Hard to express how incredible your clutch is!
How do you say "Send me a pair" in Mandarin LOL
Whats the difference between your ivories and Brads (Python Eugenics) that are here in the states?

Same gene. There was a young guy from Taiwan at the Daytona show in 2009 when I was showing the first captive bred ivories who approached me with a picture of one of the original captive hatched ivories he had taken oversees on his phone. It was a juvenile in the picture at the time.

That is an incredible sight. Until your post I hadn't yet seen one of the original captive hatched ivories as a massive adult, and am looking forward to mine attaining that kind of size. Congrats on the accomplishment!!!

Not to take anything away from your success, but you’d mention that this 2010 clutch is the first clutch of ivories ever hatched, so this I must contest. We bred and hatched ivories last year and posted pictures of the babies on the forum in April 2009. Although it's clear that mine are not the only one ever hatched world, I think I'm still the only one to have bred and hatched ivories in the US.

I would wager that your clutch are the first ivories born from Ivory X Ivory breeding which proves the reproductive viability of the gene. That is an important fact about the gene in my opinion to ensure to the public they'll be able to produce the same results if they acquire ivories for the purpose of propagation. Congrats again!!!

Awesome, big congrats. I want one, or two, or three, well, you get the picture. Very nice.

LOL save up your $$. Although his prices seem reasonable, dont forget about shipping and permits from Taiwan all the way to where you live!
What I do like about multiple people producing desirable morphs is that the prices will eventually come down to a level that we can some day afford.
My biggest concern is that if they are added to the Lacey Act, it will be awfully hard for me to buy one.
