This is breaking my heart but I need to find a new home for Ketchup. She's about 4 yrs old/4ft, feeds and sheds well. The for why is that she bit me a while back and although I've handled her since and she hasn't bitten I'm just freaked by it - I know in my head there's no reason but my instinct won't listen  So what happens is that I don't handle her much at all now and she rattles at me when I approach so I back off.
She was great to start with and I consider the bite to be my fault as I woke her and went in too fast - she's my first snake and I think I should have started with a hatchling - she needs an experienced handler and I'm sure she'd stop this nonsense but I can't cope *sad and v. embarrassed* 
She'd be free to the right person and comes complete with viv and all the trimmings - I'm in SE England near Tunbridge Wells. |

| Just pointing out, I'd gladly take her, regardless of morph (never look a gift horse in the mouth) just interested as to whether she'd match up with my male :P Could probably pick her up between tuesday and thursday :) |

Thanks Clintham for that - yes very sad
Thank you all for coming to my rescue and sorry Pitcher and Whitedog but I'm going to go with Josh as he was first in and so keen.
If I'm brave enough to get a hatchling I'll be back!!  |

Hi Josh,
I'd be happy for you to have Ketchup :-)
I think she's a Carolina Normal - just going to attach piccies if I can - more on FB if you do that thing!
She's in a tank 3' x 1' x 1.5' high with hides and bath and perspex lid held down with bricks!!
Her last feed was Fri 6th so she's due another soon - I've no mice left, sorry.
She's been on mediums about every 10 days but I was going to buy large this next time as I think she'd be able to take them.
I won't feed her if yr coming on Wed but I can probably get some mice as I'll be working out near the pet shop.
I also feel she's about ready for a bigger tank - my partner was going to build a front opening one 3' x 2' x 2' so I could access her from the front (less likely to get bitten if yr not approaching from above) and taller so she could have some branches to climb. That's all up to you, just letting you know where I was at!
What time can you come on Wed because I was planning to work but will put it off if you can't make it after 5ish.
Jane :-) x
