Help me with my collection (not selling)

Male banana alone at that size would be $500 so yes considering everything you got a great deal so long of course the animals are problem free.

Yea shes a 100% het pied knocked up by the pied male. She shows signs of being gravid. Doesnt move. Ever. Lumps on her belly. So i gotta start looking at incubators BUT the dude didnt take care of them so i wouldnt be surprised from the initial stress that she drops some slugs. Hopefully not.

If she's already gravid, I would separate the two of them to keep both of them from being stressed or injured. He's not protecting her, he's competing with her for the warmest spot in the enclosure (the snake on the bottom is winning). They're solitary animals. The only time they ever come together in the wild is to breed.

Other than that, I think this bunch was a steal! Congratulations!

Welcome to the forum and congrats!!!! I wouldn't mind one of those babies making its way over to me either 😅

ive separated them and she took a small rat without hesitation. however i cannot get the other 4 to feed. previous owner fed only live and my gf went to go get live rats but had them kill them for her and 4 of them did not want it dead. previous owner stated he only fed alive. gonna wait a day AND later at night

and my numbers got reversed the banana is 650g not 900. got confused. weighed him at the vet today.

I paid $550 for 3 snakes; Male Bumblebee (with some other potential gene in there), Female Lesser Yellowbelly, and Female Lesser. Along with that came a vision cage and a 15g glass tank with a top and some other little things. I got a custom rack to hold 6 snakes with heat cable, a VE-100 thermostat, tubs, and 2 drawers for $380. So you got a smokin deal. If one of those pied babies wants to make it's way to me, just let me know. Where do you live btw?

I'd say you got a great deal. Just get that ri treated and focus on getting their husbandry 100% and get them feeding. Switching from live to f/t can be difficult if they've been on live all their lives but isn't impossible. If I were in your position I'd feed live and make sure they all eat consistently before attempting the switch. That "screaming around for joy while my girlfriend feeds them" comment was pretty funny but the most important thing is to get them all eating. You might have to touch a live rat or two lol wish you the best with them.

Sounds like she is not gravid, maybe building...

I'm not sure. Ive watched quite a few videos. What i gathered was signs of gravid. Lumps in belly, doesnt move, she is capable if moving but prefers to just chill and her head is out. So i dont think its from stress. The end of her tail the last 1/3 of her body is very big. From what I saw in videos they said that was another sign. Maybe i misunderstood? Not sure. I'll try to get a pic of her stretched out hanging her to get better visual of lumps

She's not Gravid until she ovulates...They rarely eat after ovy...maybe she is willing to eat after ovy if she has not been fed properly.

not sure. I am gonna take more pics tonight after work if I can get her to relax and get a pic of her stretched out. below is a pic last night when she ate. the guy told me she ate last week but I honestly cant take anything he says for fact as he was lazy enough not to give them water for well over a day from the pics he sent me and the way I picked them up the bowls were bone dry and that was a 24hour difference in time so who knows. all I know is she took the freshly killed rather quickly. this is my first possibly pregnant snake so im going off of pictures. I am taking her to vet on my next day off just to get her checked out as well as the other 3. Could the lumps im seeing be compaction? I dont know the time of her last bowel movement
