NEW SNAKE! (My First BP)

[NH93]

Hey all!

I had a fantastic time at the CRBE in Toronto today. It was the first show I've been to, but it was so amazing - and big.
I brought home this little gem!

Male pinstripe, 116 grams, born end of June. He's already had three+ meals of f/t rats as well! He's very calm, despite being in blue.



I can DEFINITELY see why people become attached to this breed of snake. There were so many to choose from, and three in particular I couldn't take my eyes off of... but this was the first one I was interested in and held, and I liked the breeders of this one the best. He was also the only pinstripe I liked. I was attracted to the cinnamons and pewters (ya right).

Such a fantastic day. I hope everyone who went found what they were looking for, and left as happy as I did!

Thanks for looking/reading!

Thanks Bowlshot! I was chatting with one breeder who said he started with one, had 5 within the month, and at 3 years has over 30! Thankfully (or not?) my wallet isn't so forgiving... so I may not have the same issue

Awesome!!! Let the addiction begin!

Cute little Pin. My first snake was a pinstripe, too, and within two weeks I had a nice long list of other morphs and species I want but can't get yet. I shouldn't even have my 50% SD Retic, but I just couldn't pass him up and brought him home without permission. Luckily my parents are very forgiving. Don't worry, you'll be getting more! XP

Nice pickup! Who was the breeder? (It's always nice to give credit where credit is due)

[NH93]

He's from a breeder at Mike's Reptile Racks

A husband and wife team (I think it was Mike who bred him, but unfortnately in all the excitement, I asked every question except for the guy's name! Silly me...) They have been hobbying BPs since 2008, he said.

Nice pick-up.
I am not sure but, I think it might have been you I was talking about BP's with at the expo. Then again it may have been someone similar to you looking to get her 1st snake.
Either way, congrats and thanks for sharing your new pet with us.

Raven01, did you have a booth?

He's my first BP (although I only have one other snake, a corn). I was walking around with my partner, a blondish guy about my height.

But thank you!
