Im testing some of the features on my site, and wanted to see if I could upload photos onto other sites. So here goes nothing.

I really loved this hypo, she has such great colors.

She should be big enough to go this fall. I have a few newer shots of her on the work computer I plan to upload tommorow.

She was produced by Alex @ Boa Repulic and is a great feeder. I hope to put her into a project with a buddy, and may be lucky enough to produce Sunglow Motleys (a man can dream...LOL).

I have two of theese girls, produced by Doug M. @ Boa Basement. I hope to prove them out one way or the other this fall. I have a nice anery male that would do the trick, but could end up sending them out on breeding loans for bigger and better pastures.

This is the sister of the other one. She also (of course) was produced by Doug @ Boa Basement. They are both a bit jumpy, but overall very nice snakes.

Here is a shot of the girls when they were only 2 years old. The male ghost in the photo was produced by Ron M @ Class Reptilia. At one point I had planned to use that boy with the girls, but things have long since changed.

This little man came from the same parents as the one just posted. God that bloodline produces some killer boas. Gray @ All Boas has a pair from the 03 litter, and should produce with them in the near future. I will be very interested to see what kind of abberancies (if any) pop up in the litter. What Id really like to see is if a NON HYPO in the litter were to come out abberant.

This male has a different color overall, but still has the abberancies common from this pairing. The only down side to theese guys (to some that is) would be their size. They are slower growing boas and I highly doubt any will grow larger then 6 ft.

Obviously the "Jungle" gene didnt attach to this little guy. Hes going into shed in the pic, but still hes NO HYPO JUNGLE.

I have a few of theese guys from Kahl/Stone this season. What great colors. Sadly one of them has decided it wants to be a runt, but the other one I have left is an awsome snake. Plus the people who have the others have responded the same. I think the stripe line albinos are easily one of the best albino bloodlines out.

This guy was produced by Chuck T, and was no where near as highly colored as the stripe line ones are. In Chucks defence, this one was the dullest of the litter, and I was well aware of that going in. I just figured I would post it to show just how much of a difference there is in albinos (as if we didnt allready know that....LOL)

This sunglow was produced by Mark Miller of Loco Lizards. She was such a great looking boa. It was very hard to part with this one, but I had to fund the shop. She went to a local guy, I should try and get an updated photo of her.

some lookers in the bunch! I'm more of a Sharp man myself but those albino's 66% het stripe look like they'll be some nice adults. Oh yeah, and the sunglow but the coral sunglow that Mark posted a few days back still doesn't have that much on Ron Michelotti's "NORMAL" Sharp sunglow. I saw that thing in person and was in aaaawwwwwwwwwww!!!! No offense Mark and all the other Kahl die hards but you can't MESS WITH THE SHARP STRAIN IN MY OPINION. Don't get me wrong I dig the stripe line and have the animals but the Sharp strain is the $@#%!!! Nice boas Mickey.

VolcomHerp Apr 27, 2005 06:22 AM

I was just curious about when you will produce some baby sharp albinos? I would like to knoe in advance so I can save up some cash LOL 8) No seriously. Thanks Jake

RuBeN14 Apr 27, 2005 10:20 AM

I should hopfully produce some this upcoming season. I'll have 3-4 female Sharp albino's ready between me and a friend. This year I might have triple hets(hypo het albino and anery) and double het Sharp snow's from my ghost to Sharp breeding. She is looking good but you never know what will happen. She is due on July 10th. Feel free to contact me whenever you want to check up on the breedings.

VolcomHerp Apr 27, 2005 01:03 PM

Hey thanks for the info. I will be checking with you soon 8)

The one I got from you is doing great, one of the best if not the best boa I have at the moment.

Hey Mickey, she's doing great. I keep seeing pics of her

patoquack Apr 28, 2005 10:53 AM

sorry, I hit the "enter" key before I was done typing..

anyway, I keep seeing pics of her.. I can understand that she was a hard one to see go, but I was glad I was able to acquire her. She's up to small to medium rats now. I'm guessing she won't be ready for breeding till the 06/07 season, but I'll be way psyched to try and produce from her...

Patrick

Mickey_TLK Apr 28, 2005 04:22 PM

She was a tough one to let go, and I still love looking at my old pics of her.

So what way are you going with that girl? I would love to see what she could do with a clean anery in terms of ghosts, but thats obviously not the most lucrative route to go with her.

If you get a good shot of her, send it my way Id love to see what she has grown into.

patoquack Apr 28, 2005 09:51 PM

I was thinking of using something like one of these two with her..

Mickey_TLK Apr 29, 2005 06:52 PM

Hmmm tough call on that one.

In my opinion going back to "common" blood would be great as it may add some size/strength to the line. My only worry with the line is that the parents were both Ihle "k" animals, and may likely be siblings. As such I would think going away from hypo would do wonders for genetic diversity.

On the subject of abberancies, and Im sure everyone has there own opinion there, I think going stripe to stripe may be great, but doesnt really help prove or disprove much of anything. Say the litter comes out half or all striped, what one caused it? Allthough with yourself, Gray, and a few others going at it different ways we may learn more.

Something about that line tells me there is more then just normal hypo abberancies going on. To uniform across the line, and half of each litter just screams something, not sure what but something.

Good luck with her, and by the way the other two you posted are very nice looking snakes also.

patoquack May 01, 2005 02:46 AM

These are the males I will be trying to use this coming season..
