New corn just arrived!

Just the one on the web site that showed her as a hatchling. When I asked for any updated pix, he said he hadn't the time since he'd barely been able to get individual pictures of all the 07's on the site as it was.

she looks like a hatchling...

Well, Rich just wrote back and let me know that she is, indeed, around 9 months old and is a stellar eater but a slow grower. He also said that she is probably from a clutch that all hatched out small.

So I'll give her the week to settle in (which may take the whole time since she's still testing every surface of her tub), then start her on a nice schedule of every 5 day feedings and see where she goes from there.
Guess I won't be doing any breeding for a few years...

Many are fed on a maintenance diet. I don't know if Rich does this, but many of the bigger breeders do. Enough so they stay healthy, but not so much that they're growing like weeds. She very well could be a summer '07 hatchling. What matters now is that she's in your hands, and should start to plump up very quickly for you!

See this statement in itself would be enough to make me go elsewhere.I am not pointing out Rich just his statement being in my opinion a poor response to a potential customer.

In Rich's defense, I imagine it was hard enough getting the pics he has up, up. When you hatch out several thousand snakes, getting pics of all isn't feasible. I think he can get away with this because of his reputation for producing such high quality animals. I've bought from SerpenCo w/o seeing pics, and have not once been disappointed - his animals are top notch and that alone I think lets him get away with it. Just my 2¢.
