Dwarfs and paracites... What is this thing???

serpentinedreams Oct 22, 2004 12:43 PM

This is so wierd, just look at all the larva.... I think there prolly some sorta funky lil worms.

I just got a new Incubator for this occasion, I realy do hope it works out as well as I hope.. Its already so dang cold, here today... It just feels like christmas comes earlier and earlier... every year!

Well at least it looks like Jampeaclause thought I was being extra nice this year. Ohhh no, dont worry, I wont open the presents early. But I think I know whats in em
Thanks, S. DeBord

Hmm so will these be christmas babies, or at least close to it? Cant wait to see them when they all hatch..Of course don't open them early it ruins the fun.

Since it is close to the Holiday season and all, if you feel the need to be generous give me buzz man ! Know you've been waiting for this girl to drop, and can't wait to see the finished product ...

You see Todd thats what your snake should be doing over here! But no, he's just sitting in the corner by himself! lol Did you teach this guy everything you know, or what?? lmao He could make some eggs if he'd get off his butt! Maybe I'll put a Brittany Spears poster in his cage? I hate to part with it but what the heck, right? LOL Congrats on the eggs Shaun!

I would have returned to reply earlier but am at NWCB in Seattle. The weathers great out here, a nice cool rainy day, lots of clouds and a slightly refreshing, and freezing breeze in the moist air.

Im so glad, The eggs were left toasting at a warm 90~ish f. and with any luck and prayers our new incubator will prove itself and the clutch should be hatching in about 85 days... SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep your fingers crossed.

Ohh, Speaking of crossed, I am not expecting any Pure (JAMPEA) animals this year but we have a couple of other hopeful (dwarf) projects lined up. I will likly retire my breeders soon to concentrate on selective breeding projects with there CB offspring.

Mark, isnt that the same male Todd sent you? You know, Todd had him wearing a dress, and prehapse he may need counceling. Or he may just need is a little male companionship. I bet you Todd could get him goin... Serriously, He sent me a male that realy seems to "love me" and trys to stain my pants daily.

Todd, just pray for a good hatch and if at all possible, I will return the favor!

PS STOP MOLESTING THE LIL BOY RETICS OK?

Hey Shaun.

That doesn't look like parasites to me. It looks like yet another successful clutch of Jampea Retic eggs.

Good luck!

Bill

Thanks Bill,

BTW how is he doing these days? I hope everything is well.

P.S. ---For anyone elses intrest Bill now owns the first pure Jampea hatchling that I produced and is now in great need of a good digi cam to share pics with us. I have personaly donated $2.00 and collected a total of $2.01 for this cause, we are only 197.99 away from from our goal of $200.00 so please email me to send your contribution to the "Bill needs a cam" fund!

Hey Shaun.

He's fine.

He finally stopped with the rapid growth, ending up at approximately 8 feet and 10 lbs. His eat-at-all-costs behavior has slowed down a bit, too; probably since he was around 15-16 months old (he's 20 months now, right?).

No problems at all.

Nice work Shaun! Pretty exciting stuff. You mentioned that you do not expect any pure jamps this year. What bred this lucky lady? What else do you have in the works? Have a good one!

Well, the eggs should be hatching in about 3 months but untill then I guess we can have a guess the retic contest.

As far as dwarf projects are conserned I belive we probably have one of the largest collections of them in the world. As well we have collected many of the known morphs and will be experamenting with them all for some time. I am looking forward to seeing more eggs this season but with retics, it realy just seems you never know what will happen. I am hopeful that with any luck, in the next couple of years we should have several pure selectivly breed and morph dwarfs pipping..
