Where did you get this snake? It looks like a sibling of the one I have left. Did I sell it to you? -Dave S.

She was produced at Serpentine Dreams in 05'. She has an amazing solid patter and she just keeps getting lighter with every shed. I hope to prove her out one day but for now i am actually focusing on my Retics. She is the only Burm i have as of now until she reaches breeding potential. She is just amazing, i have had many other granites and not one could compare to her great temeper and pattern.

Thats kinda of ironic. You are in the exact same boat as me. I had a granite that looks just like yours. Same exact length, same girth, same color and same pattern, and is 66% het. I had 7 baby burms last year and sold them all and kept my girl as my holdback. And believe me there were hard for me to sell. I sold the president of the New England Herp society one and he liked his so much he told his friend who owns a zoo in Ma and that guy bought 2 of them that to my knowlege are still on display at his educational zoo. Again I only have one burm left and would like to prove this one out too. I too am into retics. Right now I got a 05' female albino tiger(prehistorics), and I got a male 06' albino super on the way. What do you got for retics. If I could only keep one snake for the love of the hobby it would definately be my granite, but like yourself I have to focus on my investment retics. Do you have any other pics of your girl. My granite is in shed but after she shed I will definatly post some pics for you to see how close mine is to yours. Also my has the strongest feeding response I have even seen in any of my animals over the years. Even though my granite is super tame, if there is food in the room, she will know right away and will climb out of her cage to get it. She even eats in blue shed. She is a very fat snake. I cant wait to show you some pics, and please post others of yours. Thanks buddy - Dave

here is a pic I took in December. She was about 4ft then and was eating jumbo rats. Acutaly this pic was taken after her first rat and it was a jumbo rat. I think she like them a little too much now at almost 6ft. I will post others after the shed. Oh she is lighter then in the pic. Kinda a dark pic on a dark day.
