Ok, so it's been a while..........

Brandon Osborne Jun 11, 2008 12:51 AM


The pair that originally gave me this beauty failed to produce last year.....


and this year has been very slow in getting started. Well I caught them in the act today. From over 40 hatchlings in four separate clutches, I have only produced 3 anerys from this pair. If they end up producing a good clutch, I am due for a jackpot. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Todd. He is definately one of my favorite kings....one of a kind. Hopefully this year, I'll have ten of a kind.

Thanks again.

Todd, that's the same snake. He is 3 years old now and still has not learned the fine art of breeding yet....but maybe he is with the wrong girls. Luckily I caught his original parents locked up yesterday. Thanks for the comments.

I've really enjoyed watching that snake 'grow' online... just a striking snake hands down! Good luck getting him to breed and moreso good luck w/ the original pairing. Sounds like you're due for something very nice indeed!

Thanks Zenny. You have some things cooking there, I'm sure are going to turn some heads. Hell, you've already done it with your hypolav. What's next?!

Thanks

well I can't broadcast the top secret projects but we may see at least one new morph (2x) within Floridana on the east coast this season... after I get confirmation I'll give more info.

I actually have a pretty long list of pairings that have not been done as yet... Florida kings have LOTS more potential!

one project I'm working on is a lighter ghost and I'm confident that I'll see at least one this season

the other project in the works (this season) we collaborated on soo I won't say anything here until I see snakes pip!

i have a few crosses i think will look super cool!

Goini X Eastern (100% het Amel T-)... cool bulls-eye spotted hets!

Lavender Goini x Brooksi (these are speckling like goini... they don't really look brooks-like)

i have a Goini x Brooksi cross poss het axan/anery from you... she's still mean as hell, but getting better

And my favorite cross: Blaze phase x Flame Hypo Brooksi (one of my females pictured in last post)

Thanks Dave. I'm hoping for anything at this point. My last couple of years have been pretty crappy.

I'm not sure I'll make it to Daytona again. If I can do it for under $600 I MIGHT go. I remember the good old days when I could do it for around $400 for the weekend. Cheap motels and cheaper gas. All my former Daytona treks cost me were spare change I threw in a jug. Oh yeah, I'll need to look for a place to stay too. lol.

I'll definately be in Chicago. That was a fun show too. I hope to see ya at one or the other.
