Christian was charging 400.00 for it though, which I guess isnt a terrible price, but its still a ton for a fresh import

9 adults, 7 newborn babies were imported Nov 6, 2013. Two babies died almost immediately. I have the remaining 5 babies and also 3 (1.2) adults. Valley now has 1 of the adults. Wonder who got the other 5 adults (if all survived)?

last i spoke to kam, he seems to think this will be the last group he will get for a while. they showed up i believe the first week of dec or the mid nov month. christian over at predators reptile picked his last animal. i was there the day she came in and kept teasing Austin with pictures. i finally figured i'd just make an offer of some dumeril boas i had bred for an "obscure skink that someone else would probably end up killing" and he made the trade with me, wholesale it was about even for the trade. retail is still about even. so it's kinda win win for Austin/myself and Christian. i know he will sell those dumeril boas easily. i don't have the photos from when she first came in. also Austin, the third pic with her under the cork.. on full picture quality mode does it look like she is getting ready to shed?.

While that pair is beautiful, Ray's got 4 others in which at least a couple are awesome looking. One is a beautiful reddish rust color and the female is light yellow green. I'd love to see how babies would look with that pairing.
