FINALLY! After 5 long years of waiting and some bad personal mishaps, here they are!

The good thing is, I'm expecting 3 to HOPEFULLY 4 more litters of these and with any luck, they'll be larger litters!

This litter was a little early, so they had big bellies but not anymore.

This litter was produced using animals I produced in 09 and would've been a unrelated pairing if it hadn't been for my misfortunate event!

Long story short, I had a bad house fire in 2012 and unfortunately lost around 40% of my animals, of which were mostly new litters or yearling boas. On top of the personal belongings I lost, I also lost a lot of caging. Luckily and very thankfully, I was the only one home and no one was injured!

The day after the fire the city code enforcers informed me of a new ordinance put into effect 2 years prior to this happening.

They gave me a few option, which were:
1. move to the county 2. confiscate my animals and charge me to house and feed them. 3. fine me for each animal and take them all. 4. pay for a permit for each animal, every year and I wouldn't be guaranteed they'd grant me a permit..

Needless to say, I chose to move!

On top of this nightmare, my insurance is so far getting out of paying a large portion of my claim! Which doesn't involve any animal or cage losses, even though my agent at the time of signing was totally aware of all my Boas! I'd just be happy if they paid for all my other losses and not beat me for having the animals they knew I had!

Lesson here is, always get it in writing or have a separate policy for the animals...if at all even possible?

BOTTOM LINE IS, I have plenty of animals I need to start selling because I need the money badly, to help finish the house I had buy and the breeding facility I desperately need to finish, to get my animals moved into at out of the city, before the code enforcers get a wild hair up their butts!

If you made it through reading all this,

Thanks for your time!

Parents of this litter are pictured here, the dame is just right of the boa in the middle, that looks like its about to strike and the sire is right beside her on the top right

Here's the sister to the dame of this litter, which was pictured in John Berry's latest Boa Morph Book. Don't remember what page she's on but she's listed as picture by John Bergman Owned by Rich Ihle but produced by me.

I'm so happy for you man. I knew you would make those one day and they are just awesome. Best of luck with the project man. Mike Panichi

Thanks again Mike, appreciate the confidence boosting comments!

Hopefully I can make it all happen before the Winter months get here!

I guess all a person can do besides pray nowadays is, work work work! I'm sick of that amount of work though and ready for things to get more manageable...lol...instead of being so chaotic and uncertain!

How's your Blood Boa projects coming along?

Chaz Neely

I'm still with the bloods thanks for asking. Regrettably, I sold a few pieces last year when I was really hurt that I wish I never sold but other than that its all going well. Take care and I hope you post some updated shots now and then. The forum seems to be having some new life. Take care. Mike

Chaz,

Congrats on that amazing litter - and on top of all of the craziness and setbacks!! I had heard of you a few years ago when I purchased an Arab Sunglow het Anery girl from Dave Savickey you had produced ( was told it was one of the only two produced at that time) and always wondered what else you had going on! Now I know! Very awesome litter and great looking Boas all around!

Best of luck on the continued small successes! Those are definitely the ones that get you places! Really beautiful animals!

BTW, your Arab Sunglow girl still looks amazing and is one of my favorite Boas still!

First off, Thanks for the compliments James.....they're greatly appreciated!

Honestly, I still currently have a lot of cool projects in the works and despite the really rough past few years, I'm really only a couple years behind......but in this hobby......That's Like Dog Years! lol

Hopefully if theres no more set backs, (Fingers Crossed) I'll be back on track by next spring & will hopefully of produced some nice new visual morph combos & possibly some new to the market quad het Boa's but who knows.....

I'm glad to see that Arabesque again, her & Sunglow Arab brother were honestly my favorite 2 out that litter! She's looking great too! I still have her Sunglow Arabesque brother & he's breeding 1 of the 08 triple het Hypo Jungle I produced & proved out in 2012. Unfortunately that was 1 of the litters I lost in my house fire.

I got a really nice Moonglow Jungle-Besque & Moonglow Jungle, along with a couple Snows of each morph and a lot of other really awesome Jungle-Besques, including the nicest looking anery I've ever seen, which was a Jungle-Besque too. This litter produced the nicest colored Kahl line Moonglows I'd ever seen! Not to mention all the other beautiful animals I lost too!

Sooo.....needless to say, it was a very depressing moment in my life & has been a big strugle just getting to where I am now and I still have a ways to go!

Keep me posted as to what your Sunglow Arabesque produces! If she produces ANYTHING like her brother & my 08 triple het Jungle produced, you won't be dissapointed!

One last thing, how much does your fem Arab weigh?

Thanks
Chaz Neely

Awesome!!!
