New Monsters

Ok, it took a LONG time to track down the elusive 'Monster Bulls' but i finnally did, i aquired a young breeding pair from a friend of mine, and i figure i will go ahead and show you what the male looks like. This bloodline gets 8' he is 30 months old or so, still got a lot more breeding years left. The female isnt as pretty as he is and i will be looking for a much better looking female in the future. This will be a VERY long term project, the fruits of which will take years to produce correctly, i will be attempting to create a gorgious animal like this male, but through selective breeding get them as HUGE as humanly possible....a 10' bull line.

One thing i have noticed, is that he is very docile, in this picture he has a medium/large rat in him. doesnt hiss or bite, a joy to handle. Yes, i know he has some stuck shed on him, but thats how i got him. Wasnt kept in the best conditions because "hes just a bull" before my friend got ahold of him and sent him my way.

Another one,

This girl bred with him this year, and popped out a ton of eggs, babies came out with lots of spirit, and very large. they took after daddy, as mommy isnt all that good looking.

Thanks for looking,all

Giant bullsnakes are pretty cool. Shannon out in CA has been working on the same idea, I think. I don't know if he still has them, but one that "coach" caught a few years ago on Juno Road was massive. It almost filled a five-gallon bucket.
Shannon, pipe up here. I've been wondering about those things.
