Nice Matt ! Those are sibs to my female. How big are they ? I have a pic of one of the parents somewhere Ill have to dig it out. Here is a pic of my 2005 San Antonio Zoo male from John Cherry. This guy is already getting quite large (for reference about 2" or more bigger than that female I sent ya). He just shed and he is also getting dark but its hard to tell in this pic as the flash brightens everything up. Ill get pix of the female thats a sib to your pair from Clay Davenport whenshe sheds.

Thanks Keith,

Well, for size on that pair, the female is a bit smaller than the female I got from you, and the male is maybe an inch longer than the FL female from you. Due to a mess up from RodentPro, the mice order I was supposed to get a week and a half ago just arrived back on their door steps!!!! They put the wrong address on it! - I bet it wreaks....

So I haven't had any mice to feed my babies, - except for some rat tails =]. I'm going to be feeding them all rat pinkies...

At least they're sending me a new order free of charge that should arrive tommorow!

PS - the Yearling male I got from you, "Blacky" has a great feeding response!!!!

Keith, bought some fuzzies today and the Andean ate READILY, and the FL female was a bit skittish of it, as I had also just moved her into a new cage. LEft it in there for a bit on top of her hide slab, she didn't make any moves for it.

Then... I grabbed her, took her out.. held her head, and stuck the fuzzy right in front her nose - she grabbed it in a couple seconds and constricted my fingers...

Sometimes they need to be bullied around a bit until they realize you've got something good for them!!
