First Pit- Bullsnake
Hey guys/gals
Got down to the monthly reptile show to see if I could find a bull snake. After seeing Bandits and El-Z's pits I just had to get one. Girlfriend came along which was pretty cool. Saw a few bull color morphs that were really bright, but outside of something black and white I think the normals looked great. Picked up a 1 month old female from by happy chance the same breeder I bought my hoggie from for a pittance of $25. After he talked with my lady a bit about turtles we also grabbed a yellow bellow slider for $15. Walked out of the show for $40 hahaha
Not sure what I'll name the bull just yet but she actually nailed my index finger and put on a terrific hissy fit when I was trying to move her from the cup to her cage. Tail was rattling and I've got to say it sure convinced me. That strike is like lighting! I'll let her cool off for couple weeks and give a feed.
In related news my breeder mice had their first litter Friday. I only have frozen pinks for my hoggie and bull baby is eating fuzzys. So it'll be nice to get her rodents that are properly sized. The size difference between the hog and bull blows me away and I hear they grow quite fast. I'm impressed by her attitude haha.
All in all, a pretty good day.
Semper Fi,
