Nice looking tri-color hondo

jeph Jul 30, 2004 01:22 AM

Hi,
Heres a pic I took last week of my het-albino poss. het-anery female-(poss. dh snow). She was produced by the 4 color albino male that was in Terrys hondo article in Reptiles. That male ended up being het-anery., hopefully i can proove this girl out next year, as I'm gonna pair her up with my anery. het-albino male-(tried to breed him this year x a dh snow female, after numerous battles between them, I probed the female dh and found out she was a male, bummer, I was looking forward to seeing a snow baby). Well I liked the pic and just wanted to share,

Jeff,

Nice snake, how old/big is it. I'm not too fond of the normal hondo's because of the turn to black nature of them, but this snake is very pretty. Nice picture too, good job.

Hi Mike,
Yeah, alot of times tri-colors tunr pretty dark and are not as attractive as they were wehn they young. But when they stay clean into adult hood they are one of the nicest looking hondos I think. I have an adult het-anery female who hasnt got much tipping, she is really nice looking.Good talking to you again,

She is a very nice looking Honduran.
I know how you feel when you found out the female is a male.

Hey Eric,
Oh yeah, I saw your post about your dh hybino female being a male, thats too bad, you would have gotten some nice babys from them probally. I was gonna go talk to you at the san diego show,-(shannon told me who you were but I left a little early, maybe next one), well good luck with your hondos,

I am going to Daytona show this year. First in my life. I never went to FL before. I already bought a airline ticket. Cost me $300. Anyway, I believe I will have a very good weekend over there. And hope to see Terry bring so killer Honduran.

If I remember right. You bought a male ghost from Terry before. That male wasn't breed when that time, but how is now? Has he breed this year? Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Yes, I bought a male ghost hondo off terry, back in 2001. It wasnt one of the 2 male adult ghost he sold that may not have been having succesful copulation-(I believe one of them actaully bred for the person who bought them, or after terry sold them one of th clutches he had one of those ghost males in ended up being fatherd by it, so the person got a good deal, I cant recall exactly. The ghost I got from Terry is the same ghost as the one in his reptiles magaizne ad from a year ago or so-(where the ghost baby is comming out of the gg) and its a very nice ghost, I really like him. Hes huge now and he did breed this year. I was planning on breeding him x a hypo female but she wasnt eating great comming out of brumation so i never paired her up. He bred x my huge 5ft het-hypo female-(prooven breed, last year gave 7 good eggs and they all hatched) and she only laid 2 eggs, 2 huge eggs those. They were laid 6-28-04, so just a month old now, but I'm looking for a nice hypo het-anery to hatch hopefully, a dh ghost baby would be cool too though. next year he'll have a few females to work with, anways, I wont be in daytona, i would like to go some time, sounds like alot of fun, I'd love to go for the night life there really, well peace,
