new addition, black phase Eastern

Lovin2act Mar 07, 2013 01:09 PM

My new little son courtesy of Robert Harper @ userpent.net

For those that know, my other male with the prolapse is still hanging on thus far. He has received lots of treatment as well as tlc. His prolapse is practically non existent when he is in his cage on his own. It's when I get him out and handle him that it tends to slightly prolapse again. So for him, the less handling the better. Time will tell on his chances for the long run. In the meantime though, he is eating well, and lives like a king!

Anyhow, this little guy here was a kind and generous gift from Robert to which I cannot express enough thanks and gratitude. Robert is a stand up breeder and person who stands behind his animals one hundred percent. Not just for the initial sale, but for the duration of their lives should the need for help and advice occur. This hobby needs more like him, and like many of you in here who do the same as he does with Drymarchon customers. I am so glad I chose to become a keeper of these very kick a*... I mean very special snakes

That is a really nice snake. I like the black chins too. Is she a daughter of that giant male Robert Harper has called "Big Jake"?

Whoops. Should have asked is he a son of "Big Jake"? I believe Jake is more than 8 feet long!

Haha yeah "he"!

Actually this one is not but my other male is! The one with the prolapse issue. This little fellow is from a red phase x red phase pairing, and he came out blacker than my other male did haha! Weird. Anyhow, this little guys father is 4 years old and sits at about 6.5 feet. So he may still have yet to grow a bit still too. Mom is 6 years and 6 feet. So we shall see what the future has in store for this little critter here as far as growth potential

And if my other boy (son of Big Jake) pulls through for the long term, he definitely has a large lineage to live up to! Here's hoping!
