So I finally got myself a BP. Or two...

So someone over at CornSnakes.com posted an ad for some snakes, and I noticed the 1.1 BPs listed. $50 + shipping for two ADULTS? No way I could resist. I got them (and a luecistic texas rat ) yesterday and they're settling well.
Both are proven breeders and '06es. Normals, but.. that's what started the whole thing, eh? xD

Male:


Female:




Bit unrelated, but this is the tex rat.

Ah, so those are the BPs you were talking about... they look great, nice and plump! The rat is super cool, too - crazy eyes, huh? I think you'll really enjoy having BPs, once you get used to their picky eating (compared to corns). I love 'em.

Nice looking normals. Love the Texas Rat!!

Congrats. Nice blushing on the female and that lucy rat does have some crazy eyes...

Daemon (the rat) DOES have some big bug eyes, but he's so goofy looking. I'm glad I got him too.




BPs are pretty enjoyable so far. Female's a little head-shy, but not too badly. Male refuses to sit still for me, though. xD
The guy I got them from has never had them refuse food except for the female when she was gravid. I'm hopeful they'll eat for me.

I'm not 100% sure I know what this 'blushing' on the female is, though.

Blushing is a light coloration along the spine, usually in-between what you corn folks might call their "saddles." Here's a photo of my pastel, where you can clearly see the blushing on his back:

Ahh, I see!

Corn folk lol.

Corn folk lol.

Sorry, that sounded bad... LOL. I'm a "corn folk" myself (got 8 of 'em), and that's what we call the spinal markings!

Nice pick ups!! Congrats on your new additions
