    Not sure if this is the right room to post this, but just wanted to do a quick intro.

    Grew up around snakes, mostly wild ones we would catch as kids in Northern California. Always held onto them as pets for a while then release them back to the wild. Had a California King for many years, my uncle caught him in the river bed in Pico Rivera of all places. Had to get rid of him after many escapes and the family feeling uneasy .

    My 8yo son has owned a few leapord geckos, and finally convinced his mom to let him get a BP, so we are now the parents of Misses Slithersworth...or Slithers for short. Shes about 8 months old, standard BP, eats like a champ and has a great personality.

    Look forward to learning and sharing alot here!

    Nice work getting a good feeder as it makes such a difference.

    Did you ask for a good feeder or was it just pure luck , incidentally?

    I didnt ask for a good feeder specifically, but I dont think it was luck either.

    Once we decided to get a BP, I knew I would never buy one from Petco, PetSmart, etc...so I did some research on local reptile shops/breeders, found a very reputable breeding facility that just happened to be close to me. My son and I went in and they let him handle all the babies they had at the time, most of them just curled up in a ball in his hand, one was actually pretty strikey, but Slithers was immediately interested in what was going on and "slithering" all around my sons hands and arm...that is why we chose her.

    The first feed was a week later, she wouldn't take the f/t as I was told by the shop, so I was a bit concerned. I called the shop, I must have forgot that they suggested that I not only thaw the mouse, but to warm it up in hot water also...once I did that, she eats like a champ every time.
