Ok so this is my first BP. I was told 1. It is a FEMALE and 2. It is a normal... I talked a guy at a local pet shop about the size mouse rat or what to feed it. He asked when it last ate and was it live or f/t. I was told by the previous owner he feeds ONLY live.. I got a frozen to try and see if it will eat it (it ate it wheeeeew) I asked about breeding it and he asked How do you know it is female? Like I said the former owner told me it was. He said bring her in and we can probe it to see for sure. So I came home got one of my wifes small storage totes (WARNING WARNING WARNING: THIS IS A BAD IDEA IF YOU DO NOT ASK FIRST) I got my snake in the tote and went back to the store. 2 of the clercks looked and told me 2 things 1 This is a MALE but the guy who knows better wont be in until 3 I may go back but if 2 of the ones who do this say it is Male I guess I will go with that. and 2 It is not a normal but has pastel traits and that I got an awesome deal (I traded a older tablet for the snake and bedding a light a enclosure and lid) Any advice from any of you who have been into this a while? Thank you in advance for any helpful information that you can offer.
