Post your reptiles that you sold for one reason or another that you'd like to get back or at least see how they turned out. :)

Here are some of mine from over the past few years...

Irian Jaya Carpet Python - Philemon I traded this guy, and a few months later he went back up for sale. I have no idea who bought him, but would still love to know if he is around, or if hes for sale somewhere.

Id still love to have this guy back. he was a real great snake.

Don't worry, the carpet went to a close friend of mine and we're planning on getting her a coastal jag boyfriend when the time comes. ;)

Can't believe you let go of that cinny though! Wish I was the one who took it from you!

I think that's the best ghost I've seen!

Actually it is a breitensteini. I traded this one to a friend as well and the good news is I will get to have one of her daughters from this past year when she was bred to an Ultra Breit. :D

Christian -- that ghost is smokin !!!!

I have a few dinker projects that I wish I held onto -- but space being what it is -- it was better to let someone else dink with them. But this one little girl still has me wondering what ever became of her - she was sold off as a pet so I don't even think she will be bred unless she is resold some day.

Wow I don't know how anybody could have let go of so many beautiful females!! Tosha that female I would have kept! Nice Ghost Christian! :D
Loving that Woma BT!

We plan to hold onto every female we produce for the next 2-3 yrs...

now whether or not we plan to sell some later on down the road is another thing but when/if we do decide to let go of any they'll be that much bigger for the person who would intend to breed them one day!

You can never have enough females!!

I often wonder how this one would have turned out as an adult... pictures never did it justice and it just kept looking better and better with each shed... He was about 375-400g's in the picture.

This girl right here I will always miss...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/djslurp1200/pictures066-1.jpg

And this girl I never wanted to sell but needed funds earlier in the year... She was 1200g's in the pic... :mad:

Selling this guy was a huge mistake...

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q126/jason-gonzalez/100_1164.jpg


I didn't actually sell this guy, but I did lose him before I could breed him. That was easily the lowest point in the hobby for me...

And this girl went to Ed (WildMorph Pythons)
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/rabernet/Craigslist%20Girls/NG6-1.jpg

These girls went to Joanna (Scalekids aka frankykeno)
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/rabernet/Godiva/Godiva4.jpg

This girl is breeding to her cinnamon this season and I get pick of the clutch

This girl she bred to her YB last season

And she's getting this boy this year:

These girls went to Adam (8ballpythons)
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e90/rabernet/Sarah/NewGirl9.jpg

These two girls were a sad story - this guy housed them together and fed them once every three months - if he remembered (his words) - I rehabbed them and they have been with Adam for over a year now:
