My BCI's are going at it already. Came home today to find several pairs at it.....

From Tuesday, Cinnamon (Hypo) and her mate this year Pepper, basically boas aby line just snuggling. No real action but wow was a cute photo opportunity.

Again on Tuesday, Taffy (DH sunglow) being courted by Dagwood (albino)

And Last one for Tuesday is Vanilla (Ghost) being wooed by Nestle (Pastel Motley)

Today I found this, such a cool sight!!! I had made a 2.2 colony including both of my 1.5 year old Pastel motley males (brothers) together with a Burke line coral albino female along with a ghost (pos super) female. Found each of the motley males working a different girl. WOOHOO!!

And also found two other pairs going at it...

Fireball (TH male) courting Crystal (DH female) maybe a moonglow getting started?

York (albino het snow) courting Tootsie (Anery het snow)

Cinnamon is due for some as big as she is 25% snows can you WTF!!!! awesome I just wish I had money for a female and the motleys just look at them. You thought they might not be up to the task I just hope they loaded up for action how big are they meaning length you think Dave if they are breeding 36-40 inches???
Bob

how come you didn't put Reeses' in with Cinnamon or is he going somewhere else? What is the most anticipated pairing that you posted-motley het coral and is that Ruby or Coral?

Reeses is in with Candy right now, no action now but saw some a week ago. didn't get a pic though!!

Hmmmm, most anticipated.....hmmmmmm, all of them!!!! LOL, a few come to mind higher in anticipation

motley x corla albino (Ruby - Burke line)

Snow project (actually have three....anery het snow x albino het snow, DH snow x TH moonglow and alb pos het snow x anery pos het snow)
Super salmon pos jungle x salmon pos jungle

Yeah, pinch me.....so much cool stuff going on and to opportunity for soooooo many cool babies and such a variety as well!!!!!

My motley boys are making me proud, now let's hope they "get er done"!!!

Yeah, let me pull one off his GF to see how long he is Yeah right. LOL!!!! Seriously, about the same size as their sister and she is.......going to measure her..... I'd put her at a good five feet and I think she's a bit bigger than the boys are. So the boys are an easy 4 to 5 feet.

Dave,

Congrats I hope they all produce many healthy babies.

My BCI is 15 years old this October! has only ever bite me once and that was my fault, great snakes! I would love to breed them as well but I am not a huge fan of feeding super large rats.. He is 9'7" hehe..

That is pretty big Jason. What has been your feeding schedule for him and how long have you had him cuz that is big lol. great story and it is great to hear that someone has an older boa and just doesn't dump him or her off cuz they won't make them money so congrats

Bob,

Thanks!! I have had him for 15 years now but when I purchased him the owner figured 2-3 years old so he is around 17-19 plus years old. My feeding schedule has been every 14 days in his older age, however typically I can tell when he is hungry sometimes it might be 7 days (rarely), he has gone without food for months at a time throughout his life. He typically isn't an aggressive feeder and for the longest time and even till this day he will only eat when I leave the room (he does this about 1 out of 3 feedings). His meal is a super large rat 600 plus grams. As you can see from his water bowl those are bricks to give you an idea of his size. I am a tall/big guy and he is allot to handle very strong and his water bowl takes FOREVER to clean/fill hehe..

In this photo he was hungry, I think I feed him that day and he smelled the rat thawing.
