I do not have a photo. Check out this thread. It will help with sexing. http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/bree...xing-pics.html

What a shame on the food issue. Did you tell them about the crickets?

[aquamentus_11]

i've tried in the past. the one lady knows to feed fish at least. the owner is pissed at me though because she ordered a wc garter for me before i even told her what i wanted. i took one look at the lesions on its tail and said no thanks. then i got Hydra.

Make sure that you tell them about the crickets...perhaps make a copy of one of our caresheets and take it to them. Explain to them that the crickets can kill them if they actually eat them because they cannot digest the exoskeleton of insects and it creates intestinal blockage in the snake. More often the snakes do not eat them and die of starvation. If I were you I would go ahead and buy the snake and ask if you can pick her up Monday, if you really want her...so someone else doesn't buy her first. Just make sure she is a she and that you have a separate enclosure for her.

ah thanks. yeah i would say female on this one i think.

Well...if the pet store will let you, you can take a pic of her vent and upload it and we can confirm it for you.

[aquamentus_11]

yeah they'd let me. the true battle is with my girlfriend. we're moving in together next year and she wants me to limit it to one snake. she is reasonable and i see her argument, it's just not correct. i really hate having to completely ignore her input.....
