Hoopy Aug 04, 2003 11:29 AM

1.0 Albino ball python (EARLY 2002)
0.2 100% Het albino balls (2002)
.3 50% Adult Het albino balls (1999)
.2 normal adult balls (2000)
1.0 Mojave ball python (2003, Most prized piece of collection)
1.2 100% Het. piebald ball pythons (2002)

I also have:
1.0 Anery 100% Het Albino (Kahl Strain) Boa (early 2002)
0.2 Albino Boas (Kahl Strain) 100% Het. Anery (early 2002)
1.1 Breeding pair of Hogg Island boas (1999)

My wish list includes Orange Ghost, Spider, Clown, and Pinstripe if the price ever comes way down.

Anyways, I would be interested to see what everyone else has and wants.

Regards,

HOOPY

Sounds like you have an excellent collection! I have only been keeping snakes with my boyfriend for a year now, but so far we have:

1.1 100% het butterscotch ghost (2003)
1.1 100% het yellow ghost (2003)
2.0 tiger/banded (one 2003, one DOB unknown, but a big adult male)
1.1 normal adults

1.0 Barneck Scrub (2003)

1.2 Brazilian rainbow boas (1.1 very red, 0.1 high orange)
1.1 Hogg Island boas (1.0 2003, 0.1 2002)

We're hoping to breed our rainbows and our adult tiger male this coming season.

Future acquisitions (this is long-term )
Pastel Jungles (Graziani - hypo pastels, here I come!)
Axanthics (VPI)
Faded Albinos (NERD is the only breeder that I have seen with faded albinos - correct me if I'm wrong)
And it wouldn't be too bad to have a Lesser Platinum or a Mojave!

Yeah, we dream big - but I figure when I get out of law school, this may be very realistic!

I have a small collection seeing as I live with 2 other people, one of which is not fond of snakes, but puts up with mine and my other roomie's--her boyfriend's--burmese outside.

My collection:

1.1 normal ball pythons
1.0 (I think that's right for MALE) Albino kingsnake

I would love to have a spider ball, I think they are one of the coolest patterned ones, next to the pied of course!

Perhaps I will make an addition or 2 to my collection from Daytona.
