i am also getting a pastel male the end of this week . i cant wait for him to be shipped to me . i'll post some pics when i get him .

gorgeous. are you attempting to get some babies from this pastel?

What is she feeding on?

Nice!!! And welcome again! Are you getting an adult Pastel, if so are you gonna make some "eggs" !?!?! I'm new with the BP Morph thing, but if I understand correctlly, you'll get pastels from a pastel+normal.... right!?!?

thanks yall . the three normals are all feeding on f/t large rats . the pastel male i'm getting is an 06 so it will be a year or 2 before he is ready to put with any of the females . as far as breeding this year i have a possible breeder loan for a pastel male to put with one of my females and a yellow belly to put with another . woozle is up in the air right now as he/she was supposed to be a male , but a couple days ago when i was demonstrating to a friend how to pop a ball python he popped female . now i'm going to have to take him into the petshop i work at to probe him/her to be sure .

laooda , when breeding a normal to a pastel each baby has a 50/50 chance of being pastel or normal . so technically you should get half pastels and half normals from a pastel x normal breeding .

Very Nice snakes...I like gretchen the most :sweeet:

Gorgeous snakes! You've got a great start on an awesome collection!

gretchen is very special to me . she is the critter that got me back into this wonderful hobby . i took her in as a rescue almost a year ago even though i had reservations . i had been out of the hobby for about 8 years at that time . when i saw her and heard what had happened to her i couldnt not take her . she had been abandoned at some peoples house by a sopposed friend and these people were terrified of her . she was there for about 3 months with no food and water poored into her bowl thru the top . the cage was filthy , the water bowl was stagnant and the substrate was what apeared to be beach sand(i live about 7 miles from the beach) . she was thin and had layers of old shed all about her body . she also had a recent scar on the top center of her head . how could i not take her from that ? any ways long story short i now am back and here to stay . besides the ball pythons i also have 2 boas one almost 7 foot and one 8 foot . before i got out of reptiles i had been a fairly hard core herper for over 25 years . my ex got me out of it :irkd:


edit ; thanks everyone for the nice comments about my critters :D

Very very nice looking snakes!

thank you :D
