    Pastel Pied post shed

    He shed this morning.

    I bought him from Rusty-Balls 2 month ago. He was 300 gram when he sent me to. In the past 2 month, he never missed a meal, on top of that, anything that my other bps won't eat, he will take it. He ate even when he was shedding. So now he weight 460 gram. Is that too much for him? I don't want to power feed him. He was born in August 2010.

    Awesome, just awesome looking snake. Looks like 460 grams of pure potential.

    I wouldn't worry about over feeding. I personally don't think BP's can be over fed, especially while young. BP's are by nature very finicky eaters. If they are not hungry they will not eat. Yours is a growing boy.

    160 grams in two months? That's nothing to worry about! My fire boy has grown about 200 in a little over a month. And he's not power fed, just a hungry, growing boy. Your boy is absolutely gorgeous though!

    That is a GORGEOUS snake! I was so NOT a fan of pieds when I first started looking at getting bps but with time they've started to grow on me, lol! And with an example of the morph such as yours...wow! I think my bank account just got lighter by several hundred dollars, lol!

    The snake looks nice but being high white you can't really see the pattern and the pastel color.
