Snakes at the B8tes Motel

RussBates Apr 09, 2009 05:53 PM

Thought I would post a few pics of some of the snakes taking up residence at my snake room this year:



First time hatching Balls. Pretty cool process and much more difficult than the kings.

Nice! Cool thayeri. What kind of Florida king is that? I've seen a few that looked like that.

HAHA you have hondos!! I only have about 20 left thank god for that!

What is up with those BPs? Those have some funky patterns, what do the parents look like? Oh yeah, I am almost out of BPs as well. Love them as morphs but as far as being a snake goes they went out the door.

the brooks is a Ricks line axanthic. Yeah I only have 4 hondos and don't inted to add anymore. I always loved the really nice hypos so I got some a few years back. This pair throws nice VP hypos. The ball adults were normal to mojave.

I think you have something hidden in that pair of BPs. The patterns are just really wacky on a couple.

what's keeping you from having pythons?

City ordinance in Corpus Christi has been in place since the late 70's. prohibits constrictors over 6' in length, and all boa and python species.

Pretty good John, long time no hear! Walt and Wilma are done, Walt and Mildred are going through round two, I will wait for next year to put the other two girls into the mix. Splendidas, specks, the striped meahlly to the striped meahlly female, Mex. bairdi, a pair of bulls and a pair of gophers, a pair of cal kings. I think that's it, lol!

Hey Russ, nice animals. I see you kept at least a pair of thayeri, including a nice YELLOW one. The thayeri I got from you are growing nicely and have turned into handsome juveniles. Take care, man. -- Tom

RussBates Apr 10, 2009 12:23 PM

oh boy that one is a looker. What does the yellow one look like now? I kept back 1.2 thayeri...just couldn't let go

The yellow male is looking nice as you can see -- some speckling but not too much . . .

waspinator421 Apr 12, 2009 11:04 PM

Nice Russ! Those BPs look pretty cool too.
