Albino Leopards!!!

combs reptiles May 30, 2008 10:10 AM

Thats what I was expecting anyhow LOL!!Normal healthy babies....I was excited about this litter...thought I might get lucky...well the parents were "100% guranteed DH albino leopards".....
they were suppose to be...but 8k later and more normal babies.
They are some cuties..but not what I was expecting.

What a relief to see the litter on ground. The waiting game is a killer!
Hope to have some better luck with my next litter.
Still love them boa babies!

Thanks
Mike

I know I got taken. A friend of mine had a pair and he had 25 normals last year and probally more this year.
Thats part of the program..win some lose some!
In spite of the fact I got ripped and these are not what I paid for or wanted... I love them anyhow.
They will be taken care of as if they were what I had expected.
Its a lesson to be learned...either really know and trust who you buy hets from or make them yourself.
Thats kinda the point of posting this anyway..to show you may not always get what you wanted or expected but love em anyway!

Its 11 now by the way she threw one more at me after I moved her.
Heres a cool looking baby.

Thanks
Mike

I have some other leopard stuff also.
But for this year not much. My 00' sharp albino female may give me some babies..we shall see. Bred her to a cool looking jungle male I got from Pete @ daytona last year.
These were the German boas. I really dont know what they are now, I am not a big locale guy. Im sure some in here could identify the parents , maybe.

Thanks
Mike
heres a pic of mom..maybe someone can say what she looks like as far as locale goes.

She looks way to columbian to be a het leopard. I'm sure thats were the so called albino line came from, but there isn't alot of central influence in that animal. Either way sorry and congrats. This is just my opin. not intended to piss anyone off.
