Our baby season has finally begun!!! lol CA Motley's het T Albino born today!!

Amanda_Burke Jun 08, 2005 10:41 PM

With all the people posting pictures of the beautiful litters everyone has been having, I don't know how much longer I could have waited for our babies to start arriving! lol Every day, I call my dad about 15 times to see if we have babies yet, and today we actually did! lol Boy do I wish I was in NY instead of being stuck studying (or being distracted by the forum!) in Boston right about now.
This was our first litter of the season and what a way to start it off... The female CA Motley we have on breeding loan from James Arnold and Paul Mitzelfeldt gave birth today to a beautiful litter of Motley and normal het's for T Albino! We weren't expecting her to give birth until around June 15, but we've found, at least in the relatively few CA litters that we've had, that the Central Americans seem to have slightly shorter gestation periods than our Colombians. Just means a few less days for me to be impatient!
Anyway, here are some shots. My dad hasn't really messed with them yet because we try to wait a day or two before we move them, so right now we only have the group pics...

This one is my favorite so far!...


And here are two pictures of yearling T 's that shed last week...I am so psyched to imagine this as a Motley!!!

I love the bright tail on the one below...

Thanks for looking!!

Congrats Burkes and James and Paul!!! MAJOR MAJOR HIT!!! One of the Baby Motleys looks purple like an anery. Very cool. They all look incredible. That has to be very exciting.

Amanda, you need to remind us to put on our sunglasses when posting pictures of those T postives!! Serious!!! They are looking great!!! LOL

What a beautiful litter and project. The Possibilities are ENDLESS!!!

Amanda that is wonderful news.
I agree with Jeremy, that first Motley has an anery look to it, but it is hard to tell in babies.

I can't wait for two of your other litters, ones I may be able to afford animals from, lol. I got my Type II from Jeremy yesterday, and hope I can get him a girl from one of your litters this year!

Take care,
Chris

PS: The female 66% Het Blood stopped changeing colors, she now stays vivid orange and red!

That's a fantastic litter! Congrats to you all!!! I can certainly see why that little baby is your favorite. I love those squares! VERY COOL!! I think a T Motley CA is going to be killer. The Motleys are so HIGH contrast...the T gene is going to be awesome when put into that!

Congrats again! I'm sure you guys are stoked!

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Amanda,

I was talking to your dad. Seems she had a nice little litter. I can’t wait to see them in person. What is a super motley t poss going to look like? I can’t wait to see. Shoot, even a t poss motley would be a smoker. It keeps getting better every year. Soon we boa freaks may have a long list of morphs like the ball python guys. oh and you did spell Paul's name right. That's how it was originaly. Now, they spell it Mitzelfelt. lol He get's that all the time with his last name.

Attached is the Pic of the mom to these wonderful babies.

Take care,
James W. Arnold

Amanda_Burke Jun 09, 2005 01:56 PM

Hi James,
I can't wait to see them in person either! lol It's killing me! Your motley did a good job, especially for a first litter! But don't worry, her little attitude came right back after the babies were born! lol During the pregnancy she was relatively calm, but now my dad said she's right back to her usual self! I'm really happy about the looks of the motley's she had...I can't wait to see them in the T positive form!
Tell Amanda and Isaiah I said hello... Look forward to seeing you guys in Daytona!!
Take care,
Amanda
