What is that, an obsoletus cross?

I was just looking over some of the babies tonight and admiring the coloration in some of these. Here's one of my favorites....

That calico is incredible.Im glad to see something that doesnt need to be fed 40 pound pigs in that morph...Paul

Terry Cox Nov 22, 2004 06:12 AM

No 40 lb. piglets for this girl. She's very happy with mousy pups, and she still was around three foot at the end of her first year. This race is very hardy too and non-aggressive. Cool snakes. TC.

terryp Nov 22, 2004 09:46 AM

on the forum TC. If you already have, then I missed it. It was nice to hear when you produced some calicos in last season's clutch I believe. They look awesome. One of the beauty rat snakes that would fit well with some of the posts on which beauty rat snake they should get.

Thanks, Terry. Of course, I just have that one calico, and it'll be another year and a half, at least, before I can breed her. Do you remember how ugly she was as a baby? They just keep getting better. I'll post a couple more taeniura pics later.

Welcome Scott! Enjoy the forum. As Jimmy (Draybar) said, this is certainly one of the more enjoyable forums on Kingsnake. Lots of knowledgeable people with no egos. Everyone is always willing to help out or just share knowledge and experiences. Post up some pics when you can! Billy

(other forum names will not be mentioned here lol)

Welcome to the rat snake forum Scott. You have acquired a nice collection from your list. Any breedings going on with them? Good luck.

Terry Parks

scottc Nov 22, 2004 11:17 AM

thanks, everyone for the welcoming responses and picture info. This year I did do some breeding w/ some everglades I had. too bad I don't have them anymore,but thats the way it goes sometimes I guess.
thanks, scott

panther13half Nov 22, 2004 12:40 PM

i agree with the pigs thing lol

will you have any available next year?

if so, sign me up for a pair.....calico is the most gorgeous morph in my opinion, in beauties, retics and black rats!!!!
