Here's a couple of pairings that I have going so far. This season has started kinda slow for me around here.

Here's an 18 month old Pastel with an 04 normal. I saw penetration last night, and again tonight, but I didn't get the "money shot"

Here's dirty 'ol Bob with an 05 het from Big Mike (Mike's the best). This girl is normally very square, but within this last week, she's more of a cylinder. He's been relentless on her.

This pairing just started courting today, so we shall see if it developes. 04 normal (Apples) , and an 18 month old Salmon possible Jungle. He thinks that her cloaca is just past her neck, lol

Hopefully, I'll have a couple more pairs before its over, but this is it for now. Take care, and thanks for looking.

LOL! I like that last pic! He's so attractive, young and full of it, it appears he'd probably hit on anything that moves! Good luck with that pairing, I'm sure he'll get the hang of it! ;p
That albino, dirty bob?, is smokin'! You have some really nice critters!

How big your 18 month old males are. I have a male that is somewhere around that age, and is just over 3'. I'm considering breeding him, but have a larger male if it doesn't seem like he could get the job done. What are your experiences with young males?
Great looking animals btw!

They are also right around 3 ft. The Pastel male is leaving sperm tracks on the females back, and in constant courtship, while the little Salmon is just starting to show slight interest. This is the first year that I've had 18 month old males show interest.

Thanks! Maybe I'll give it a try and see if there is any interest. If not, I can always throw in the big guy. Keep us posted on what your results are!
Thanks again,
Chris

Hi there, I was wondering if you can tell me what the numbers mean at the bottom of peoples posts when they list their Boas and Pythons - 1.0, 0.1, 2.1, 0.2 etc
I've seen a few people do it and I'm wondering what its for? Thanks

The numbers represent how many and what sex the animals are. The first number is males, the second is female, and a third would be unsexed, or unknown.
For example, 5.3.3 would mean 5 males, 3 females, and 3 unknown. Or just 5.3 would mean 5 male and 3 female.
Hope this helps!

Wow!
That is very clever and makes a lot of sense. - Very quick way of saying how many males and females one has for whatever species and type of animal.
Thanks very much Chris.

Cheers

Hey Chris,
This is an 18 month old boa in the linked video. He misses in this vid, but has hit the spot many times. He is still working this girl right now. I do feed him every two weeks due to his size/age, but he is doing a great job and spending "plugs" besides.

That settles it! I'm definately going to let him have a try. It's early enough, I can swap him out if he doesn't get going in a few weeks.
Thanks for the snake porn!
