Love is in the air...

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)

2.2 Columbian common boas (Zeus, Athena, Aphodite, Hades)
1.1 Corn snakes (Appolo, Boreas)
0.1 King snake tri striped cal morph (Helios)

rainbowsrus Nov 16, 2007 01:15 PM

Yeah, that 2.2 is intended to produce two key female holdbacks:

motley het coral albino - eventually coral sunglow motley
Hypo Motley het Anery - eventually ghost and anery motleys

Anything beyond that will be serious gravy!!!!!

I only have two pairs together this season but they are both showing some "decent" activity levels (not great but decent). Lets just hope they time the action in such a way that both females take.

Looks like your going to have a full house of great offspring! Good Luck!
