I'm getting anxious....

Jlassiter Feb 01, 2010 10:00 PM

The kingsnakes have about 2 more weeks and I will start feeding and breeding......I have my fingers crossed for fertile eggs and a successful incubation.....I think this is going to be fun again guys......It's been 4 years since I have had a egg hatch over here and I REALLY miss it......

Here's a few pics of what I got going.....
I hope some of you like some of them.....LOL

Same here. I'm pulling all the thayeri out of the basement next weekend. The hognose and getula are already out and eating though.

BTW, when you post all those pics that really puts your 'situation' into perspective. LOL

The situation is you have a [bleep]load of breeders, my friend. If snakes were beers you'd have enough to get us both drunk. LOL

Kruse, you dog!! Where ya been hiding that flame sider?!! Super sweeeeeet.

JKruse Feb 02, 2010 01:02 PM

Hey Joe,

there's a few extra goodies that I either allow only some eyes to see, and others that I don't flaunt because it's a side-project with another close friend or two.

Just like you and I will be crossing cattle and owls eventually.......lol.....

I could see some flame sides in my future for sure. I shall pm ya on that brother. Oh, and feeling a little better. Thanks.

SDeFriez Feb 02, 2010 02:01 PM

Killer Jerry! Awesome multicincta. Nothing like a zonata to give me a rush!

JKruse Feb 02, 2010 02:22 PM

i know what you mean.....I like the high-black Sierras very very much. The contrast of the snow white, jet black, and slits of cherry red is incredible. Like living candy. I hope to have some babies that look like that little male i posted......symmetry at it's best!

That they are bro, symmetry at it's best! Then all zonata are, as we both know. The neonates from the parents should be intense!

I love those crossovers as well Jerry! Even a few of my Triangulum carry those awesome colors. Speaking of nice
crossovers, the Agalma is doing just fine!
Thanks,

Oh yeah, here's a few old pics of my Lincoln Co., Ks. high crossover
Gentilis.

Thanks Tony....
She is totally speckled except for her head pattern and some blotches on her tail.....Mark Bell line Mex Mex I got from Mike Murphy last year....
I am pairing her up with a nice granite male this year.....I hope they reproduce some of the same or better offspring.

Alright John, two more weeks till the fun starts! I think a lot of us here are getting anxious. Breeding snakes and hunting time is getting closer every day.

>>

MAINLY Thayeri, but a few Mex Mex, Ruthveni, Splendida, Floridana, Meahllmorum, Californiae & Alterna......
I kept many other snakes but never got to breed them prior to my hiatus......

Here's some older pics of my prior collection......I wish I had them still/again....
