Thanks I was just taken with his personality as well as his looks. He is a ravenous eater but also so laid-back when handled. I wanted a "general snake" to be handleable while everyone else is either being bred or rested between breeding. But I am also debating on giving him a female and trying to prove out his stripe. I saw a site where someone had a similar male, bred it to a regular female, and got some full-stripe babies (not the "genetic stripe" with no pattern; that is a bit out of my league.)
I also got to see my first Cresties at their place (they breed bps, beardies and a few other herps.) They are cute! They also had a stunning NERD lemon pastel male.. we are going to work out a breeding loan (switching females) next year.. it is so cool to find people like-minded in your area!
