Good stuff. I just picked up a adult female so if I can find a male that can handle her before next season I hope to see the same thing here. Just need to find someone with a extra male. LOL

More pics!!

Thanks guys! Between Derek Roddy and I, I'm sure you will see lots of BHP hatching and hatchling pics. I just wish they would all hurry and get out of the eggs!!

"I just wish they would all hurry and get out of the eggs!!"

I just wish they would all show up in my racks - Who knows, maybe by the time they are ready..

How long do they typically take to get started Tom? From what I understand, they are a bit of a slow starter yeah?

Tim, yea they can take a little while. Some people are lucky and they eat right away. Last year I had one female go six months before she was eating on her own. It can really try your patience. Most were eating on their own in three or four months though. They are great snakes though so its worth the extra work.

Now that's a sharp pic. Jealous here!

Thanks! The snakes are mine but I can't take credit for the picture. Celia from Exotics by Nature took the pic in Daytona 2006.

TimOsborne May 28, 2007 10:39 PM

The snakes are amazing.. and Celia is certainly a magician w/ the camera.. I have been a fan of both for a while.

Congrats Tom! I am anxiously looking forward to all the baby pictures coming. Will you be selling any?

Charlie, Thanks! I will post more pics once the shed out. I will probably be letting a few go but it won't be for a little while. I have another clutch in the incuabtor that is about three weeks away from hatching. Thanks again! Tom

Very good Tom. Looking forward to seeing lots of hatchy pics.
