Does anyone remember the Purple "P"? "P" is for Pastel. Does anyone remember this little gem? This little girl was acquired by Erich Gaertner, formerly of "Strictly Boas" fame. Erich's friend and Chicago Reptile dealer John Carlson was at Strictly Reptiles in Florida in 2002 and picked up two very interesting animals at that time. One is the Colombian Hypo that John found while going through a huge fresh shipment of imports. The other is the "Purple "P"".
She is obviously a really washed out Pastel but she was in fact a light lavender color as you baby. Hence the "Purple P" moniker. At six years of age, this is the first year I am trying to breed her. She is about 6' now. I wish I had a purple male to match but I do not. The next best thing is a really nice Pastel that I pried from Chris Canada Smith's hands a couple years ago. Here he is below:
I am hoping that the two of them together make the SAHWEEEETest litter of the most highly washed out Pastels I have ever seen. The dirty little secret is what I really want is this little fellow:
Though I have never made an offer of any type for the Phantom Boa, I remain obsessed with him! I must have some Boas that look like that. I am really hoping against hope, that something like that little fellow comes of this breeding.
She is gravid and in her Post Ovulation Shed cycle right now. I shot video of her while ovulating. She is extremely dark in the video and he is opaque too but it was fun nonetheless to get the footage as she was in the act of sending those ova down the pike to meet those lovely washed out little sperm that the CCS boy had hopefully loaded her up with.
