hopefully.......

Nice pairing....
I would bet a ton that the male is the light colored bright red one and the female the duller dark one.....
AM I Right??????
I think the most Mexmex males are nicer looking than the females.
Has anyone else noticed this?
John Lassiter

yes you are correct the male is the looker and the female is butt ugly but neat in her own way

Man Russ those female look FULL of eggs. I hope you get some nice ones again this year.
My Orange Milksnake phase Thayeri from VIVID is gravid and just shed yesterday....I should get eggs this weekend....I HOPE...
Good Luck Russ,
John Lassiter

So that's where all those nice creamy looking Thayeri come from....LOL
Great looking pair Russ. Hope to see some more nice ones from ya again man...
John Lassiter

I know some of the pictures I've shown may look vreamy but honestly the majority of my babies are all high yellow and bright. Those darn cameras (I need a new one) are so hard to get focused just right.

Good luck with your snakes,
Russ

I hope you get some real nice ones this year Russ.
And I thank you for wishing me luck this year. I need it....LOL

two fat thayeri in the morning!!!

whenever I look at the one brown theyers she really looks uncomfortable....way fat! She has been the best snake and such a prolific breeder. I generally get 20 eggs from her every year without fail. To think, I only spent $60 for five years ago...what a deal!

Russ

Damn dude what kind of mice are you feeding her? The most mine have ever laid was 12. I've never heard of a Thayeri laying 20 eggs. My huge ass cal kings don't even lay that many. Are feeding those mice protein powder?

That has got to be two clutches.....
I have a female that has laid 13 eggs every year in a single clutch. Check out my question up a few threads and let's see what the records are....
John Lassiter

13 is a huge clutch IMHO. I'd be dancing around if I got 13 eggs. I'd go into cardio arrest if I got 20. LOL

maybe you misunderstood my post. I don't get 20 eggs per clutch but two clutches for 20 eggs. I feed my thayeri rats with much success.

Russ

Even 20 eggs for 2 Thayeri is pretty darn good. Good luck with those two this year Russ.

thayeri this summer. I've got three girls that are consistent double clutchers and two first year virgins. I don't know if the first timers will go successfully or not but we'll see. It should be a real fun summer for thayeri at my house.

Take care,
Russ

I won't have any of my girls ready until next year. Keep us posted Russ. I think its going to be a good year for snakes.
