Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Here are some pics taken a few weeks ago of some of our hybrid multi hets, during an outdoor photoshoot specifically for getting good, natural light pictures for a hybrid book that is currently being published.

I hope you like them.

Let me know what you think of them. These are some of our personal 06 Cateater Hybrid holdbacks. This year we already have over a dozen clutches of different, never before produced cateater hybrids in the incubator, as well as some never before produced multi het bateaters. All are large clutches, some over 60 eggs, the smallest is 23 eggs. It's going to be a very good year for these amazing hybrids and I'll be posting many pictures of them in here.

Those are some very nice pythons indeed! looks like your having a banner year there Dave! Keep up the good work. Big Jim

Thanks Jim. Sure, it's a pretty good year. We were hoping more girls would go for us but this still isn't too bad. We had the usual number of girls "dud out" on us and unfortunately a dozen or so that just didn't "take" for us. But that's the way it goes. You can never expect all your females to go for you every year. You gotta take the bad with the good.

Thanks for the best wishes, etc. I'll be posting many pics of the babies when they hatch with each clutch. We still don't know what many of these will look like since we have some "never before" breedings/clutches. So far we have two clutches of 50/50 cateaters from breedings involving green patternless rock males to albino granite females. We also have clutches from albino green females bred to green patternless rock males. We are very excited about all of these as they hold so much limitless potential. Not only can they be bred to each other to produce an amazing smorgasbord of visible morphs, but they can be bred to albino granites to make first generation granite het albino cateaters 50% het for green patternless, albino granite cateaters 50% het for rock green patternless and so on. They can be bred with any albino burmese morph to make albino hybrid cateaters 100% het for labyrinth, for burmese green and always 50% het for rock green patternless/broad banded/and twin striped. They can also be bred with any rock green patternless morph to make world's first green patternless cateaters 50% het for albino and granite. Or twin striped cateaters. Or broad banded cateaters. It just goes on and on and on. These hold more outright potential than anything I have ever seen in snake morphs, let alone produced. It's just wonderfully mind boggling.

Love that term!~ haha and I bet my friends in Ozz would to! I got lucky with a pair of proven Womas I recently purchased about 6 weeks ago, the female dropped 11 eggs yesterday and 10 look real good so far. http://jelliott603.photosite.com/~photos/tn/9626242_1024.ts1175630895784.jpg Regards, Jim Elliott

Congratulations Jim, that's great when that happens. Email me when they hatch, would you?

HATE that term. Like Dave. HATE that term.

Hey! lol. I only named them that because it is easy to remember due to the already popular "bateaters". Heck, if and when we have the first surviving* rock/retic hybrids I will likely call them "Rateaters", just for laughs, lol.

[*The first rock/retic hybrids were actually successfully produced in 2006 by Moritz Von Zeddelmann ("Moe" on bc forums) but unfortunately they all expired in their eggs at full term age. One was an albino even though neither parent was albino.]

Awwww c'mon Dave you can do better than "rateaters." Gotta give it a name that'll make people just wanna buy it. It's all about marketing. I'm going to have a triple hybrid python for next year (fingers crossed.) NO IDEA what to call it.

Oohhhhhhh,... it's not only about selling them. It's really more about getting them well known and recognized.

For your triple hybrids you can always call them "Tribrids".

Oh,.. wait,. we already have the Tribrids. First produced them last year. Just got another large clutch that hatched 2 days ago actually. This is a well known triple hybrid line that has actually had catchy songs composed about them by renouned musicians/composers, they are so popular.

Well, I'm sure you'll come up with something for your triple hybrid line.

What species are mixed in with the "tribrids?" (and what morphs)

Ohh,... they're technically "intergrades" to be more accurate. They are 50% West Papuan/25% Jungle/and 25% Diamond Python. There are no known morph traits in them but a little line breeding may reveal something in there eventually.

ahh carpets. I don't really consider those true hybrids. It'll be a long project (if i can even find the extra snake to do this with) but I want to make a "Conglomerate Rock Python" A conglomeration of Indian, Burmese, Central African, and South African Rock python.

Ah yes,. the "Conglom-eater" I like it, lol.
