We got ours from the St.Pierres 9 months ago as a hatchling. She is the sweetest, friendliest little thing and eats like a champ. They were wonderful through the whole transaction as well.

Here she is at 9 months old "cuddling" with Rob.

Here's one of her 1 month after her arrival. The growth rate has been amazing to see!

She is amazing, and the St.Pierres are wonderful respectable breeders. Don't think, though, that the younguns are always calm and receptive. Rob pets her every day before feeding, often getting her to come out, and I pet her every day (several times) once I get home in the afternoon and feed her again. We let her tell us when she wants to come out and let her come out on her own. She can still be skiddish at times, but is much calmer and doesn't flinch when we reach in. Most times she raises her butt and closes her eyes loving the attention. It has taken her whole life (9 months) of constant handling and attention so far to convince her we are good.

She is truely amazing, and we love her to pieces.

No, but have had many inquires with them over the years, all positive and respectable. They are some of the most experienced breeders around.
