Well I reach in the tank and the first one I grab is totally blue but very calm and laid back, I pull him out and low and behold I am looking at typical het pied stripes running from his vent up his body approx.3-4 inches dead even on each side with a clear white belly.he is approx. 3 to 3 1/2 feet in length. I will eventually post pictures on my iHerp page (mfkelly). I got him for 40$. So if he is a normal no harm no foul and I have rescued him from a stressful situation. All this stores adults are generally turn ins from people who don't want them any more. I just wanted to double check what the markers where. Truth is I was planning on just buying a pied in the next year, but I am a big believer in fate and when I just decided to look and he was the first one I grabbed and no one else looked like him I said what the heck.
You never know what you will find at a pet store sometimes. If I am not mistaken someone on here came across a Spotnose Ball at a pet store being sold as a normal. Just an FYI, male Het Pieds typically only sell for around $50-$100 it's the females that cost $500 for juveniles.
