Jungles born 6/27/06, bittersweet ......

dyagi Jul 16, 2006 12:18 AM

When I got home from work on Tuesday around 5:00 p.m. I was suprised to see a litter of jungles. Just like Jeremy's post breeding boas can be very humbling experience, because a month before I was expecting a litter of leopards from a striped leopard X striped leopard and got 9 premature & 10 pills. The Jungle female het albino I got from Russ Lockenwitz and the male salmon het striped albino I produced. I never saw copulation since they stayed under the newspaper. I guess they were a shy couple. Anyway,a few months later he didn't show any interest, so I took him out gave he a power bar (aka medium rat) and put him back in a week later and still showed no interest. So back to his home he went. Goofy me I didn't think nothing of it when she had her POS and didn't take note of it.

So I didn't know what to expect from her.I must admit I did get a little excited when she went under the newspaper again and messed it up a couple of days before she dropped. That was the sweet part.

Now the bitter is my 82year old dad has been in a care home the last 4 months. On Monday night he was rushed to the hospital because his blood sugar had dropped and had a slight case pneumonia. On Wednesday my bother and I were asked by our family physician how aggressive to we treat my dad and if he's brain dead do we keep him alive. To say the least I couldn't even enjoy my surprise for the next few days. To make a long story short he's doing well and back at the care home. So now I feel I was blessed twice.

Sorry for bad pics. On yeah, 16 live, 2 pills and looked like 3 smashed by mom, 2 albinos and 1 jungle no wicked aberrancies.
2 jungle sunglows
1 jungle albino
4 jungle salmons poss het albino
6 jungles poss albino
1 albino poss jungle
2 normals poss albino
Now I know why Pete likes them; I have to look at them everyday.
No problem feeders. As I'm feeding mice fuzzies. Thanks for looking and hope everybody gets a suprise like I did.

Regards,
Derek Yagi

Better with age. I have some that will smoke most Sunglows. They have a lot of coral influence aswell.
Keep up the good work.
Life is like a Roller coaster.
Just like Jungles. You NEVER,NEVER know what your going to get.
Thats why I love them aswell.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. I am sure you are going through some rough times with that. I can understand why you can't fully enjoy the litter yet. My thoughts are with you.

Going to see my dad tonight and try to fatten him up with a pizza, even though he shouldn't eat it. Dr. said at this time just have him gain weight.

Derek

Awesome Snakes D Yagi, That should really lighten you up. I'm sorry to hear about your father. I'm sure that causes a lot of stress. It is good to have a nice stress reliever like that. That stinks about your Leopards. I had the same thing happen with one of my leopard females to a Sunglow a week ago.

Anyway, good to hear from you. Thanks for sharing.
