    Change of Plans

    As some of you know (probably just a few, haha) I posted here a little while ago about getting my first, and likely only, BP in the next little while.

    I was to be picking up a 90% high white male Pied.

    Events have changed somewhat. My breeder contacted me and informed me that she decided to release the other Pied, which she had been holding back. It had been the one I'd originally gotten excited about, but finding out she'd decided to hold it meant I had to avoid getting attached. Instead, I got attached to the little 90% white, who is equally cute.

    Given the first dibs on this hold back, however... I gave it some serious thought and decided to take the released one.

    I was already attached to the 90% guy, but I knew that was just because I'd already told myself: "No, you can't get attached to the other one! It's not yours." Haha.

    Both are adorable, but for what I'd always wanted in a Pied, the hold back was everything I'd imagined. Wish I could take both, in all honesty. Pieds are just the neatest things. Always something different.

    And, I know how much you guys love photos, so I'd be crazy not to share them with you.

    I'll likely be picking this little guy up in the next few weeks. He's already taking F/T and doing so good. I'm very excited. And my other half is trying to be as support as he can with this (even though he didn't want anymore reptiles in the house). He thinks this little guy is "actually pretty cute". I asked him if he'd feel more comfortable if he got to name it. So we're toying with Skyrim names now, haha.

    The one on the Right (90%) was the one I was originally picking up. I am now picking up the Pied on the Left (70%) if all goes according to plan

    I like The Medium White Pied Better anyways! Great example of the pied gene. Congrats

    I like low to medium pieds so I think youre getting a nicer snake. I think when there's more pattern it makes you appreciate the white a bit more and I really think the pattern on these guys is really cool! Nice lookin pied.

    I agree, the medium pied guy you're getting is much prettier in my opinion than the high white. Congrats, Danielle, I can't wait to see more photos of the little one once you have him home!

    The Medium is definitely a stunning animal. I'm so very excited. I love all Pieds and, admit, I got attached to the 90%, but that's only because I couldn't let myself get my hopes up about this little fellow.

    Very eager to get it home, let it settle and finally have my dream critter. Been over 13 years in the making for getting a Pied. I feel like a kid on Christmas. Now, just waiting...

    I like the medium pieds too, but all these high white pieds being passed up, I'll take them
