So I think I am going to get a pair of balls to kind of round out my collection. My wife likes them because they are so gentle and she can handle them, unlike my chondros. :p
Looking around and talking to some people I think the first will be a female and then probably late next year a male.
I really like the Butter morph. Awesome looking snake. I found someone selling a 2011 baby (one born late July, the other mid August). I do have pictures but they aren't mine so am reluctant to show them.
Not knowing the price range of morphs, I think the price is fair for a female...$300 + shipping.
What size tub would a 2011 baby need?

I keep hatchlings in 6qt sterilites until about 500 grams or so and then move up into bigger containers.

Thanks. Is there anything I should look for or avoid when it comes to Butters?

They really like small spaces.
My babies go into 6 QT shoebox size tubs.
When they get to about 300 grams I move them up to a 32 QT divided tub.
So it is like a 16 qt long tub.
They stay there until they hit 1200 grams then they go into a regular 32 Qt tub.
When I'm ready to start breeding her she goes up to a 41 Qt or a CB70.
Butters / Lessers are a good choice. Good luck

Thanks.
Not having to get tubs for ground dwellers who like tight spaces, care to share photos of those tubs?
