Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I wanted to share a couple of old photos of one of THE very first aberrant temporalis (NJ stock) that stemmed from w/c specimens circa early-mid 80's.....ya don't know what ya got til it's gone, and luckily some specimens are coming back hthis way.

Nice animal.....

...to date my female laid 4 clutches....first year no male was introduced, she still laid 9 and 8 eggs....last year ...2010...she laid I think 13 or 15 and 9......of this the first clutch I screwed up with container size I think...and the second I hatched 8 or 9 I think.....of the 8 or 9 I got 7 to eat
...maybe 6....they ate ....not all ate well...but ate....of those....none lived....why I do not know....
hopefully this year I hatch them slower and cooler and we go from there....I am not keeping any of them...so feel free to email me....LOL.....they will hopefully come out a little bigger this year......

have a happy weekend and new year!...

Hey there buddy....want bigger babies? Incubate the eggs at slightly lower temps, like 76 or 77F. You'll see a difference for sure.

Hey Douggy Fresh, indeed.....and it's a done deal....well, it's actually a buddy of mine who is......I'm just kinda helping pimp 'em a little. But that photo is actually THE ORIGINAL aberrant temporalis that started them all. I should've clarified that in my original post. The only thing I can claim "mine" with respect to triangulum are the Blody campbelli that I re-claimed which were once my breeders a decade ago. No false advertising here or displaying snakes that aren't mine or culled in the name of science. LOL.

Yeah, I assumed that was what you meant anyway, and that animal was indeed the original aberrant/striped temporalis that began the line in the hobby. Very cool for sure!

Yeah, I remember your pics of those Dave Blody campbelli you sent me a long time ago, and yes!, those were definitely top-notch wide-ringed sockheads!

Look forward to seeing some of those guys being produced by you later on.
