NW Expo purchases

[sgrdolphin]

So I went to the Northwest Captive Breeders Expo and of course I had to buy some snakes. I got three hatching Children's Pythons. They are not feeding well so I got a really sweet deal. I got 1 male and 2 females. The male is doing really well took down a pink last night (with a little help), one of the females is doing well too, she also eat with some help. The third female was really dehydrated, she took the pink last night but regurgitated it a few hours later. I have given her a few soaks in warm water and that seems to have helped her a little but I wont be to hopeful until she eats and keeps it down.

Here are some pictures of the male



He's a bitter, and once he gets you he wont let go....

Good looking snake though. I've always thought that childrens/spotten pythons have a very beautiful look and pattern to them.

Does he have a wound on his lower back? Something is sticking up it looks like.

That is just so coconut fiber that stuck to him. Also Children's and Spotted are too different kinds of snakes. The Spotted are larger and can be cross breed with a couple of different species and called a spotted. these are 100% Children's, they are the second smallest python in the world. They are also called the faded python. There is only a few breeders that do to out cross to spotted.

I know the difference, just used the wrong key.
