I came in the house tonight and found this.....>>

*Please excuse the water spots on my snakeshe gets filtered water to drink, but I mist her with well water* Anyhoo, after an afternoon of installing electric fencing for my equine hooligans, I came in and found Missy in a sort of lumpy, expanded state. No, it is not a rat. In fact she's refused food since 6/3....and NO, she's not preggers!! Oh, contraire!!

In April and May she was doing this stuff! This year, I left Murphy with her until he started hawking the door - wanting out - yes, he does that. (If he doesn't want/like a girl, he comes to the door and waits for me to come get him. It's pretty cute.) So maybe if I'm very good and eat all my vegetables, I'll be blessed with a S---- Motley or two. I hardly dare to think about it.

(for me) is that I have two pair breeding right now. My poor boas, being owned by a novice, don't know when they are "supposed" to breed. I guess it's all good. I'm not going to fight it if that's what they want to do, it's ok with me.

Linda, that would be SOOO cool.

KEEP EATING CARROTS!!!! STOP FEEDING ALL THOSE HORSES. CARROTS are your LUCKY veggie!!!!

FINGERS ARE CROSSED HERE. IF I can't PRODUCE them, I must send over Gaylynn to CONVINCE you that OUR place is the ONLY rightful owner of Super Motleys for the First 10 years. lol

I LOVE THE MOTLEY!!! Too bad I'm not going to have a big year with them. Only a few litters!!!!!! I guess that is GOOD for the market.

PS. I only got 1 female Motley to take this year, so I have 1 Shot!!!! 1 Shot!!!!!! I eat a bag of carrots Everyday. If it fails, I'll let you know so you can switch from carrots to squash. Or whatever.......

for all your kind words and good luck wishes.

I'm not gonna get my hopes up (yeah, right). All I can do is watch and wait and obsess.....you know, the regular stuff we boa-holics do.

Jeremy, I've been head over heels in love with the "S's" ever since I held that precious little creature at your house two years ago. It's all your fault, doood.

Regarding Jessica: I'm gonna ultrasound her this evening and see what I can *see*. I'm going to try to put some ultrasound jpgs on my computer and then post on the forum.....if I can get all that figured out.
