did I get a pastel?

It's one live adult mouse a week. It is slightly larger than the diameter of the greatest girth of the snake. I'm not sure of the weight. I don't have a scale that small to measure in grams. I'll have to find out where to get one. Thank you for the replies everyone.

Nice and bright pastel!!

On the next feeding get it a live rat pup or small rat weanling (sometimes live rat pups are hard to come by) .. The baby sized rat will not move very much but should be enough to trigger a good feeding response, and it still small enough that the chance of it being able to harm your ball is very slim .... Also this will familiarize your ball with the scent of a rat .... After your snake has taken three or four live pups or weanlings successfully then on the next feeding try and give a frozen thawed pup or weanling ... If you thaw and warm the prey item properly you should have no problem converting from not only live to f/t but also mice to rats .... There are always exceptions however ... Some just insist on a mouse ... Good luck

Thank you T-sauer. I will have to find a local place that has the pups or weanlings.

Like I said I'm new to whole "morph" thing so a lot of people will probably say I played to much for her at $49, but that price doesn't bother me since I got a healthy BP. I'll just have to get more familiar with pricing with experience.

I don't think $49 is too much, that's actually a good price. I got my pastel directly from the breeder at a reptile show and he was $75. Females are more expensive than males as well, so a female would've been about $100? You usually see pastels online for about $100, and then you have to pay shipping which can be $30-$50. So total you're spending $130+ on a pastel. So yeah, you got that girl at an awesome price. Let's just hope she holds her color

It looks like a pastel but for future photos you may want to avoid flash and filters.
