my first ball and newest addition..

[peterm15]

so heres the story.. i have a few friends that work at a pet store that breed and keep reptiles.. one is actually on this site.. lol.. but i told them to keep an eye out for a female ball.. well yesterday i got a call saying that they just got a female 3 year old and if i want her, come get her.. well i wnt today to pick her up.. and she was WAY bigger than i was expecting.. but exactly what i was looking for.. beauty patterns and a great temper.. hopefully when my male het for pied ( getting next month) is ready shell be willing to breed.. :p ... well here she is about 3 years old and 1552 grams.. :D ... im in seventh heaven..

awe that last pic is nice!!
Whats it like having a bigger snake? :) I hope she does well for your in the future ^^

[peterm15]

its great.. when i went to get her i was expecting to get a bite, what can you expect for the price i paid right.. i also wasnt expecting something so healthy.. but she is very active, loves people.. ate a small rat the other day ( just to make sure she ws eating) and shed before i got there yesterday.. as i got there yesterfay there was someone offering like 250 bucks for her and 4 others during the day were ready to take her home.. i got a great deal... less than half of what i was expecting to pay...so hey.. lol.. i couldnt have asked for better..

thanks for the replies guys

halfway to breeding? At 1552g and 3 years old how long do you wait to breed yours?

She is gorgeous and should give some pretty babies, good luck this fall.

[peterm15]

???

i know she is most likely old enough but im gonna put some weight on her.... shell be another year before breeding

[nita]

Your call of course, by oct if she is a good eater though she could be close to 2000g wich is definately large enough.

[peterm15]

Congrats, She looks great! Hope you get possible het pieds next year:)


i dont know if my het male ball will be old enough... he was just hatched out like a week ago... but i hope so to...


Your call of course, by oct if she is a good eater though she could be close to 2000g wich is definately large enough.

oh shes a good eater... the f/t rat was barely held in front of her the other day and she grabbed hold.. i dont know much about breeding them yet.. weight ect ect.. but im working on it... readin and stuff.. do you know any good sites i should check out???
