I've recently picked up a few neat BRBs. Finally got some pictures taken of them so I can share with you guys.

I'll post them up, Dave style.

Got this neat looking girl from Tom Davis. She is from his Pearl line. I love her fat crescents and really light coloration.

Another female from Tom Davis. This Bullseye's coloration is out of this world! She is a proven breeder, but a finicky eater. May be a year or two before I can get her weight back up for a healthy breeding.

She looks awesome. It'll be great when you get her back up to breeding size.

Beautiful, too bad she's a finicky eater. Try different things, types of prey, prey sizes etc. maybe you can find her sweet tooth!

Tom said he could only get her to eat live mice... so I'll keep trying those first. She killed the one I offered her last feeding, but didn't eat it.

Hey Aubrey, if you can get her to eat a small live mouse, you can always follow it up with 1-2 f/t or fresh killed ones before she finishes swallowing the first.

Picked up this handsome fellow at the Tinley Park show last month. I have been on the lookout for a double-dot male and an eclipse male. When I saw both features on this little guy I knew he was coming home with me.

Getting this young Anery female was bittersweet for me. From the ad, her picture and from the description she was supposed to be quite a bit lighter, and she was also supposed to be able to breed next season if 'fed well'. Well, when I got her she was just as dark as a regular Anery, and was waayyyyy small. I highly doubt she would have babies in 2011, even if power fed.

Regardless, I didn't have any Anery blood in my collection so I didn't want to return her. Worked out a deal with the breeder, and here she is to stay.

I don't think the breeder truly meant to misrepresent her, and I have no hard feelings.

too bad she was not quite what she was supposed to be. At least you do now have Anery genes!!!

Nice pick ups, what line/strain is the Anery out of interest?

This girl is, well, AWESOME! She has a really rich red coloration, a proven breeder, and enormous! The best part of her, though are the patches of white scales. These are actual white scales, not scars at all. The previous owner says she was born with those white spots, and the one litter that she has produced had all normal looking babies. Perhaps recessive? Who knows, could be nothing at all... but definitely worth it to try! Being that she was born with the patches, it is probably not related to Dave's Calico line, but who knows... best case scenario is that the trait is recessive and can be line bred to be like the pied ball pythons. How sweet would that be?

She was a planned pick-up at the Tinley show.

Those white patches are neat. It'll be exciting to see where that takes you down the road.

Sweet pickup, I first saw her after you had already swooped her up or I would have been very interested in getting her. Did not know she was born that way.
