Well I did... I drove for 6 hours today to get this little guy... Say hello to Leon... Crystal future boy friend... I know I said I didn't want to breed but I don't have to make up my mind on that for a few years...

Leon is a one month old, Lemon, aka, Russo Het White Diamond ball python and supposedly will produce BELs... I got to see his mother and father which look exactly like Leon but I saw his brother who is a BEL... Fun, Fun, Fun

Well shes not let me up load pictures for some reason... I'll try again later...

Glad you ended up getting him. Can't wait to see pics.

Ok! Since I can seem to upload pictures lets try YouTub...
We had a little emergency at the end of the first video; Fred got away from my wife so we had to stop filming... The second video is about Leon...

I'm a sooo happy!
When I got Leon, the breeder said he had been feeding him live pinky mice... His craigslist add stated F/T... I thought, Oh well!... But last night after being here just two days, he took his first F/T fussy rat ever and he ate it like a champ... At first I thought it might be to big, but he got it down... I was shock that he ate.... but soooo happy!

That's great news! They hatch out large enough for small rat pups, so I am puzzled as to why a breeder would offer pinkie mice in the first place...but it sounds like you've got a good handle on it. Congrats on the new addition.

Thanks Andy...Ya I wondered that myself... He told me this when I literally had one foot in my car and the other on the ground... He said something like, he like to give them a good start... I don't know what he meant by it...
