I deduced the following f...

I just picked up this male. His father hatched from one of the eggs in the previously pictured clutch. He was bred to an unrelated female so this grandch...

Anyone notice mussie can kill prey like large snakes with jaws alone? I saw one that killed a big viper just by crushing its head and twisting and did it in seconds. Lots of blood. IT did not use constriction or its venom.
I always wonder why do mussie have so many killing methods? THey have the ja...

these are from a female that was one of the original 11 imported by glades back in 2001, interestingly, while the sow has a nasty spinal deformity above her cloaca (apparently caused by too high an incubation T) none of 6 young thus far have exhibited any kinky tendencies :}
