I put up this post some time back and got some action. Hopefully your thread will shake some more out of the woodwork.

...got her from Isis at the Pasadena show in November this year. Isis is only two miles from where I live in Ventura.

Lovin2act Jan 19, 2010 05:19 PM

How is her temperament? I got one at that show from Isis as well and she is nothing short of a psycho [bleep] lol! Mine is a pink patternless that I thought my girlfriend would like, and she does... until I take her out I have a leucistic male as well from Isis who is calm as can be and only a month older. Here's hoping the pink calms down here soon and will switch to f/t feeders as well. Right now she only will take live mice no matter what I try with her. She just hates me haha!

Ok fine just Markus.

The very existence of flamethrowers means that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves..."You know, I really want to set those people over there on fire...but I'm just not close enough to get the job done!

monklet Jan 19, 2010 05:35 PM

Maybe I got lucky. This one is just a little jumpy when I take her out but then she handles nicely, especially for a young'n. Isis mostly feeds live but she went on f/t immediately, though she never jumps at it.

I also have an '08 male luecy from them. He is very calm and hard to get off your arm (like a big milk) but feeds sporadically. Never really goes off feed, just refuses every other time. He's about 3.5' now, but very stout.

Good luck with yours. Updates are always welcome.

p.s., I dig your flamethrower sign-off...what was that guy thinking

Lovin2act Jan 19, 2010 07:36 PM

Sounds like it! I hope mine will calm down soon but I am kinda okay with having one crazy mean snake too just for some flavor to my collection I guess...all my others are pretty mellow. I really hope she will take a f/t soon though as I DO NOT want to get into the rat eating stages of her life and have to deal with feeding live still.

Oh wow I bet we have brother leucy's! Mine is about 3.5 feet too! Whats your fellows birthday? I'll check for my boys tomorrow at work where I left his birth certificate haha! But yeah my boy was a jerk at first and then calmed right down and is a big ol lug now when it comes to handling. Funny you mention the feeding thing with yours...mine has always fed once a week no problem, but this past week he stopped and has refused now twice. Go figure cause he is all over his cage cruisin around like he is wanting to be fed. So I'll try him next week just so he can work up his appetite here.

Glad you like my sig I did too when I first saw it on another forum lol!

Matt and Monk,
I had already asked John about these several months ago. "Early bird gets the worm". Sorry guys.

I will be, lol!

antelope Jan 21, 2010 12:58 AM

Matt, you didn't ask to be on the list, lol! You must specifically state that you want to be on the list, then, state who you want to be put in front of, touch your nose, spin around three times and click your ruby slippers together, and say, there's no pines like those, there's no pines like those, there's no pines like those...if you're lucky, you'll get hit in the head with a house and forget what you wanted, have a crazy dream, then wake up surrounded by the pits you love! In the mean time, please put me on the list in front of Matt and Brad!

monklet Jan 17, 2010 03:48 PM

Great stuff, can you explain what's going on in the tennis net?

jodscovry Jan 18, 2010 08:48 AM

I own a big custom home with tennis courts, the snakes just did that on their own, whats funny is normaly they would go down at a diagnal line but that day I put both on at the same time and thats just how it happened. Here is a pic of me and a pinesnake shed I found in the woods in hernando Co.

sherlogg Jan 17, 2010 01:18 PM

These are 2, i got from a clutch this year

monklet Jan 17, 2010 03:47 PM

sherlogg Jan 18, 2010 03:29 AM

Thank you.
