vichris Jul 12, 2005 08:31 PM

Some Cali kings that look mostly like their father. Three look more like mom.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks John, my second clutch of cali kings is starting to come out of the eggs too. I've got a couple that have much more white in the second clutch. Can't wait for the thayeri too. Keep us all posted on your clutch when they start hatching out.

Nice! My first clutch isn't due until this Friday (day 60) of course they never arrive on day 60 LOL I will still have cal kings hatching in mid September. I will be doing the Tucson Reptile Show again this year.

Hey Kerby,

Thanks for the compliment but we both know these don't hold a candle to those killers you produce. Sounds like you got sort of a late start this year. Are you coming down to the Albuquerque show with Scott? Ooops I'm not sure I could stand the competition. LOL It would be good to see you though. Rich G was here last year. Tell Scott to bring some of that Manzanita. The local herp shop has a new owner and she wants some.

When is the Tuscon show?

Hey I'm doing something new this year. Veiled Chameleons! So far so good.

Thanks again

Chris

PS Here's a pic of the mother. And another of the father doing it with another female

I will be doing the Tucson Reptile Show. It is Sept 24th and 25th. I will not be doing the Alb NM show. You will have to check with Scott on his schedule. I no longer herp with him since our Kansas trip this year.

I took my snakes out of brumation in March this year. My first clutch is due this Friday and my clutches will be hatching into September. It is much easier for me to keep them in brumation until the weather forces me to bring them up. They breed later and I have eggs later, which means less mouths to feed until show time. I am in no hurry to have the first clutches of the year. There is no benefit for me to do so as I sell all of my babies anyways. I always give the AHA first crack, then Kingsnake claasifieds, then the Tucson show. I have very few snakes after that. I wholesale the cheaper ones after the Tucson show.

I love this time of the year when snakes start to hatch!

Take care Chris.

Congrats.

I like the B/W banded ones more than the reverse stripe things lol.

I just pulled a really cool B/W banded on from my second clutch. He/she probably has the most unique looking banding I've seen from any I've hatched out over the years. I'll post some pics when they all come out of the eggs.
Thanks for looking Mike.
