Unfortunately I lost the female; why is it always the female?

Bob,
You never mentioned the female passed away.
I will look and see what this next clutch of NE brooksi does. The last few cluthes have been male and I have like 16 males I am sitting on. Maybe I will get high females and I can throw one your way if you pay the shipping.

Rainer,
She didn't die, I lost her. My one and only permanent escapee. My bad not yours, so I didn't feel I should call and [bleep] . It falls under the s@%$ happens category.

36 inches at one year! I finally got an axan. of my own from Rainer. I hope he turns out that nice at a year.

FEED, FEED, FEED...of all the '04s I have, the only ones that are not pushing 30 inches are those I got later on in the year...and they are catching up...one of these days I'll figure out how to post pics here and I'll show you...LOL Helane

Thanks. If you like that, wait until I post pics of the peanutbutter male. Coming to a forum near you!

Just like with the GAs I posted below I let the snakes eat what they will some have less hearty appetites than others. I find that if they are not picky eaters they will eat about 2x a week 2 small food items each feeding until they take hopper size meals then I feed hoppers until I'm giving them 4 at a time. I then switch to adult mice 2 at a time. I usually don't feed when they are blue and I did have a summer stretch where everyone got feed 2x in a month (out of town for work).

I have kept kings since I was a young teen and I used to be amazed at how much they can eat. But over the years I somehow forgot this and they now get fed more like my boas. Time to pick up the pace. Then maybe they will stop stalking my hands!

Bob, yours looks just like my 04 NE Axanthic male, whic is also bluerosy stock. Not sure of his size, maybe 31-32 inchs.

Thanks Steve. I'm hoping that in about another year all the scales will have finished lightening. Sometimes the pics look white and sometimes blue
