Re: Thoughts on this normal girl?
Shes pretty for a normal but it kind sounds like the guy pawned her off on you. For a pet awesome for breeding it seems like a bad idea in my opinion cause of the cost to feed and house her for her to only help put out more normals which people seem to be giving away these days. But you never know

BPs are like flowers to me. I honestly think they are all beautiful. Some more bright or unique than others but none are dull or boring. I think you have a beautiful girl there. I really like her belly markings.. Sexy.. ha..

I'm sure the guy did pawn her off on me. But she did not cost any extra. I actually did pawn her off on a friend at first, but they were starving her to the point that she was emaciated and weak so I brought her back home because I truly believed she would have starved to death if I had not. I brought her back home at the end of January and I have gotten her up from 91 grams on January 26 to roughly 200 grams as of yesterday afternoon. She has shed twice since I brought her home, and I just noticed that orange increasing with each shed so it made me curious if that could be something that might contribute to my fires or spiders in the future.
At this point, probably just because of her first few months, I guess I'm a little protective of her so if I decide to get rid of her, I would only give her to someone who I was pretty sure would take care of her. She was honestly in pretty sad shape six weeks ago.

Its so stupid that some people get pets (no matter the pet) and they don't take care of them.

She is very pretty, but honestly, I don't see anything in her except a very nice Normal.

She certainly is a lovely normal. One of the wonderful things about normals is the enormous variation in them. I've seen a few with that same warm orange on their sides. I've always found it beautiful. And I don't see any reason why she could not contribute desirable traits to her future offspring. Certainly, people will tell you not to breed normals or single gene animals because of the overabundance of normal baby ball pythons that flood the market every year. But even so, there are always people looking for normals. Many small pet shop owners visit reptile shows looking to buy up the normals for re-sale in their shop. And there are always people looking for a first snake who may not be willing to invest a few hundred dollars right away until they are sure they can properly care for a snake.
Many people with large, expensive collections of multi-gene animals started off with a normal or two. You may not want to breed all normal females to all single gene males and end up with dozens of normal babies. But to breed a few special normal females to specific males to enhance desired traits... what's wrong with that?

Thoughts on this normal girl?
Pretty. 👍
But I don't think you do what he did and ship an animal without telling you. What if you didn't have any space for it? It's a live animal, not a sticker or a sample.. It's sad that people value normals so little because they are so cheap..:/
Glad you took care of it!
