and i loved to see the evolution. good luck with her:gj:

Robin, I bet they will throw some sweet looking babies!!! That female is super clean looking.

She did that on her first date?

Beautiful snake (the little hussy ;))

It's crazy, one moment your feeding them hoppers, then next they need the car to go pick up their kids....:P

I don't remember my first date being that eventful, some guys have all the luck I guess. :)

You remembered her name! :hug:

Thanks Christie - I really hope I can get one really nice reduced pattern pastel female from her!

Winston is such a hottie too...congrats! :D

She's beautiful - I just brought home my first ball pythons this past sunday. A baby girl (She's soooo cute) and a slightly larger male. I can't wait to see them grow.

Congrats on the babies to come... :snake:

Sorry - behind in replies! Still on cloud nine over seeing an ovulation - I missed Echo's because I was gone for a week, and I'm pretty sure she'll be laying next week.

Thanks so much! I was just reflecting on when I first spotted her on Michael's site and how she was at the first show I went to. She's really grown into a beautiful snake!

It's very rewarding to raise them up from babies into thriving healthy adults! You're going to love it!:)

Lovely post!

I wish more people posted "progression" pics of their BPs! It is a pretty common thing on the cornsnake forum. Of course, corns go through a more drastic change, but BPs still change and grow a lot and it is so cool to see!

I hope she married the sweet young man in the rack next door...XDD good luck and congratulations!!!

Congrats Robin! That's exciting!! Those are going to be some SMOKING Pastels!!!

I've said it a bunch, but it bears repeating...

Robin, you have one of the nicest collections of reduced-patterned normals around, and it's going to go a long way towards the selective breeding you're trying to accomplish.

These Sierra X Winston babies should be HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!! My fingers are VERY crossed for you girl!

:D

Ha! I love looking back at baby pictures and seeing how they've grown - and I love looking at babies I have now and not being able to wait to see how nicely they mature! Thanks for your post!

Kara - you have been so awesome - mentoring me and answering all my endless questions. The little things that you do and say just re-kindles the excitement I had the day my first BP, Kashmire arrived and I knew I was hooked!

Thanks for being such an awesome friend - lecturing me when I needed it, and encouraging me when I've been discouraged! Can't wait to see you soon! :hug:
