My first B/P (and a second on hold!!)

[Snakefood]

So I ended up going in a slightly different direction than what I was first looking at.

The pastel on kijiji is being fed live mice (at 3 yrs old) and the owner admitted to regular bad sheds.

The rescue spider B/P is just a baby and has a pronounced head wobble, so I was advised against grabbing him.

So I called up henry Piorun (a very reputable breeder in my area) and mananged to find a beautiful Pastel male 2 yr old B/P for $100. and then he showed me the perfect female spider 50% PH Ghost who I put a deposit down on, so I will have second soon. But the female spider is just a baby born last fall.

So here is my very first B/P!! No name yet

And here is the female spider that I have on hold for me!!

Congrats!! Great choices ;)

[Snakefood]

thx, and thanks again for all your help!!

[Swany]

Congrats on the new family members, when will you get the female ?

[SpOoKy]

Congratulation :)

[Snakefood]

Congrats on the new family members, when will you get the female ?

LOL!! when I pay her off!! I am only allowed to use my snake-food profit for buying new snakes + my b-day $$ which I spent today.

I got him down to $350 for the female, and put down $85 today, so maybe 2-3 weeks and I can bring her home. Gives me time to get her set up done since I was only expecting to bring one home TODAY so only had one set up and calibrated!!

[Swany]

Superb, here's hoping it wont be long ;-)

[Snakefood]

me too!! she is so sweet, but until then, I'll get to know my boy!!

He's not shy at all. I took his pics and put him in his viv which he is exploring. I just went to see what he was doing and he came right up to the glass to "look back"

doesn't seem stressed at all. But then again, I am only used to what a stressed corn acts like, they get mean!!

Congrats!!!!

[Jenn_06]

congrats they both look really nice.

[Snakefood]

Thank you!!

[exwizard]

Congratulations. You will enjoy him a lot. :)

[Snakefood]

already am!! Leaving him alone in his tank (handling wise) but I am loving to sit and watch what he does, he is very curious!!

[alessia55]

Congrats! Let him settle in, and I hope he starts eating for ya!

[Snakefood]

Henry said he had just eaten 3 days ago (as of yesterday) so I figured if I offered a rat in a week, he'll be good!!

He is from a really great breeder, this one!! Who feeds fresh killed to all his snakes, so I figure the difference between fresh killed and F/T can't be that much right, dead is dead after all!!

[GarterPython]

So you ended up getting both! YAY!

[JustBitten]

Congrats! Henry's place should be renamed the Candy Store.

[Snakefood]

It is my candy store, he has 2 others that I am VERY interested in, but I think I should just pay off this female first!!

[Snakefood]

well I'm getting there!! I have almost 1/2 of the remaining debt on my spider female!!

[alessia55]

well I'm getting there!! I have almost 1/2 of the remaining debt on my spider female!!

Wooot! Almost there!

[Snakefood]

so excited!! started setting up her viv, but need to get a couple of things on saturday to finish it up.

Henry Piorun looks like he has a great facility, and he makes great videos. I would love to pick up an animal from him one day.

Great lookin pastel and love that reduced spider, hope she proves out :)

[Snakefood]

Thanks, and me too! And Henry actually has the perfect male to prove her out and add to my gene pool, he wants $400 for him, but that's what he wanted for the spider female too and I got him down to $350. But I have to pay her off first!!

Yes Henry's facility is amazing, and so are his snakes. As soon as you walk in you see 2 huge enclosures, with horse troughs for water dishes sunk in, and (right now) one is empty and the other has two HUGE, beautiful blood pythons.

he has some amazing snakes, I will probably pick up B/P's from him in the future too!!
