I might as well have stolen this pair. A buddy of mine owns a local petshop. Someone brought him in a few snakes to sell. 2 5 foot hypo females!!!! I came in, recognized instantly what they were, and asked what he wanted for them..... He said give me $400 for the pair. DONE DEAL! we probed them to be sure of the sex, sure enough, both females, and both 5 feet, or maybe even a hair bigger. For that price, I think I stole them. But it gets even better.... I'm not an expert, but this one in the first picture, if I didn't know any better, I say she's a SUPER! I dont know anything about these girls' backrounds, but by judging her pattern, and her saddles... or lack thereof. She sure has that look to me! Shes very dark though, especially in this pic cuz she is in shed. but look at that pattern. Does she look like a super????? Opinions would be greatly appreciated!

What do you think? Super????

this is the other girl, and in my opinion, the much more beautiful of the pair. If you look towards the top of the picture, she has a bright red shade down her side. She's gorgous in my eyes

Not a bad catch for $400 huh? haha

never got anything! no babies, no slugs, no stillborns, no nothing! Shes eating again, passed a few meals through ok, no sign of any babies or slugs in her. i guess she was just never gravid! not sure how that happened, I'm sure you saw the pictures of how fat/swollen/lumpy she appeared at times. its got me puzzled! I will try again this season. The male is in with a het female right now, but maybe if I wait on the arab female until a little later when the days are at their shortest, maybe I will have more luck than last year when I did it in October.

Yes from what I've been told about hypos they do have that "super" look in my opinion. The top one has that "super" pattern. I also have a female that looks very similar to the first one. I think yours will look like this one after she sheds. Mine is very active most the time for some reason and about the same size. Given the age and size of those two, I'd say they were worth over a thousand for the pair.
