Nice! Glad to see its still nice and yellow. Mine is staying the same too. Are you breeding that one this year? Ive put the one i got with a few different females but he hasnt locked up yet.

shes about 600-800 grams at best... maybe next year. the orange snake thats in shed was 950 grams (empty)last time i weighed her so i think thats next years group. The male is het pied so anything that comes out will look normal and be possble het so if i produce something cool in clutch one thats a hint..and if i produce a really nice combo later thats nice too. I really dont want to get my hopes up but if any of the babies has her pattern or spot nose i cant complain. I had bad luck with the weigh in this season alot of my older snakes went on strike this season nothing exceeded 1400-1500 grams and thats empty...the heaviest and only real border line female is my het pied i cant risk breeding her at minimum weight. At this rate my hatchlings i was raising up from 05 are closing in on weight faster than the subadults i bought last year...dont you hate when that happens ? lol

I feel your pain! Out of 40 females maybe 20 or 25 are ready this year. No more WC females here, i have about 40 2006 CH and they eat every time, cold, hot, night, day, doesnt matter! Love it...

yeah no breeding for me this season. The only ones ready are males lol. I never was much on WC but my observation is its so much easier to raise something from hatchling to adult than to be lazy and buy an adult or subadult that will strike on you. Even farmed babies do generally well
