I got this female in on a trade. I put a vpi motley in to compare for color. Snake is a bright colored pink. Just curious what you guys think she is.

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

It looks to be a good looking pastel, how long ago did you pick her up?

Picked her up in a trade last weekend but having trouble deciding what to pair with her when she puts on weight.
Even though it's a pretty snake, exposing her to your collection like you did for that picture is extremely risky. You might want to read into proper quarantine procedures and the risks that you take on in not applying them.
That being said, you can put that kind of pastel genetics into anything and it will improve whatever you breed it to.

I know the person she came from really well and how good he maintains his snakes. Normally I quaranteen all snakes for a few months. Thanks for the tip though. I should use more caution even when I know where they came from.

It's a harlequin.

I had the same thought, James. As Jeremy immediately noted, even when an animal comes from a "safe" source, there is no sense taking risks.
would you be able to ask the person you got it from for more info?
It does have a very nice light coloration. I wouldn't say harlequin unless you know it came from that line. I wonder if it's some sort of cross? I've seen some very odd colored crosses before. (not saying it is, but really, without more info on where it came from or it's parents, no way to know.)

Only one way to find out, I will have to breed her and see if pink babys come out,lol. Long story short no way to get info on parents. Hopefully she will fatten up nicely, give me a chance this fall to pair up.
Unless that picture is way off on representing how large she is, breeding that snake this season would be extremely irresponsible. Overfeeding for growth is about the largest mistake you can make when breeding boas, possibly only second to breeding them when they aren't ready yet.

Do you know how old she is? How big is she?
that's an awful long flight to NC, better be a good steak dinner
what made you think Harli?
We could debate it over dinner and a glass of wine

She is over 3 year's old, she is a little over 5' and about 3 1/2" diameter. I dont feel she is to far off from breeding age or size. Just needs to be a little thicker before I feel comfortable.

Saddle shape and body coloration spilling over from the top to the sides without a break in color, although this particular one is more freckled/dirtier than any of the ones I've had (not trying to put your snake down, I think she's a beauty)!.
I do think it has some harly in it though? My .02 anyway?
Brasa steak house where the steak melts in your mouth
Not worth a plane ticket though
that saddle right behind the head with the neck stripe right?
the color is deff. on point
My smoked prime rib is worth the plane ride, April .
On the topic at hand, letting that snake grow naturally for another year is going to give you much better results and add to the snake's longevity as well. Don't get greedy and push her or you're going to screw up a beautiful animal.

Thats a long ride Bill to Ca for dinner and wine.Someone has a crush? lol.
Firebill
Iamcornholio
Nope, no crush. Just pure southern hospitality to a very cool lady
I think we've gotten a little bit too much 
Sorry jrstangChris is right about the age, let her go another year. As far as size, the female at my place that just dropped 20 babies is between 5' - 6', but old enough.
Your right.I already got 4 points yesterday. lol.
Good luck with her Bill and show babies next season when you breed?
