New pick up, think it was worth it?

[cory9oh4]

So I picked up 2 snakes from 2 different people today on craigslist. I paid 400$ total. Male lesser and female mojave. Hoping for a BEL soon!

Think the price was right?


Female Mojave - unknown weight at the moment



Male Lesser - ~1000g

yes, they're both very nice, IMO. I love what the female has going on inside her alien heads, very cool.
be sure you keep them quarantined from each other and any other snakes you may have,
just in case. they should eventually make you some really nice BELs, good luck.

They are both in different tub areas for now. Probably going to leave them like that for two - three weeks to make sure they remain in good shape. I can't wait to get the female weighed up to see how long it will be till I can introduce them and hopefully get some BEL's. Thanks for the love!

quarantine should be months not just a few weeks....

How many of these months do you speak of? They wont be in direct contact until she is big enough. So the same room different sides is still too close?

I like the Mojave female ! the lesser I feel like im not seeing the true colors in it? might just be me, but none the less still looks awesome and good deal at 1000grams.

I qt for 8 weeks in an entirely seperate room. Some folks do it for a lot longer I have heard up to 6 months.

I've been eye'ing that mojave for a while I didn't think she was anywhere near breeding size though, I thought she was closer to hatchling-200g size. She's a beauty, great additions
