I have a sub adult female B Smithi who over time has kicked herself bald. Ive never handled her, am careful not disturb her unnecessarily, (other than occasionally picking out boluses, and water) Not once have I seen her kick hairs yet over the course of the last year she's got a very bald...

Still in the market for a female adult or sub adult B smithi
