Thanks Kelly! I will definently be taking good records of anything produced this year. The two female greens I'm breeding this year are both around 6 years old, one is a little over 9', the other is a little over 10'. Definently smaller for their age, but still eat like there is no tomorrow! I'm cycling two males through the females, but I have only noticed one of them showing any interest, he is 4 years, around 8'-9' as well. The other is only 3 years, and much smaller.



As for the histories, those are actually the two females that are breeding this season. They were purchased as captive bred (which you never know sometimes), as for the origins, I'm not sure, I'll send an email and see if I can get some more background information for you!



I'm hoping that Marble takes as well Mike! Her feeding response shut off for awhile, kicked on for awhile, and is currently slowing down. The same goes for the other Yellows I'm breeding, once the cycling started and males started cycling through, their feeding kicked off. Over the last couple months, it has kicked back on. Everything is still being cycled and males are still working the females like there is no tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes!



Thanks,

"Ben, great breeding shots you took. It looks like you have a pretty good chance of producing several litters this year. I would also be interested in the stats of the young on any greens that you produce this year. What are the sizes and ages of the female greens that are breeding for you this year? Also, those headshot photos you posted a few weeks back were excellent, and you have one of the most diverse groups of greens I have seen. I was particularly interested in the greens shown in the 3rd and 6th photos. They showed the ocular stripe colors that were more of the green background color typical of Amazon basin specimens. Most of the greens Jud and I work with are of this type. Do you know the histories on them by any chance?
