Picked this guy up at the Hamburg Pa show this weekend. I'm in awe. This is probably the largest pit I've handled and all I can say is WOW.

that's northern. And a girthy one at that.

Man, that's epic. I'm deffinitly going to look into a northern pine this year.

YEEEEEAAHHHH- that guy ROCKS!

Couldn't really tell how big he was until that first shot in your hand!

I'm guessing 7' or less. Makes you wonder what an eight footer would be like to handle.

thats a great snake northerns rule [ I have 8 ]

some more

If I recall I saw you post that last pine before. That might be the nicest one I've ever seen. Isn't that one of Russ P's offspring? I have a young pair from him as well.
Don

yes,two of the n.pines I have are from russ

that is quite a collection you're building. can you give a list of all that you have?

Well, I have alot of snakes and a dicontented girl friend. Just kidding, I'm lucky to have a female around who is understanding of my pathology. Lets see;
1.0 tiger rat (awesome)
1.1 black milk (Clay Davenport stock - these will get big)
1.0 honduran (vivid line)
2.1 nortern pines
1.0 radiated rat (underappreciated species)
1.0 grey/ white oak rat
.1 oketee corn
1.0 blue beauty 9'
1.1 chinese beauty
1.2 peruvian red tail boas
0.1 false water cobra (haven't been tagged yet - very mellow)
1.0 sinaloan milk
1.1 leucistic texas rats
.1 water python
alot of kings!

that should be discontented.

If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?

Apparently he was someones long term pet. Initially they weren't even sure about his sex (you could tell from a mile away he's male), let alone his exact age. I'm not complaining though as I consider this a nice find for 175$. He's in perfect condition and despite his girth he's not fat at all, just very solid. You could confidently have a child handle this snake. He's obviously been handled quite a bit.
