Can't wait to see what these look like when the're all out, because the parent's were both exceptional looking.

Nice shot. That one there looks like it will be nice!

DMong Oct 10, 2009 07:46 PM

Thanks Joe!,...I'm hoping so too. I'm sure they won't be the crappiest ever seen anyway..LOL!

Nice as usual Doug. Got pics of the proud parents?

I don't have any real recent ones, but here are a couple pics of them from a good while back.

Here's the mother as a yearling. I really like her super wide 50/50 bands. She's a Marc Bailey animal.

The sire as a yearling also. Mike Falcon said he was pretty sure his father was an extreme hypo, so that is a definite plus too. As a hatchling, his inner rings were snow white!

Wow! Those are some screamers. Great lineage to boot. Those hatchlings should be awsome.

Thanks Chris!,....glad you like those as well.

I would hope these are some really sweet ones too, so we shall see what happens.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Thanks bro!,....around 90 colubrids, which ain't many compared to some breeders, but it is plenty for me to keep up with..LOL!

I could have easily produced more, but some of the stuff I need to sell from the collection as it really isn't needed in any future projects, and didn't really need the extra mouths to feed either.

I'm "pretty" sure the female boa is gravid too. I lifted her straight up from her neck area the other day, and she looks a little too bulged just after mid-body for it to have been the small rat she ate last week. Also, she looks to have remained darker after she just shed today as well, which is another very good sign.

That was her last meal, and it's not real wise to feed her much beyond this point until she dumps.

take care, ~Doug

Come on Doug, let's see some real photos of those ghosts. The photo you've posted is fine but let's see a little more color then the white faced racoon of a honduran pipping. Color man, color.
Nice job (again) btw.

DMong Oct 12, 2009 02:35 PM

LOL!!!, I hear ya Dell, but if it's bright colors you want to see, these ghosts ain't gonna flip your wig..LOL!

Any photo's will basically look black & white with the exception of a small amount of grayish/pink tone.

But yes, I'll get more full-body shots when they're all out together.

BTW, thanks for the kind words on the "black & white" photo I posted..LOL!
