RESULTS OF VPI CARAMEL ALBINO X SHARP AL

Tracy Barker May 15, 2008 12:33 PM

Well this is a very important cross and for us the most eagerly awaited results from any of our boa projects, because it really answers a lot of questions that people have wanted to know the answer to! Lots of theoretical crosses and mixing and matching possibilities revolve around what relationship all of these colored snakes have to each other.

Now that those of you have interest in these projects have weighed in with your guesses, observations, etc. I can tell you that in the last 12 hours the female Sharp did indeed deliver her babies! So we thank goodness DO have the answer!!!!

And in the spirit of all reality shows, I'm going to wait to give the results until we take a break-and that break will be at half time during the Spurs game tonight!

So stay tuned, I will be back here on the forum at half time!

Tracy

Guy was the first one to call me and he tried his hardest to pry the answer out of me-but no dice!

I would tell you all right now, but I need Dave to do the photos!

(that really is the truth!)

Now the fact that I had to wait 4 years to raise each of these snakes from babies and 120 days not including breeding time for them to have babies in the last 12 hours and you have to wait a half a day does not get you a lot of sympathy!!

The boa waiting game is just one piece of the puzzle that makes this all so fun, having to withstand these endless waits are when you know you have fallen for this hobby hook line and sinker!!

Can you handle the mental insanity it takes to do these projects!!

Ok Tracy,

By telling you have to make pictures, I allready know the sharp and VPI caramels are compatible, producing anything like a paradigm. If it produced dh's, we would not need to see those grey puppies, right?

It is late in Holland, I will see them when I wake up

Greetings and Congrats from Holland...

Brilliant! I love that you are waiting to tell! That is fantastic! A great tease!!! I am very happy for you that you already had them. Once more, maybe you even poised the question when you already knew the answer! That has me more excited that to hear what you actually had born!

A Great mystery! I love the suspense almost as much as I dislike the suspense my own animals are putting me through! I admire your ability to hold back too! Everything about it great!

In my eyes Tracy... as a direct result of this toying with us. You are a giant! Fantastic!

By the way. I will further speculate that of course there is a new crazy morph at Tracy's place! Of course there is! If they just made double hets, she would have told us. Because we do not know already, and she is doing this to us now can only mean one thing...

BRAND NEW CRAZY SHARP VPI T-POS combo coming down the pike soon!!! I should be a detective.

When I read the first post I thought.... this sounds like something Jeff Ronne would do. Now I'm afraid he will make a habit out of it. Can't wait to see the outcome.

ajfreptiles May 15, 2008 03:27 PM

I suspect that that it was colonel Mustard....lol...

Seriously....

What if the reason for the Pink panthers in previous litters was the result of the Boa woman hypo in the mix all along? How about if a new twist were to create pink panther Paradigms?
Now that would be a real treat!

Just mere speculation....lol

Don't tell anybody yet. Just let us wait. Two years is a long time for some but for me, two years isn't that long at all. I vote: Don't tell!
