Re: New acquisition
It's a normal, not a yellowbelly.
He doesn't seem skinny at all. Pretty average looking girth to me.
Also, what is this??

I figured he was a normal, but you never know.
And his spine is very pronounced when he is stretched out. He weighs in at 553g empty, compared to my 07 Ghost male who is 761g.

That doesn't mean much, some snakes grow faster than others, and he was on a smaller feeding schedule which probably slowed his metabolism down. Most 'normal' families that decide to get a pet snake feed a mouse a week, so it's not that unusual.
Maybe he's skinnier in real life, but to me, he doesn't look to be in bad shape from those pictures. Except for the odd scale edges..

He has the beginning appearance of scale rot. His water dish was also slimy like it had never been washed out. Just refilled every few days.
So now he will get fresh water daily and belly heat versus a heat lamp. And I don't know what kind of bedding he was in, but he is back on paper towels.
And after comparing him to my YB he def has a standard look to him. I just noticed the more pronounced yellow on his back and the clear belly and that was the first thing to my mind.

Re: New acquisition
Got new pictures taken. Also got the snake sexed today by a shop owner, and lo and behold, its actually a female. 553g.
I also got two more normals this afternoon, big deal again, and got them sexed at the same time and both of them are females too!!! One is 906g the other is 831g. So they will be able to breed this next season! The pair off of craigslist with a 20L and a 10g with a bunch of other reptile equipment for $75!
And in addition I also picked up my Het Orange Ghost Female that I put a deposit on! $75!
So my week consisted of picking up 3 Normal Females and a Het Orange Ghost Female all for $200! I'd say thats a good deal!

Re: New acquisition
Not a yellow belly, but a nice looking snake nonetheless. Grats on the new pickup.
