Breeding update...

Jonathan_Brady Jun 18, 2007 09:51 AM

So I started w/ Rose and a couple of guys back last year and on Feb 28th I saw she was swollen...

She shed on 3/31 putting 105 days at 7/15 (if she decides to listen to the generally accepted theory regarding POS and delivery date - I'm guessing she won't)

Then last Sunday I thought she couldn't get any more swollen than this...

And today she's even MORE swollen, and she's beginning to lean

They can't split open, can they?? :- I feel so bad for her and she's got at least another month to go. And her colors are as ugly as they can be.

Fingers crossed...

This is the female (picture taken 3 years ago, 2 days after a meal). She was born in captivity to a WC female captured gravid.

Her, at her best (in dark phase)

Lighter phase, overexposed pic in the sun

And now for the potential suitors

This one was also born in captivity from a gravid imported female from Guyana. He and his siblings all exhibited the same head stripe, ladder tail, and striping/aberrant saddles. He is the prime suspect in this breeding

possible suitor number 2 was a WC from Guyana as well. This picture is quite old as I do not have any recent pics worthy of showing.

This pic is also old, but only about a year old

He has GREAT coloration as well as nice thick, rounded peak saddles and a great tail. At his best, he's a nice light brown up top w/ SUPER dark chocolate contrasting saddles, and an amazing purple laterally with INTENSE dark purple side badges.

And finally, the last suspect who I just threw in to promote breeding activity but will be the male I try alone in the future.
Yet another animal born in captivity to a WC gravid imported female. He's from the same area of Guyana as Rose.

This picture is quite old. Almost 2 years old actually.
This is him a year ago...

He is my favorite male by far. SUCH soft colors.

I like peruvians more but when I see pics of a surinam girl with pink on her sides like that, I'm becoming a believer. Thanks for sharing and she is beautiful.

Should I give each girl two rodentpro large rats a week then instead of one? I was thinking it might be a good idea. Since both are 04s and maybe weigh 10-12 pounds.Should my 05 ghost be fed 2 a week also? She grows alot quicker then my 2 double het for snows and is close there size right now. Both the males eat once a week do I need to cut back with them or leave them the same? I go with rodentpro large rats. Its alot cheaper then the pet store. My male is six feet and has nice speckling and girth. The albino male is a unknown age and is six feet and skinny but good tone to him....
