Pinstripe

[dprballs]

I have a pinstripe and love him. I don't know what the going rate is in the UK for anything, I know yall tend to be a little higher than us across the pond. What other snakes are you interested in? If he is the only breeder then you know that for sure you can plug him into a normal and make some pins this season and get your money back instead of having to wait for a hatchling to grow up. Maybe take a quick look around at other ads and if he seems like to one for you then get them.

this is copied from a previous post of mine which will explain:

ey guys my plan was to start buying some snakes over the coming year in anticipation to begin breeding next year, however i now have 3 female normals (was originally buying 2 but seller was let down by another buyer so i had the 3 ) 1 is proven, at 2kg, 2 are unproven. I got these off a reptile vet whos moving abroad so as you can imagine these girls have been well brought up (at least i hope lol). So i thought id get a male sharpish and try and go this year. And then i decided on spending the money i have instead of on one double/multi gene male, on two males 2 improve my chances of getting some eggs as that is my sole aim this year(just hatch a clutch, ANY clutch). I dont have any snake keeping friends in the real world so to speak so no one to turn to when i run into inevitable problems! So really want experience hands on! Ive never even seen a snake egg lol
Ive bought 1 male cinnamon who was pretty cheap, hes 1.1kg and the owner hadnt had him long and as far as he knows he hasnt bred before(or tried). So i was hoping to get another proven male, as im thinking this would be better.


Now the cinnys a great looking snake, who seems healthy, But he was being kept as a pet by someone who knew less than he should. he only had 1 hide, in rub with heat mat, in his living room which wasnt heated to anywhere near 80f in the middle of the day. Plus it was a council house(i dunno how to explain this to u guys, but u know like government provided social housing which are old/poorly built insulated etc. ??) so he was prob getting a lttle cold at night to say the least, plus his hot end was only 80f so, yeah, he may not be in the best condition (although i dont think theres anything at all wrong with him) and im assured he feeds every 10 days (dont they all). The guy hadnt had him long and wanted rid cos he does have a bit of an attitude, hissy etc. so he could well be genuine and as the snake looks good im hoping the owner before him was doing a better job!!

As i got the cinny cheap i can now afford the pinstripe. The guy seems really genuine, making sure im clued up before he will sell to me etc. and i will obviously get to see how hes keeping his snakes. I really want something thats been properly cared for so is in tip top condition for breeding this year.This guy is successfully breeding(he has feedback for sales on the UK forum, all positive and is advertising loadsa hatchlings). so yeah i think this is the one as its a gene i like the potential of also!!
