I've had 4 California king females hook up and 3 thayeri females hook up so far (2 separate times each). I'm still waiting for a number of my girls to shed. I'll see if I can get some photos next time.

This green male was a virgin and he hooked up right away with my copper female. Although I witnessed 2 insertions on different days, I didn't get a good picture.
The olive green female hasn't shed yet, but I put the green male in with her today for awhile to see how they like each other. Looking good so far...I didn't witness a mating, but she wasn't flicking him off either.

Maria - those are beautiful breeders. I love them all, but especially the olive green female. Thanks for sharing the photos!
Tom
Thanks Tom!
That olive green thayeri is my favorite female. I am admittedly partial to green thayeri and I love bow-ties but despite that fact, she one of the most gentle snakes in my collection. She has never displayed even the slightest hint of nervousness or apprehension. She's is just plain old sweet..no other way to put it!
This is her first year and she's nice and big...about 300 grams...so, i'm hoping for the best. This is a very exciting time of year

She reminds me of an ole olive female I had. She threw 13 fertile eggs every year. I can't wait to see what they produce....Congrats.

Thanks, John. My fingers are crossed!

Me, too, thanks That copper female has really nice weight this year, so hopefully she'll throw a bigger clutch this time.

Well, my olive female still hasn't shed (or even entered pre-shed), but she raised her tail within 10 min of intro today. She'll one easy going girl

Maria,
I really love the green leonis, it is a toss up between the white or the green leonis.
Great photo's too.

NO........... usually by this time every year I would have taken my breeders out of the dark and turned on the heaters by now. I'm kinda bummed about it........ but I'm managing/coaching a little league team this year and thats got me busy.
Good luck to everyone on your projects this year.

I just started putting on all the lights in the room. This year I am working less so I am actually going to attempt to breed all my females. I usually hold off on a few because of time but I'm going full bore and I picked up a few more so I have my fingers crossed.

i'm not over weight i'm under tall
When will you start putting them together? Share some pic's of the pairs when you get a chance.

I'm expecting eggs from Miss Bianca within a week, and eggs from Leeloo in about 10 or so days. My Cal Kings have been breeding off and on, but I can't tell if she is gravid yet. My Pueblans have been showing interest, but I haven't actually witnessed any mating. Although I never witnessed ANY interest with my Thayeri, yet I've got two VERY gravid girls! I sure hope their eggs are fertile. 
Oh, and my gecko just laid her eggs today. Yipee!!!
Good luck with your pairings this year!

Aubrey Ross
Congratulations! Good luck with those eggs, Aubrey.

John Lassiter
Thanks John! I sure hope you are right!

Maria
"Life is like a box of thayeri eggs..."
Thanks Maria... I definetley will get some pictures when they lay!

Aubrey Ross
Aubrey, they look fantastic and like they are about to bust. beautiful animals and I wish you all the best. I really love that white one, can't wait to see those babies. Just wait and try to decide who goes that is the tough one...lol

Thanks Michelle! I know, it will be hard to let go of most of the babies, especially from my Whites. I am going to try and limit myself to only holding back a pair, unless of course something really crazy pops out too. lol. 
Miss Bianca is getting restless, and is cruising in and out of her nest box. Hopefully she will drop those eggs soon!

Aubrey Ross
Im only trying for one thayeri pairing this season. The female is the olive (Russ Bates stock) and the male is the light green (Bob Hanson stock). Hoping for some nice greens:

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
That male is outstanding! And the female looks much like my Russ Bates girl, Miss Bianca. 
Good luck!
-----
Aubrey Ross
Thank you Aubrey. Still crossing my fingers on one of your pairings too.
-----

Craig, that is a beautiful pair. You should throw some awesome babies with those. I like the light lime green leonis.
Good luck to you, I promise you won't be disappointed the only problem with your first clutch is you will want to keep them all.
