A look at some gravid alterna.

shannon brown Apr 14, 2011 03:48 PM

Not counting my snakes before they hatch ( or are even laid) but here is a sample of whats to come.
In no real order here is a pretty big chunk of what looks gravid for sure.Even a couple have shed already and should drop in the next 8 days or so.A couple are in shed and a couple are still a week or so away from there pre-lay shed.
Limpia Cyn.

this girl was the first one I ever walked.She was just a adult and has gave me a good clutch every year since 2003.
Buffalo Creek

This girl was c/b in 1993 and this is her first time ever breeding.Its a eagles nest produced by Dan Johnson.The male I used is a blairs so I doubt any babies will come out like mom but you never know.

this is another eaglas nest but she is w/c from 1999.Its her first time ever breeding also.

to bad this east sanderson w/c 2007 is in the blue cause she is a great looking animal and throws off super killer babies.I bred her son from 07 back to her this year so we should have some very dark babies with good red if all goes well.

Iam not totally sure this black on black loizer is gravid yet or not but she has been hooked up several times.Maybe another week or so and she will really swell up.

I know this dark Loizer is gravid.She is a Doughter to the one above.Its her first time so fingers are crossed.

This is our f1(2003) obsorvatory cut snake bred by our w/c male from 2003. They throw off some wicked ass babies.

This is my Radio Tower (hyw 277) that I walked in 05 when it was bone dry and 92 degrees.This will be here second time now.She was bred by a f1 male that Coach Gave me from two of his w/c radio towers.

River Road with cool orange plus signs all the way down her.

this is just a screamer sweetman red Bluff snake when she isn't in the blue.

another sweetman line Red Bluff.

yet another sweetman line girl.

and one more sweetman.

Boyden stock christmas.

Last but not least,the only generic alterna in my collection.This is a hypo-e Chris Baubel possible het Luecistic.I sure hope they prove out.She is huge at 550 grams too.

I still have some gap morphs that are lagging behind plus 2 more sandersons,langtry,and another x-mas.

and just because we are in West Texas here are a couple w/c Comstock Annulata just about ready to lay.

and here is the comstock annulata male.

Hope you enjoyed now just wish me luck on god clutches and a good hatch rate.

I remember that 05' Radio Tower. It was dry and hot when we were there. If I remember right you walked that one at the very end of the cut.

Yep, you got that nice little light phase alterna that trip too right?

Aaron Apr 15, 2011 12:03 PM

I remember it too cause I was walking the cut across the street from you when you found it, lol. What was it, like 93 degrees right? I remember it was bone dry and very hot. It was a tiny cut too, barely 1 foot tall and really grassy.

That one and the first red bluff from Adam Sweetman. I will definitely be inquring about them here really soon.

Aaron Apr 15, 2011 11:49 AM

That is an impressive assortment of alterna. Looks like you are headed for a great year!
The annulata are really neat too, not many people working with the western localities of annulata, or any locality annulata for that matter.

I also wanted to say that hypo-e generic is just amazing as well. Remember those anery-looking Juno's that you had several years ago? They were alterna phases but I gotta wonder if they might have had the same mutation going on.

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
