Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi everyone I want to introduce myself, my name Rick Douglas. Some of you already know me from purchases that I have made over the past two years. I've been so excited lately with all the babies born in the last 3 weeks. It was so cool watching Mom wonder all around her albino babies. There were 26 healthy babies, 13 albinos and 13 hets. The other litter was normals which are also pictured. There were 32 babies in that litter with two slugs. Hope everyone is well and thanks for looking.

Now you get to enjoy watching them grow and all of the interesting behavior that began with the mother at the birth of the babies and as the babies grow. You will find one of the hardest parts is deciding which animals you have to keep or are willing to sell. Welcome to the world of boa breeding; you are off to a very good start.

Thanks Joel.

That is an awesome way to begin your boa breeding adventures. Discovering a healthy litter is always a great way to make your day just a little better. Also watching momma watch over her litter after birth is always very cool to observe. How was she when you pulled her out of the cage? Hope she didn't put up too much of a fight.

Those albinos look sweet, as do the hets and normals from the other litter. Good luck deciding which ones to holdback. Those decisions are always the hardest ones I've had to make when I'm lucky enough to have boa babies over here.

Again, great looking kids. Can't wait to see some pics after they've shed.

All the best,

Jay

Thanks Jay. I will definitley be posting picture after they shed. As far as the temperament of the mothers goes, Roxanne the female of the normal litter was very nice and calm, on the other hand Arial the het albino was a beast. My girl friend had to distract her at one end of the cage while I took pictures at the other end. But it was a very cool experience. Thanks again.

Those are some very nice albinos!!!! Congrats on all the babies!!!

Thanks Andy. The albinos may be getting there good looks from the Father Sundance who is a Coral Stripline Albino that I aquired from Rick Kelley at the Chicago Reptile House or Indian Reptile House. Thanks for looking.

The babies look wonderful. 13 albinos.....................Very nice!

Thanks John. I hope this comming year is even better. Hey bud I was in my backyard over the weekend and took picture Rana. She is from your 04 anery pastel litter. I purchased he from Ryan at Topnotch boas earlier this year and she is an awesome snake. I will post her picture soon.

......great looking kids. Lots of healthy babies is a super way to start.

Thanks Gray. How is the possible Jungle M8 male doing from your Red Group litter? I will Talk to you soon.

Welcome to the world of Boa Breeding good luck with those babies and enjoy them for a while thats what is fun about babies. I keep them and raise them for a while and then when its almost time for more babies sell the ones that I want to sell and keep the ones I want to keep! Good Luck!!!

Hi Al thanks for the welcome. Very nice picture of the breeding pair. As far as cages go, I'm not sure how many more I can fit in the house. I currently have two rooms dedicated and I can see the third being occupied soon. I started the boa collection about 3 year ago and it has grown to about 45 and that doesn't include the babies but it alot of fun. I am just lucky to have a girl friend that helps me out alot and loves them as much as I do. Thanks again.

Thanks. I appreciate the warm welcome.

has picked up a considerable amounts of my red groups so he should have some KILLER stuff coming up this season.

Thanks Alex how are you? Definitely one female redgroup and possibly two will be ready to breed this comming year. Thanks for responding. By the way I saw your post earlier today and that was an awesome pastel that you got from second alarm. Talk to you soon.

Way to hit the odds, and produce healthy animals without missing eyes, or other problems associated with albino breedings which some seem to never mention. Glad you had a good time watching momma snake tend to her children. Breeding is the most rewarding part of boa constrictors (forget the money, unless it is to buy other amazing animals).

Hi Trey thanks. Are you related to Andie and if so then you should recognize the female in the picture with the albino babies. I purchased her from Andie in August of 05. Tell her thanks if you see her. I named the female Arial and she is a great feeded and now a proven het which I am very happy about. Talk to you soon thanks again.

Sorry, no I'm not related to andy. My dad is AJ Schneller and our herp name in the market is schneller Reptiles. Congrats again on the litter and good luck in the future. Trey

Nice Litter

Hi Michael what's going on bud? Yes I am very happy about the litter but you as well with that awesome jungle litter you had not to long ago. Jungles are my favorite and like I told you before I will have a couple soon. Stay safe and take care.

Thanks,

You will never tire of seeing those brand new little "worms".

Thanks Robert. I have seen many of the animals you have posted in the past and you have some very nice stuff. Good luck in the future. I can only hope to be as lucky next year. Thanks again.
