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!!!
