vichris Apr 02, 2006 06:29 PM

and a couple more. The Greyband looks an awful lot like Steve Craigs. I got mine from Tim @ Vivid also. He's from a 2003 clutch.

The red in that whateveryawannacallit phase thayeri looks nice, don't see much in the way of dark tipping... how old is that one?

The blue-gray in that alterna is rock-solid... I'm lichen it a lot!

She's a 2003 snake. I had sold her to a friend a few years ago. She on breeding loan to me since last fall. She's big and healthy and should be ready to go soon.

I read your post below and hope all is well with you. I've been watching the weather in the midwest too. My sister and her family live in the Omaha Neb. area. Stay safe bro.

Here's three of the siblings to that red one.

That one was pretty darn close, on the ground and raisin' hell around here. Close enough to hammer my house with hail and high wind, but no obvious damage here. All seems well so far. We've had some fairly nasty twisters cut through here in years past but most of them just come close and shoot on by. Scary part is I'm on the southwest corner of town which is where they come in from. Always as safe as I can be though, thanks for the thoughts.

Now back to the fun stuff. All the milksnake phase from that clutch look really good. The light gray female looks awesome to me with her great red on light gray... great pattern and lots of rich red on that attractive light gray, your pic shows her off exceptionally well. Beautiful snake in my opinion! If she reproduces herself for you I just might be a customer for one of those. I've always liked the light gray milksnake phase like her with that nice red.

I'm takin orders. Do you want babies from the sharktooth side or the yellow keyholed Dan V. male side? LOL I'm just hoping she spits out some nice reds too.

Hey Chris...

Just popped on to see what was going on around here, saw your new post and this popped up. I was excited to see that female was ready and willing and them WHAM... she got hit from both sides! That's a very good girl.

I'll take one from the left, and one from the right. Seriously. Put me on the list. And hopefully one will be like Mom. Whichever way it goes, that is going to be one nice clutch.

That milksnake pair looks mighty good together, I honestly do like the looks of that female... a lot. It appears as though Sharky is a lefty, and a mighty healthy lefty at that. Great looking pair, looking forward to that clutch.

Keep me posted...

It was funny last night when I walked out to the sunroom ALL and I mean all of my male thayeri, graybands, and pyro even my little 2004 male thayeri had all of their bedding pushed back to the back of their boxes cause they were all trying to get out of their boxes. So I just started trying different females. When I saw that sharktooth was FINALLY acting interested I put him with a couple of the female suspects. As soon as I saw that redgirl was'nt whipping her tail (she's been the worst about that)I knew she was ready. Quite a fun night last night. I only have 2 females left that have not hooked up yet. Maybe tonight................

Must have been fun to watch and get involved with, all those males sensed the ready females and were fighting to get out and be the first on the scene. It was probably like the domino effect... the first male got excited and the rest figured it out and fell into place..... sniff sniff... mmmmmmmmmmmmm! The scent of a woman...

Good luck tonight fellow snake pimp! (That's what my lady calls me... lol!)

lol! Well I guess I would have to agree with your mate... I suppose if I were to share pics of me and Sweetie Pie all wound up like that, you could easily consider it pornographic.

Hey! Wanna see some family photos?!?!!!

Hey Chris,

i know you said you had a sister of my female MSP is that red one it? the color on her is much brighter than mine, but other than that it looks very similar? just curious.

I "had" her sister. She was a buckskin leonis that came from a guy named Rich Gassaway out of Flagstaff AZ. I actually had her brother too but traded him off back in 1999. Your snake is from 1998. The one I posted and her three other siblings are all from that buckskin leonis and a VR Male. I'll post some pics of her and two males she spent some time with last night.

Good to know Chris, thanks for the info. i figuered she was alittle younger than my male but they are right about the same age. Did you ever produce anything with her sister or brother? she is gearing up right now for breeding, i am guessing a few more weeks till a shed. last night she had a rat pup and a quail, and we just had some fresh rat pinks the other day, so soon she will be having some of those. but she is defiantly doing real well, i just hope something gets produced

Yes, the sister to your female was the buckskin leonis I refered to. I breed her to a Vivid Reptiles male. I produced 3 clutches from those two.

Here are some pictures of a few of the thayeri those 2 produced.
