Well I just got back from my field herpin trip in Arizona. Naturally I had to visit all of the herp shops, and my boyfriend being the awesome snake loving guy he is, bought me this girl. He after all was coming home with a new adult Hogg island boa. Only fair that I come home with something too. 
Anyhow, I went into one store and inquired about this girl.. One employee said the reptile guy wasn't in yet, and to come back later. So I did, and hunted down the herp person.. Chatted him up a bit.. Took out and handled the blood, impressed him by not getting tagged once as she is/was an angry biznatch, and got onto the subject of generally pissy snakes, which led to talk of retics.. And after a bit of collection discussion, turned out I knew this person through Kingsnake and nearly bought an adult female Jampea retic from him. LOL. Small world. The blood turned out to be his that he purchased from the Barkers about 5 years ago as a baby. And he sold her to us for a steal($139.60 to be exact . So moral of the story, I finally have myself a nice blood python in my group. She's a tad on the thin side, and small for her age at about 4ft, but oh well. She wolfed down 2 jumbo rats tonight so i'm not too terribly worried. And as usual, my camera really washed out her color. She's much more red then this, instead of the brown the camera made her look. Damn thing. You know how it is....
