Dumerils x BCI

Brewster320 Jun 23, 2009 06:11 PM

I have news that this cross may have finally been done sucessfully. I've been talking online to a manger of a wildlife center in NH who had housed a male dumerils and and a female columbian together thinking that nothing would happen. As it turned out about 2 months ago she gave birth to a litter of 35. 5 of which did not make it and another 5 have already have found new homes.

They are trying to relocate them as they do not have room for an extra 25 large constrictors at the center. I have been talking to the manger of the center through e-mail and and spoke to him today on the phone about them. He should be sending me some picure of the litter later today and we will see if this is really legit or not.

So far everything seems legit but I still do have my doubts. If everything turns out good I will most likely pick up on of theses guys for myself. I hope this really turns out to be legit because it would be an amazing accomplishment to the world of hybrid herps(even if it wasn't suposed to happen as it did in this case).

Unfortunatly I've come to the conclusion the female BCI was already gravid before being housed with the male dumerils. Honestly I was expecting something like this. It's a shame though. I well, I personably belive someone will do this cross some day.
