I'd jump on that in a heart beat, female or not .

If you're really lucky, she'll think it's defective because it has all of those white spots.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

If you want another snake then $50 sounds like a pretty good deal even if it turns out to be a male. Make sure you get a history on it and that it's healthy and feeding well and make sure to quarantine from the rest of your collection for at least a month.

well i just got of the phone with the lady who has the ball python female.... we talked for like 4 hours... no lie!... shes a really nice person..she bought this female at the columbia show in s.c. a few years ago and had it sexed and it is a female... she said she is going to give us some pictures of her snake when she was little... and get this.... the lady told me that when she was at the show her son's friend entered a raffle and won a 100% het for albino... her son's friend took the snake and has gotten tired of it... the kid is only like 15 years old and doesnt know much about snakes... the het is what she said it is. he came from a breeder in fortmill s.c.. so she gave me the number to call this guy...i will tomorrow.. she is giving us this het for free... she said that her son's friend doesnt know anything about snakes and just wanted it because her son had one... he does not take care of the het so she was like ill tell them to give it to you... so i think thats kinda cool a $50 female whos breeding size and a new 100% het albino male... monday we are going to pick them both up and take them home! ill post some pictures when we get them all settled in...
