The female that produced the ghost brooks below.................

This girl was produced by Dave B a few years ago. She's probably one of the cleanest brooksi I've ever seen and is just massive. She seems to be a pretty good breeder too. lol. This year's total was 44 eggs.

For an update on the other ghosts, so far, 1.1 have emerged from their eggs and the second and third are MUCH lighter than the one in the pic posted below. I'll try to get pics posted within the next 24 hours. In the mean time, enjoy your day.

Man that is awesome!!! That female is a monster, and a great looking normal. The pair I got from her last year is getting nicer every day. I'm glad you are having some good luck.

Brandon-
Good Lord she looks like a freaking sewer pipe and has the fertility of a water snake! How much does she weigh and how long is she now? Looks like after the past two years she's making it up to you. Maybe she just needed to adjust to the new time zone... I told you that was a good pair- six ghosts in two years for me!!! I would like to see a pic of the 2x male again if you get around to it. Maybe get some of that "big whitie" blood into those ghosts ASAP- that will be a knockout snake.
Glad to see your success man and keep spreading the word, brooksi rule! More pics, please.

Man, I have to say, I was about to give up on these guys until this clutch. If I didn't get any ghosts, I was planning on selling these. lol. I figured from a total of 85 eggs in 2 years, I had to have a few ghosts. Thanks again for some awesome snakes. I'll get some new pics of that male up soon.
