The day finally came

I remember seeing him, colors are even richer in person. What time did you end up going to the expo? We were third in line, got there 45 minutes early lol.

I got there at 11:30, I had to work all morning. I was actually supposed to be getting the butter pastel or pewter male, they were the two I emailed Mr Schifflett about. But when I saw this one, I just couldn't resist. He's been great so far, very curious and active at night from about 10pm to 12:30. He's probably hungry, they had him on an every Tuesday schedule and I'm sure he knows it's getting close. I know your not supposed to feed / handle them for a week after getting them, but if he keeps "hunting" every night I may only wait 5 days to feed. Unless he goes into shed first

I think we left at about 11:20 lol. Those were both nice too, they had a lot of good stuff. One of my snakes ate the day after I got her . I'm trying to decide when to feed the female I picked up yesterday also. She's deep in shed, so I may wait.

Which snakes did you get? We're they also from American made exotics?

I got a Hypo female from 804 Reptiles. The only snakes that caught my eye from American Made Exotics were out of my price range.

That's cool. I like hypos. I gave myself a low budget so that I didn't go overboard 😉 buying there had been a young pied for less than $150 he would have been mine. Although I'm very happy with my little guy. He ate for me last night, took a ft adult mouse as soon as I left the room. I think it's a good sign, he'd only ever had live rats (pinkies and pups) per the breeder.

If that $150 pied had been a female I would have snatched her up before you got there . Don't think the price of pieds is going to drop that low anytime soon though lol. I've never been impressed with hypos, but I thought she was one of the nicest looking single gene snakes there, super blue. Congrats on him eating f/t right away! And a mouse when he was used to rats. Maybe he'll be a good eater.

I was so surprised that he ate, I was really only offering it as a 'why not' it's been 7 days since the breeder fed him. I hope it continues
