All its missing are some lady friends for your BP

[paulholcomb]

she's inside the rock with him!!

I got the female 3 weeks ago and then picked up her old tankmate, the male, last week......I rescued them from a local reptile rescue where the previous owner didn't know they needed humidity and hadn't fed the male in over a year. The female is between 2/3 years of age and 3 feet long......the male is almost 4 feet long but severely underweight, I don't know his age. The male has an almost reduced pattern lacking the dark spots within most of the brown/grey markings and little to no yellow.......the female has a lot of yellow but not showing the typical yellowbelly triangle markings and she doesn't have a clear belly. I don't know what they are so they're just "Normals" to me!

No wai! NormalXNormal or? Either way when they pip its amazing, even more amazing when its thought to be NormalXNormal but they are both hets! Good luck!

Wow that is a nice enclosure!! I want to build something like that, I just gotta find an old dresser made out of wood that's safe... But how the heck do I know what kind of wood its made of!

[LLinz]

Very nice pair you got there, sir

[stephanbakir]

The big one in blue looks almost like a spider,but my understanding is that spider is a dominant geen and you cannot get hets so I'll leave that to one of our BP gods that lurk the forums. second one looks like a pretty normal.

[paulholcomb]

the big one, my male, just shed 2 weeks ago.......the little female shed last week

[Dehlida]

Hey Paul,
Both are normal however the male I'm starting to think more and more was an import that is sold and looks pretty normal- however may carry some sort of reduced pattern gene, it's unsure and would take a lot of breeding. Female never really looked yellow-belly to us, and she doesn't have the green eyes of a pastel. We think she's also just a very pretty normal who could end up throwing some nice babies later down the line- but her genetics are up in the air as well.

A lot of normals carry all sorts of genes in them somewhere- breed enough "normals" to eachother and who knows what can pop out- as shown with these guys.

-Glad to see that male is eating well, how many rats is that 4 now? LOL nice job!
