Hi, I just wanted to show these guys. They exibit charicteristics of both parent species (color, pattern, scalation, and attitude). They're doing great and growing very strong. I can't wait to see how they turn out as adults.
Thanks,
Phil

Nice looking snakes.

Sorry Philip, I take that back about this being 75% burmese. I hadn't seen this third picture here displaying the full body. This picture clearly shows what looks like a full 50/50 burm/rock, even down to the nice little tail stripe. Good lookin little guy. Nearly identical to mine when they were small (young). If you don't already know, I'm happy to tell you that they only get prettier as they grow and age.

Cheers man, you are part of a fairly exclusive club that is only going to GROW in the close years to come. That being anything af-rock related.

I'm glad to see someone else with a working interest in these beautiful beasts. If you look closely at the scalation on the head, there's a "perfect" circular scale right in the center. Weird!!! The siblings all have slightly differant scalations. I have some big ideas as far as breeding projects go...if Brian doesn't produce them first.And what do you say about a rock-craze? Will they ever become popular with that afrock attitude and the general fear of them?
Thanks

Oh yes, I have more than a working interest in rock pythons. I have a veritable obsession with them and feel that they need a lot more recognition as the amazing pythons that they are. I fully intend to try to make these nearly as popular as burmese are now, over time. Simply by producing and supplying the world's most docile rocks available (i hope) as well as offering a tame for life guarantee and informative rock python "manuals" lol. All of my rock pythons will be in the form of a pattern or color morph, the first of which of course will be patternless greens and aberant striped greens (first produced by Jay Vella) and then others "springboarded" if you will off of these outstanding morphs.

To me the rock pythons are the most intelligent of all the pythons as well as the most misunderstood. One of my main goals is to help to inform the herp world of why rock pythons behave the way they do as I also provide quality, docile animals. It will take time, but knowledge and awareness will prevail. One can compare the past reputation of reticulated pythons in the 70's and 80's when the vast majority of retics were highly deffensive/aggressive wild caught imports. In recent years with a huge proliferation of easy going, captive produced retics the herp world has gotten a glimpse on their gentle nature. This is what I hope to help accomplish with the rock python morphs and rock/? hybrids.

I have some adult breeders that are 50/50. I have a gravid female right now but she was NOT bred with another 50/50 hybrid rock/burmese (no, I won't say what she is knocked up by, he he he, it's top secret). The reason why I did not breed her to my male hybrid is because I have heard that there is a high probability of infertility in hybrid to hybrid breedings and I don't want to chance it. But in a couple of years when I have 10 or 15 adult females of these big beauties I will certainly attempt some F-2 breedings.

Are yours 75% burmese? They look a lot different from my 50/50's.
