    Re: We adopted! p.s. Im long winded sorry!

    Yeah, I'm sure she deffinately is. Remember, stress comes first to these guys. If they are stressed they will starve themselves to death.

    On the bright side, when it comes to feeding day, you should have no trouble getting a nice meal in her.

    I LOVE HER NAME! I am a huge Gone With The Wind fan, and have a cat named Rhett. I always tell him that someday I'm going to get him a Scarlet.

    Congrats on your new adoption!

    Thanks! It's actually the name she came with. We thought about changing it, but I think it might be weird to do so. lol

    Congrats on the new BP, and thank you for rescuing it. Its always a great story when someone gives a herp a good and proper home after coming from inadequate conditions.

    As far the he/she thing im leaning towards a male. She doesnt look emaciated from the pictures, but he/she is a little skinny for being two years old, even for a male. I would say its a male. Females at two years of age should be much larger, but maybe its a she and they just havent been feeding properly which wouldnt be a surprise considering the other husbandry issues they had. But again thank you for rescuring him/her!

    That was my thought too, she's really small for a two year old female. But if she hasn't eaten in 'awhile', then who knows how often she actually ate for her previous owner? Even stressed BPs will take a small mouse if they're really starving.

    Re: We adopted! p.s. Im long winded sorry!

    I feel like adopting her was one of the best things I've done and it makes my heart smile when I see her all secure and snug in her new house because I know one day soon she will lead a stress free life.

    It's funny because my boyfriend just said to me last night that he bets she's really a he. lol

    I think the pervious owner was only feeding her once to two times a month or at least that's what was said to me last summer. I don't know for sure how frequent Scar it was in the last 6 months though.

    redstormlax: Thankyou!
