WHAT A WEEK.. ..NOW BLONDE T ALBINO!

raptor1 Jun 22, 2008 05:21 AM

What a week it has been!
It has been far beyond my expectations.
First my Huge pastel female, gave birth to 60 ! a great litter of 25 Pastel Motleys.!

Then, my Zig Zag, possible het T Blonde Albino gave birth yesterday!

I bought a pair of Boas from Marc Norrie, back in 2005. I bought them as Zig Zag Boas.
This line originated in Poland.

Marc noticed in this litter there were some different, they were confirmed as Blonde T albino.

So This was a really anxious time for me, putting what I believe was 2 66% hets together, if they did breed, and were successful, they may only produce Zig Zag boas, thus telling me one of them was not a het – if so which one.!

So ..on the breeding, I never actually saw any copulation, in fact there was not that great deal of breeding. She was due – going by her POS date tomorrow 22/6/2008, so she was a day early, but in all honesty I all ready decided she was not gravid by the size of her., in fact a gave her a small meal the day before.

The stats are; - 10 live none dead, 8 slugs, 4 definite, T Blonde Albinos, and 6 hets (two of which I am still unsure of – have to wait till they slough)

Can’t wait to see if Peter Rice proves his T Blonde Albino out, this female has been put to a Sharp……. Paradigms?????

Here are a few pics

Hope you like them

Congratulations on another great litter, what a week indeed!

Looks like there are some great looking Boas in that litter & some nice zig zag tails. I am really chuffed to see they both proved out for you.

Well done!
