I get a call from a local pet shop saying they have two female balls that someone brought in. They said they were 2-3 feet long and looked healthy. I figured I could get a good deal so I go to get them and as soon as I saw the bag I knew it was gonna be a good day. Two fat healthy females both over 2500 grams and more like four feet!! I order my rodents with the pet shop so we both get a better deal so the owner was nice enough to give them to me for free since someone just came in and dropped them off. They both weighed over 2500 and were super fat so I gave them a feel when I got home and both have small follicles! And it gets better I had some large rats thawed out already and both of them ate like it was there last meal. I can't find big captive raised females that eat frozen rodents for sale let alone get two big ones for free! Alright I am done I just had to brag. I thought these pet shop super finds were urban legend.

It's nice to have friends in the business isn't it? I was given a young Burmese, about three and a half feet long, Back in December from the shop I get my rodents and crickets from. Someone just dropped it off because " it was aggressive." It had mites big time. That's been fixed and she/he is now almost six feet long and eatin' three med. rats a week, and is as mellow as it gets. I LIKE IT!!
