After lots of thinking and weighing the options, I decided to go ahead and get a large breeding female... I originally wanted another Pastel or Spider to breed with Toby, but it just wasn't feasible for the upcoming season. I'm actually on vacation in San Diego right now, and knew they had a few reputable breeders around - so I went to one of them, and put a deposit on an adult 0.1 normal I'll pick up on Tuesday (before heading home). I think they said she weighs ~700g now, and is a very good eater, so she should be ready to breed next season.

She's a little shy from living in a store/breeder, but I think she will be very sweet after some handling. Here are a couple of pictures from the store (crappy cell phone camera), and a few other animals I saw while there. FYI - she was literally shedding at this moment, so her color is a little faded. But of all the large females they had, we agreed she'd be the prettiest match with my Toby. I'll post better pics when I have her home!

Seriously shedding...


Her "cagemate" who seemed nicer, but wasn't quite as pretty (mine is behind her)


Some of the new babies - awwwww




Tree Python... I love these snakes, especially the yellow variety


And finally, a giant tortoise and his little(r) friend
