    Amazing!

    Tonight the craziest thing happened! I picked up a female albino BP on sunday so I've had her for all of 3 days. The breeder said that she has only eaten live but I got her to eat a f/t. I felt like all of the odds were against me and the only thing I had going for me was the fact that the last time she was weighed, she was 85 grams so I figured she's probably growing and hungry (and that the last time she ate was last tuesday). I thawed out a little fuzzy that I had, ran it under warm water to get the "freezer smell" off of it, and then dangled it. She wasn't even interested at all, so I just left it on a piece of newspaper. I came back a few hours later and it was gone!

    All of the odds were against me because I feel like I've handled her a lot recently, she's in an actual tank now whereas she was in a tupperware box before, and she's just in a new place.

    I just felt like I needed to share. Here's a picture of her from a few days ago:
    1.0 Vanilla (Akeda)
    1.0 Bumblebee (Silas)
    0.1 Albino (Cleo)
    0.1 Lesser Yellowbelly (Cambria)
    0.1 Lesser (Athena)

    She is! She's so docile and nice. She coils up in my hands and wraps herself around my fingers. I paid $200 for her, and another $70 for a 55 gallon tank, lamp, hides, plastic bin, and a heating pack with a snake bag to transport her during the 2-hour drive.

    Oh wow what a great deal!! That's nice that she's a sweetheart too I have a girl that is as sweet as can be too. She's a big ole chunkster though lol she's never missed a meal. Hopefully your albino will be a really good eater too

    I hope so too. I plan on breeding her once she's up to weight. If you're interested in a male albino, check out Deb's Exotics on facebook. She has the male for sale as well (You can check out NH craigslist as well)

    Congrats on the success Reed. And I know you've probably gotten this constantly but that is a gorgeous snake; I love albino's and her color variance is stunning. She is going to be so pretty as she grows. Is that the one you had in the lower tank that I was interested in seeing?

    Yes it is! I feel so blessed to have such a pretty girl. Next on the list is a pied. The breeder I got Cleo from had a female Pied for $500 and she said that I would be able to put her on lay-away if I wanted. She was so pretty and it was my first time seeing a pied in real life. It was like I was looking at the holy grail.

    Haha I know what you mean. Getting a Pied is my dream snake. Whether I get it from a het breed or just break down and buy one. However I recently learned about the existence of the Bels morph and it definitely got added to the list. However I think a pastel pied or a ghost pied is still my number one eventual desire.

    my number 1 desire is something that is loosely referred to as a "pumpkin pied" where the one of the splotches of color looks like a jack-o-lantern. My birthday is on Halloween so that would be my ULTIMATE snake.

    My albino was a food hog too. She ate right after I picked her up from the breeder. She ate a f/t with no problems even though she was fed live only. Few 100 grams per month for 10 month s!
