my 03 female cribo from Dean. 40" and growing!

i'm seeing double! her sister looks exactly like yours steve. i also like the color of the black on them. my other yt's are duller that way......kinda brown [?] and nondescript but these are a real crisp charcoal color that i really like. i hope it stays that way! on a comparative note: my 03 uni's are being drawfed by this girl growth wise. she's WAY bigger than even my largest 03 male. they eat mice, she eats f/t small rats but wants a piece of my cats! lol.............

Dan,how's the temperment on yours? Mine has never struck out at me except the other day i put a couple of stunned mice in for the first time(she has always had f/t) and after i reached in to see if she had eaten she struck at me but didn't bite. Other wise a real calm snake. i guess it's from being captive born?

steve, mine was super shy for the longest time and would BOLT into her hide at the first sign of any kind of outside movement.....so naturally, i installed her in a high traffic area. lol! it worked! no longer shy in the least, she now knows why her lid opens every so often and rises to meet me and openly stares back at anything staring at her.....in stark contrast to her earliest behaviour. she has never offered to bite and is pretty calm at cleaning time, about the only time she really gets handled......considering that their mother is named lady evil and that i had one dubbed pyscho b-tch before, i feel like i'm getting off easy. a mean, nasty yt is one thing but a nasty 8'
yt is quite another. cb's all the way!!
