There has been a lot of pastel talk recently, so I thought I would post a few of mine, sort of a little pic medley of various ages.
Here is a comparison shot of a baby with a normal sibling

her by herself

belly shots



a couple yearlings



the patriarch of the line

and finally, me holding him

Thanks bro. If you need to talk I am only an email away. I have been having some pretty rough times lately myself between an eviction (5 day notice the week before Thanksgiving), and my wife finding a lump in her thyroid the following week (biopsy Jan 3rd.), and this weekend all of my work tools were stolen out of my car. WEEEHEEEE!!.
Anyway, sometimes its good to talk to people you don't know all that well to clear your mind.

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is rough, especially this time of year. Holidays have always been rough around here. I lost my grandma this year on Easter, but I think that in the years to come, it will only strengthen the sense of togetherness when Easter comes around.

Thanks man the toughest part is distance I am in Montana and they are in PA.But I got to see him before he passed and so that does help alot.He tryed to get past christmas but only so much energy left.We had been hoping his pain would end and so that is somehting to hold on too.I am very tired of the word cancer as it makes life a living hell for some.........Thanks again for th e good thoughts......it does help to stay positive thru all the ups and downs of life.........

Dave, That patriarch is something special. If You match him up with a female that is 1/2 as good, and you are going to have some VERY $$ special Boas. Heck even if you breed him to a very dark and colorless Boa, you should even get some awesome snakes. If you could duplicate that Patriarch, you would be able to get a pretty penny for them with some SERIOUS DEMAND.

That is soo nice it almost looks T positive in a way. Take Care, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeremy.
That dark grey nasty looking thing in the picture with him is the mother of the babies in the first couple of pictures.
This year I have paired him with a nice light normal thats clean as a whistle, and a very light anery.Thank's for the well wishing. I will be getting ahold of you after this season because you have some stuff I would love to get into.

This is one of the offspring I got from Davey last year from the clean female.. Just thought I would post a few pix to brag on Daveys animals.. Oh yeah, and this little guy was over 1 1/2 years old when I snapped these..




(he's in his light mood in these)

Man, that is a Beauty. I love it. IT looks like it is turning that Buckskin color I love, kindof like the Miller "Pastels". Here is a picture of the one it reminds me of. Yours is nicer though. I think they will be STUNNING as adults. Take Care, Jeremy

Belly shots!
When I was deciding what to keep I looked at all their bellies. That's another quality I look out for.
