ok didnt really plan to get these, but are a proven pair, the female only gave birth like 2 weeks ago. the guy selling had to move house and didnt have enough room for 2. Cost me a tiny bit of cash, a yearling bci and a bunch of rats
They both need a bit of fattening up, and i didnt really need the male, but he is a really stunning red, and the female will come in handy, later this season, or at least the year after.
the male

the female

Bob my original male, a bit fat after some extra rats. Yes he is my garbage disposal snake

still doesnt like me

Just from the pics, I think I'd sell Bob and keep the new male!

yeah but Bob is Bob, could never part with him. he was my first, and has an awesome personality. He is the snake, that made me fall in love with rainbows.
Im kinda getting worried when i start to have holdbacks, im not sure if i will be able to sell anything!!!

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

yeah he kinda red isnt he
Im not sure i will ever be like you dave
1) unless i move, my apartment isnt big enough
2) you have like a 5yr head start on holdbacks

the one good thing is, you guys have dibs on all the US stuff, but i have the whole of europe

I'm guessing only a year or two before the "collection expansion" forces a move to larger apartment or ????

May be ahead of you but only a matter of time before you start catching up. I have to trim down my holdback strategies. Can only take care of so many animals.

I hear ya! I still have my first Ball Python, a 19 yr. old female!

Dave,
...Congrats! Nice looking new ones. I too would keep that male. Don't keep Bob too fat. My breeder males that are most active with the females are all a little on the thin side. It is hard for us to be trying so hard to feed the females up to be big and hefty while at the same time trying to keep the males thin. Rather than using any snake as a garbage can which I used to do alot I kill and freeze the extra rats.
Jeff

If you don't need the red male, I might be able to make room for him..

Nice pickup for sure!

Thanks,
Ed
