Only 11 More Days Until Christmas

fgs Mar 12, 2009 05:08 PM

I can't believe this litter is almost due.
My female motley het albino bred to my albino motley is due on March 23.
I have spent many hours just sitting in my snake room staring at this female with disbelief of what she might produce.
About three years ago I sold my BMW Z-3 Roadster to purchase the albino motley. My wife and family thought I was out of my ever loving mind when they heard what I had done.
But I had a dream and now that dream is just about to come true.

The first photo is of the pair getting to know each other, the second photo was taken of the female two days ago during one of sessions together.


I hope everyone is having a great season.

Unfortunately my office makes it so that I can't see many images posted here on these forums, but just the title of your post was super exciting!

I added a reminder on my phone...I will count down with you buddy!!

I haven't seen a Roadster as nice as an Albino Super Motley!
Best of luck.

Kyle:

My Z-3 was my dream car.

I just thought why not trade one dream for another.

Best of luck to you bud.

It was a tough decision, but I had a plan. Once I had the albino motley in my hands I never looked back.

Here is a photo of the Z-3.

Best of luck with your season.

Sweet Brian. I know the wait is tough, but just keep telling yourself "the longer the better". It's great to see this finally paying off for you. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Boa's can't read, nor can they tell time or count days (or count anything for that matter). It's almost a given she is NOT gonna give you your "Christmas presents" on "Christmas day"!!

That said, WOW, this is gonna be one awesome litter. I sincerely hope you can return the "Luna experience" if ya know what I mean!!!!!

Put me on that list for sure!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see them babies!!!

Brian..I truly feel your excitment..sitting in the reptile room is the great part of the "deal" we have with our animals.
Bmw's are cool also...

I was watching her this morning and I thought I could see some movement in her, or was I just imagining it. Oh heck I don't know.

I hope you have the best breeding season ever......

Thanks so much for the well wishes. You are so right about being on pins and needles.

I would say except for my children being born this is probably going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

I hope you and Jesse are doing well

When you get your albino supers you can get back in to a BMW....might I recommend an E46 M3 ;O)

To tell you the truth when I sold my Z-3 my plan was to eventually get back into another one after the dream litter had dropped.

I really do miss putting the top down and experiencing the wind blowing through my hair, Oh wait a minute I don't have any hair LOL......

Best of luck with your Geckos

Brian Gundy

www.for-goodness-snakes.com

giantkeeper Mar 13, 2009 07:39 PM

Shoot for a Z3M or Z4M, as you most definately will never look back!

As far as the geckos go, they are easy! I'll apply the good luck wishes to the possible/pending blood boa litter and albino blood python clutch ;O)

Can't wait to see those gooey little Mot's of yours!
