Hi everyone,
I just got Jupiter yesterday and wanted to put some pictures up to see what you all think she is. I can see a few different traits and hopefully I can prove them out of her later. She had 40 eggs this year with her previous owner.
I will get one of her belly later, its really beautiful. She has half coloured scales, speckled scales, spots and circles with white holes and even two faint stripes down her back (which you can sort of see in the first picture, they look like shadows). She's a stunner.
Thoughts?

| she's beautiful, but is that her spine in the top pic we can see, although if she's laid a clutch of 40 eggs she'll need some feeding up again. |

| Yeah. I think the previous owners were new to snakes. As I said I got her yesterday. They apparently fed her 1 med mouse a every Thursday which I don't think is enough for her size. I gave her 2 med yesterday and she could have had a third I reckon! She can't manage large but I'll keep her on 2 a week and see how she improves. Or do you reckon 3? |

| probably stick with 2 for now, she'll put the weight on soon enough, although you'd probably be surprised, she might manage a large soon, lucky she's found a nice home |

she's lovely
keep her on 2 but personally I'd feed every 7-10 days - she'll gain weight but not so fast that it can harm her |

Thanks for all your comments. She's around 4 years old and just over 3ft apparently but I will measure her when she's digested.
But what do you think her morph is? |
