Hmm. I started last summer then had to sell off everyone but two, my big normal who I have owned for 7 going on 8 years, and a little albino boy.

This summer I am starting over once again.
Some time during this week I will be buying back two snakes for 175, a female spider and a female pastel het hypo. The man can no longer care for them so I am taking them back. They are between 500 to 700 grams roughly. I sold them in October at around 350-400 grams.

I do agree with everyone saying start with females first and buy something you like. You could possibly get stuck with the hatchlings so pick something that you can stand looking at.

I want a pied female badly. I would go with a good butter/lesser, pewter, bumblebee, hypo mojave or hypo black pastel (something dark so the ghost gene pops), maybe a super or a pinstripe.

Good luck.
