OK I posted before about the pair of spots I got at the NARBC for 60 each marked as 06s that I figured now must have been 05s. I was asked for pics but always think pics deserve their own thread so here are my new kids.

First the female who shed a few days before I bought her, check the sheen on this gal.








The next shot is the male which is bigger of the two. He is also getting close to shed time and hence a lot duller in appearence.



Here is another of the male. I am trying to show here his length a bit better. No one was here to help with pics. I should also note as always I am a big guy my ring size is 13.5 so that might help to give better scale on these little guys.




Ok so does this help, any of you with adults who grew them from babies do these look like 06 animals to you. I would actually feel better if they did because checking pricing a pair of two year olds cost a LOT more then a pair of 06 do. I guess I can't feel to bad on this if they are older though, I just bought them for the stated price.

It is just I have never handled adult spotteds and you can read "up to a meter" but that does not really explain the size of a snake well. For instance a 6 foot boa is a lot bigger then a 8 foot taiwan rat, know what I mean.

How close are these to true adult size? Those of you that breed them how close are they to being breedable? What size/weight do you start breeding yours at.

Not knowing is a new feeling for me! Most of the common animals I have a ton of experience with but spots, childrens, etc are new to me. I figure they are easy to keep and all so no worries but this is kind of like turing on a movie and not knowing how long it has been on or how much time is left,
