You've GOT to be kidding me... Tom, I'm going to have to build that extra building to house THOSE snakes!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!

Matt
p.s. - Are those Axanthic?!? They sure look like it...

Tom Keogan Jun 05, 2008 09:57 PM

Matt, Thanks! No these are from a "western pair" Some other clutches will be hatching out in about 22 days and if they make it that long I may get some Axanthics out of those! I have my fingers crossed but eggs have been tough on me this year! LOL I will post more pics once these ones shed out! Thanks Tom

Holy cow Tom! Great looking little snakes. Hopefully you'll be seeing some little brown pythons poking their heads out of their eggs this time next year

Thanks Guys!
Frank, the white lipps still have about another month to go and then I will hopefully be able to post pics of them!
Chance, he is settling in nicely and eating well! I hope he does help with next years fertility!

Awesome babies!! I have a beautiful pair of Westerns, but have only had luck one of the past 3 years in breeding them(nothing 3 yrs ago, 8 eggs 2 yrs ago, nothing last year, and slugs this year) They are so beautiful, real gems. Again, congratulations!Howie

Howie, yea bhp's can be tuff I only had 4 fertile clutches out of seven females that laid this year and I still am not sure how I am going to do on the other 3 clutches still to hatch! I have my fingers crossed though. The westerns were my first BHP's this year. Do you have pictures of your westerns? I would love to see them. Thanks Tom

Holy BUCKETS!! I want a pair of those so bad! Too bad I don't have a few grand just lying around.

Congrats on some fantastic looking babies! I hope you have some that look like that when I can get some of my own.

Thanks!

Aubrey, You don't have to worry as of now I don't think I am selling any of these this year! LOL But I do hope to have others hatching soon!

Jay, Congratulations! That's great and its a nice big clutch! Did you have any luck with that female IJ?

jaykis Jun 11, 2008 09:08 AM

Tom, no luck with that IJ I got from you. I'm going to double check the sex of the male I have. They were hidden a lot, and she was pretty fat, but nothing happened. Next year I'll give my primary IJ a break from breeding, as she's had 3 clutches in succeeding years. I'll breed my Carpondro again to see what weird babies I can get from her again, and my BH's should do something at 4 years of age. My Olives are my next project. I really should post a pic of that Amel carpet from the Carpondro. She's a slow grower, but stunning.
