Very cool looking hog girl. Do you already have a male that you're planning to breed?

I do. But I don't know if he'll be big enough this year. He is an '05 that has eaten very well. What is your opinion on the size of males before they will start to breed? That was going to be my next post. Thanks.

Is it? How do you tell the difference? I did notice that the markings were different from by western but just chalked it up to being variable within the ssame species. You most likely know more about them than I do since she is only the secong hog I have purchased. Thanks.

She's looking good Ralph. I sent you an email. I'm pretty sure I know who you got her from at the show.

thanks, I got your email. Is he the one that had the table backed up to the same space with outback reptiles ( Ian G. he's the one with all the top end ball python morphs)?

Are you the one I purchased this gril from at the Richmond, VA show? I believe you were backed up to Outback Reptiles (Ian G.) If so thanks for a great hog, I also forgot who you got her from as well, I believe you said from "Robert" or "Randy" out of California (also posts on this site)? I just want to know for my own records for when I breed her. Thanks.

If he got the snake from Randy in CA then he got it from Renegade Reptiles. I believe they're on the list of herp breeders and sellers on the homepage of this site. Drop them an e-mail or check out their site. They always have great snakes, and I've never met anyone that's bought from them that has any complaints.
On breeding your '05 male, I'd brumate this winter, but wait til next year, just because I'm inexperienced. I have an '05 W. male and he's a pretty big boy, but I'm still gonna hold off til '08. People w/ more experience might say go ahead and breed him, however.
