For those not following my other thread, my kids picked out their first BP this past Sunday at a local show. We met the owners of Bourbon Ball Pythons from Louisville at the last show and they were great with the kids, so we decided to use them. The kids saved their own money from August to now and had to pay for everything themselves. That also gave us a couple months to research and learn what we were getting into. They picked a male Pastel HET Clown 66% HET Pied. I kind of know what all that means (LOL). The one they picked was hatched this past July and weighed in at 214 grams, I was fine with getting one that has been eating for a while and they have been handling so he has a good temperament. They told us he was eating live rat pups and last ate a week ago today. I was able to pick up a live rat pup today and he took it in less then a minute. After striking he held on to it for about 25 minutes which surprised me but we left him alone and he was swallowing it last I peeked in. I plan to switch to FT once he gets settled in to his new environment. He was named after everyone's favorite killer, Dexter....
