Went to Montana to be with my husband's family for a few days and his best friend talked him into taking his neighbor's BP that the neighbor wanted to get rid of.
I just don't get people! We did come home with that BP and he's a bit rough. Guy had him on a mix of
sand and
gravel! It is supposed to be at least three years old but is about the size of a six month old or yearling. He's a little skinny, for his length but not starved looking or anything. No surprise he's got some stuck shed, somewhat surprising that it looks like only one shed and no retained eye caps. He's getting a sauna at the moment.
Neither of us are big BP fans, so we will probably keep him a few months, make sure he's eating, try to get some weight on him and make sure he's healthy and then try and find him a good home. Been saying "he" but no idea of the gender so far.
Sounded like he was eating fairly well for the guy and that he wasn't being short changed on feeding, so I'm not sure why he's kind of stunted size wise. Do you guys think he will stay really small if we get him eating well and he's otherwise healthy or do you think he will get closer to the usual size for a BP of a similar age eventually?
