Question about this "morph"

Just picked this girl up today. This is the only pic I have right now (can post more in better light tomorrow)

Was just wondering if she's anything special?

Thanks

Yes is a pretty normal. So where in the original post was there anything about feeding live? Seems kind of odd to me that one asks about a snake and has that as a quote.
 
Buttons, please notice in your own signature the qualifier of "so far".

My sister-in-law saw a ball python miss a strike on a live rat... and the rat literally took off the top of the snake's skull. It's never a problem until it's a problem. I hope you have money set aside for vet bills in case you are one of the ones who ends up with a problem.
 
Nice, cherry-pick a post from Kathy out of context and make it your signature to promote an agenda. I've seen it all, now.

Thank you. After posting this I looked around at some other pics and figured that's what she would be. :)

Good luck fitting in here. Out of context quoting one of the most respected people in the corn snake world. Yep that should get you far. :nope:
 
Wow.... that signature was from 2009. I feed F/T. I have since I first started with reptiles over 10 years ago.

That came from an argument that started on here back then. I'll change it if it makes people that upset. haha wow.
 
Let's put the whole post up so people can see it in context.

Although snakes fed live prey COULD have better muscle tone than snakes eating f/t (if they receive no other exercise), it would be very easy to mimic the "live action", and initiate constriction in most corns - if you don't have too many snakes. Just make sure the mouse is warmer than room temp, and use forceps or tongs to play "cat and mouse". Once you learn the best technique for eliciting the constriction response in your snake, your pet will have no idea that the prey is not alive.

As stated, it is safer, cheaper, and if you don't raise live mice, more convenient, to feed f/t. That said, I DO feed live occasionally without problem - so far. But there is always that very small chance of injury, and they must be supervised (checked on) frequently to make sure the mouse is not chewing on the snake. With only one snake, the advantages of f/t would seem to outweigh live.

We answered your question. You know darn well your sig line was nothing short of trolling. And the new one isn't much better. Staying on topic isn't required here, conversation is allowed to flow. And people who don't stir poo are usually very well tolerated, you should try it!

You off quote one of the most respected members here. Then when questioned about it you change the sig to take a shot at the membership in general. And your concern is staying on topic. :laugh:
