So today I went to our local Petco and caught glimpse of a strange lil' snake in with the normal ball pythons. As luck would have it, it was feeding day. My Petco has a tank full of normals and a tank full of pastels. Apparently, there was was a mix up and the largest pastel got put in with the norms after eating. So what do I do? I buy it right before the two other customers (who had secretly pointed out the error as well) got a chance. I slipped right by paying less than $60 for the snake. When I got home, I found out that it was a healthy female! While the other bp's where probably around 90 grams, this lil' gal was a whopping 300 and was 24". Score! I'm going to Repticon in a couple weeks. Maybe I should get a spider male and produce some bumblebees!
Haha jk. Maybe when she's older.
