the question is this....is it a wise buy to get her knowing that she is probably pregnant? i have never hatched snakes before, but have had them for a while. i currently have two other ball pythons. the pet store snake is very unique, (then again, isnt every normal ball posted here? hehe). in fact, both the male and female are very nice. my thinking was this....should i buy her as kind of a "practice" snake*? or, should i buy them both? space and money for care, including for the possible babies, is not an issue. i dont know anything about the snakes upbringing. i visually weighed her in at at least 2000gms. the male is naturly smaller. the pet store knows me very well, and they would surely give me a deal on the already LOW price. what do you guys think?

Deal

p.s. i have seen these two locked up on and off for two weeks.

* this no way implies any kind of wierd expirements or anything, you just have to start some where, right?

LOL, yup ya gotta start somewhere. I'd go ahead and buy both of them. That way if they did happen to throw something exceptional you would have both parents to do it again or maybe cross with something else. JMHO. Good luck with what ever your choice is.

I say go on ahead and get them. If you don't, I will

What shop are they at? I'm also in KC (southern) and I remember sometime a while back you saying you were from...Independence? Olathe?

I don't wanna steal them from you, but i'm not gonna let 'her' go to 'waste' in the pet shop. If you don't get them, can you tell me where they're at?

Nice find anyways.

Oh, and i'm reaaally sorry if i'm mixing you up with someone else...
