Post-brumation joys......

bring on things like this. What were stubborn lizard-onlys are now accepting live pinks. What's even better is when they accept a thawed chaser for seconds.
Looking forward to another year of neat babies, and keeping my fingers crossed for some more "pink" offspring. Hope everyone is well in the new year.

Just great to see that lil' guy get going....

Those are two separate snakes my friend. But definitely, so nice to see some of the little buggers come around -- 3 outta 5 ain't bad. I had a third agalma go as well but two alterna remain obnoxious. How are your youngins?

Well fine then congrats of having two awesome lil' buggers get to it! My 'kids' are doing fine -- all are ravenous... the male from you is the standout as growth goes though. By far. Great lookin' animal... curious to see what you produce this year!

now that we're all warm and fuzzy....LOL, but seriously, I'd like to see a pic of that little guy. I almost kept him back, as you know. I'm hopin' for some of those pink babies, as last year I had two and, coincidentally, were the ones that were deformed. My incubation box shot up to well above 90 degrees for several days while I was in Mexico last July. Never again. I'm incubation the old fashioned way, using a fish tank 1/3 filled with water and warmed with a fish tank heater, a couple of bricks to elevate the incubation box just above the surface of the water, and seal off the top with intermittent wafts of fresh air throughout the incubation process. A nice, steady 73 - 75 F will do along with the usual amount of patience. We're getting more snow tomorrow into Saturday btw -- should I FedEx or USPS to ya??
