    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Guess the morph (just kidding!)

she's just a normal
:D

Haven't had a BP since 1998 and when someone at the local reptile society meeting wanted to trade a rescued baby for a corn I had, well, you can see what happened. Finally got her eating, only live so far. She's still thin but way better than when she first showed up! Please meet Snooki:

thanks for looking!

Really enjoyed the photo threads on the lessers and mojaves, so if anyone wants to add photos of their pretty normals or 'dinkers' to this thread, I'd love to see them!

thanks!

you were right, she was a rescue. the guy got her and a couple siblings out of a bad situation, got them to shed and then eat once but she stopped eating. I wasn't sure she was going to make it, after a few weeks she finally took a live fuzzy and has taken them each week now thank goodness. :)

now if I can just get her over to f/t.. that's a battle for another day.
 
i have this lil dinker male photo 1 got him from a ch bag me and my buddy put in for .

photo 2 is a female i just picked up and has similar coloring and reduced patterns i am curious to see what happens :rolleyes:

She's pretty! I love gorgeous normals like that! Congrats on her and hope she switches over for ya. :)
 
She's a little cutie! Welcome back to BP's, April. Should we start a pool as to when you'll have another?? :D
 
Snooki? PLEASE tell me you didn't get that from a certain reality show?:rofl::rofl:

Cute little bugger April! I'm a definite fan of normals lacking the alien heads.

but of course I did! She's kinda orange, got a big head and cute pudgy body, it was the perfect name.
:D
 
She is very pretty!!! Here are a few of my normal girls (the first 3) and one of my boys. I would love to see more too. Many times the normals don't get the attention they deserve. They are quite beautiful too.

That pattern reduction is killer! I'm always on the lookout for nice banded and reduced females but never get lucky :) Congrats!

Regards,

Whoever picked December won, I picked up another gal this last weekend. eek, now I have two!

quick update - Snooki FINALLY took f/t!! Well.. at least, she struck it and coiled it right now, I'm waiting to see if she eats it. I've tried quite a few times with prekilled and f/t these last few months and ms. picky here would come flying out her tub at me then turn her nose up at any dead rodents. I hate live feeders, she was about to find a new home, but now she might be taking her first f/t. I'm so happy!
 
I like reduced pattern BPs (big shock there, I know).
I've currently only got one normal girl left, and she'll probably stay even if I never breed her (again). This is an old pic, but the only one I can access right now

This was the other normal female that I had....selling her was not the brightest decision I've made.

Glad to see you got your girl on f/t. It never ceases to amaze me just how picky these things can be - I had a couple of very strong feeders go off feed because I changed from paper to aspen. Back on paper, back to slamming f/t rats.
 
I'm really digging all these reduced pattern BPs posted in this thread! Harald, that 2nd girl is a beauty, what were you thinking? (I tease)

Snooki did in fact eat her f/t, I'm thrilled!
The new BP I got is already on f/t, thank goodness. (Silly BPs!) I'll try go get a pic of her tonight to add to this thread. She's a pastel, I assume a very average one, i don't know a lot about the morphs.
