More of why the Monsters are my favorite

I posted a pic of this little fellow yesterday:

Here he was the day he was born:

Another shot the day he was born with one of his non-Hypo littermates:

I am not sure what to make of this litter but I am keeping them all for now. Fortunately there were only 17 babies in the litter...

His Daddy is a Monster Tail Hypo I produced here in 2000 and bred successfully for the first time this past year. His color looks a little off in this picture below but you can see his pattern that apparently is genetic being expressed in both Hypos and non-Hypos. Some really outrageous babies indeed. Approximately half the babies came out with aberrancies. Here is the Monster Tail Hypo Daddy:

Here is his Pastel Mommy when ovulating:

Here is his Monster Tail Hypo Aunt:

This is one of his Aunt's babies from last year:

His Grandma, the original "Monster Tail". She is the origin of the Monster Tail bloodline:

And here is one of his Swedish "Jungle" Bloodline Monster Tail Hypo cousins:

This is another cousin. This one a Pastel Monster Tail Hypo:

And finally another one of his brothers:

You really can't have to many Monster Tails. Know what I mean? It will be a while before we make a Monster Tail Hypo Paradigm as well but make one we will!

I love seeing different examples of a pedigree such as the monstertail. I love that jungle!

Thanks for posting Greg Reinert

if your boas had larger litters?? No one else can keep all their babies because they have to buy the cages from you to keep them in, lol. If you're running out of room, I'd be happy to alleviate the pressure!

Hey Jeff, how are you? We have never been introduced but I have seen a lot of your boas and the monster tail hypo’s are very impressive. I love the Grandma. Does she still look the same today? Your hard work has definitely paid off when you compare some of the regular monster tails hypos to the jungle, there doesn’t appear to be a whole lot of difference. Someday if I’m lucky I hope to have that bloodline in my collection. Take care and thanks for posting the very nice pictures.
