getting a call at work from a very close friend of mine at 8 am this morning when I was at work. His name is Jim Alexander and he moved to Alabama from NJ several years back. This is one of the people who gave me a ball that wouldn't eat and I returned it to him eating, was wild caught in the 90's. Same guy who gave me the pine snakes when he moved, then I bred them, sent him 1.2, then he bred them and recently gave me 1.1 of the offspring. Like a brother type of friend. He was recently here visiting and took those pictures for me that I recently posted. So when he left my house to head back home to Alabama, I gave him this, he wanted it...

So I answer the phone and hear...WHAT DO I DO ?

About what I ask?

ABOUT THIS.....




Well we had a conversation because this was his first litter of any kind of boa and after chatting it turned into this...




and here is mama after she was done.

Totals :

3 pills
0 stillborn
18 live

was "special" he called me for advice, good for my ego!!!

He then said how many you want.

I said, hummm, reverse trio, will work.

So I will have 2.1 on the way soon.

Also his female Argentine looks to be gravid. ( pure Argentinean ) I will be getting some of those also.

YES FOR FREE.

But he also always gets what he wants from me as well.

Price is never an object.

After all, I only have a few "true" friends!!

And I love them like brothers.

Good fathers day!!

Later all!!!

Happy Father's Day where applicable!!!

So what you are saying is the short tail and the BCI bred together to get him that clutch?? that would explain the light colored tails (i think.. )

J/K - Nice clutch of boas!! There are some awesome tails in there!! But you are right, it is even nicer to have friends that care more about putting smiles on faces then making a buck..

I myself only have 3 friends like that. No matter what I breed, it doesn't matter either. I do not have many high end snakes, but the few I do have, they still get choice and yes for free. EVERYONE ELSE PAYS!!!!! Even relatives pay, I will give them a break.

Exactly the circles on the back of the dorsal pattern. KS had me on timeout for a week so I was unable to post but now I am back and it feels good to talk to the people I like the most Frank and Dave lol fellas. It sucked baaaaaaaad but no one can hold me down though so I went to church this morning and celebrated Father's Day aka "God's Day" and hopefully I will get my son later this evening to make this day complete but what you gonna do to his mom besides take her to court and win huh? she's a baaaaaad individual but I'm working on her
