I called a buddy whose really into turtles up in Asheville Nc, to see if he had a spare male ball python (he told me to never buy them as he always has people giving them to him) and he happend to be comming down to Charlotte today. Well he also asked me if I wanted the female Graybanded he had, I said "I dont have $270 to give you". His reponse was that he needs space and he knows it would get a better home than it had with him -"all I do is feed it, you'd give it a better home" (though hes very good with his animals. Well he also brought me a 20 long to put it in, and a water dish and heating pad. I told him I didnt want to buy any more snakes and save money and if he had a cage etc, Id take it. Well I posted a pic of her- its not great but it gives you an idea. She will get treated like royalty, even though shes not a bullsnake- which are my favorites... I finally asked him if he wanted any money for it, and he said no but just that if he or his gf wanted any orchid growing advice or plant care stuff... I would owe him, well shucks thats an easy request!
She is my first Gray Band, and I think I'm going to enjoy the privelage of owning her.

) along with a stuning pair of tropical black milksnakes (I think they were of central American origin)- these were totally black and shiny, each being 5'- the biggest milks I've ever seen and STRONG, just beautiful- those he sold. He had offeres for my snake, but they came often at the same time when he had promised it to another bidder, well that bidder fell through and he ended up sitting on the snake and only seeing it for a few mins each week when he fed and cared for it. Shame he thought with such a nice snake. So he wanted me to have it, since I also do programs wiht my animals, and would enjoy it. His gf/partner is also in nursing school here in Charlotte, and 2 hours away from my friend- and I am pretty into the resturant and cultural scene here in downtown Charlotte. I'm looking forward to getting her out around town to the symphony, shows and operas also- its amazing the deals you can get on $$$ tickets with a student ID- gotta love it, and Charlotte is culturally and physicaly growing in leaps and bounds. Glad you all liked the pic of her, I'll try and take some better ones- if.. she will ever just pose nicely for a pic!
