Okay, This is where I will bore you all with the daily happenings...
3-11-10......Just started up this site today....all animals are fat and happy we have 2 female balls that have been breeding with my pastel males and my RDR jolliff axanthic 66%het snow. We also are looking forward to some babies from our female red tail..... guess you'll have to wait and see.....
3-12-10..... Everyone is getting bigggg! Not too much longer and it will be baby time hopefully not while we're on vacation.... At least we have friends we can trust to take care of business
3-13-10..... the suspense is killing me....... Feed, Water, Change today............
3-14-10.....So we lost power last night from 645pm-230am of course with no generator we were screwed, and our all too thoughtful neighbors don't know how to close the front door. Drafts were covered up everywhere with blankets (thank you Mal) and the temp only got down to 65....still with a prego female boa and over 30 snakes that have just ate a meal a drop in temp that low is stressful. At 1130 (when NYSEG said the electric should be restored by) I started to go into emergency mode and tore the house apart to find the hand warmer pads to throw on the female boa as she was wrapped tight at this point. We got dressed and ready to spend money we dont have and buy a battery powered heater, then power as we got set to walk out...... Thanks NYSEG for being cruel and sarcastic.....hahaha what a night
3-16-10..... Yeah I missed a day but what can you do? I had a problem with spyware but fixed it so we're up and running......
BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5-24-10..... BOA BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 25 big babies were born last night>>>>I couldnt be more proud. Mallory sprang right into action and started yanking them out after I took mom out of the tank. Sami ran up and helped to soak momma boa to get the baby juice off.....Mal cleaned the tank while I prepared their temp moist housing...... I was a wreck as usual........ (New Father Syndrome)....... chicken with it's head cut off.....Luckily enough I have a great girlfriend and awesome best friends to keep me from just spinning in circles...ha... well more pics to come and a Vid is on its way as well.......
6-8-10..... Everyone had their first shed....!A few of the babies ate today cant wait to downsize a little on my bp's and give the baby boas more room to stretch out!!! Hopefully everything goes ok with this deal.....I could use the extra feeders and extra room......
6-24-10.... The babies have all eaten rat pups and are doing phenomenal!!!!!
7-15-10..... Everyone is doing great!!! We decided on our hold backs for the baby boas {see pic left}, and the next project will be a ve175 rack for the adults. All the balls are getting fattened up for breeding season. I can't wait the spiders will be breeding to the pastels backed by the Jolliff axanthic 66%het snow.......Soon we will have some new additions to the furry critters. ....!!!!!{PICS SOON}
7-19-10..... EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got 4 eggs out of our female normal bred to our male pastel,male RDR ax 66%het snow, and (Shoot Foot) our 100% het pied. I might have inadvertently set my self up for quite a who's your daddy 4 year project>>>>>> Cross your fingers for some pastels.........

8-10-10..... One egg has gone bad but the others are showing huge potential!
They Pipped !!!!!!
9-09-10..... They pipped today!!!!!!!!!!!! We got 1 pastel baby out of the egg with the nipple on it and 2 normal babies. Now here's the kicker If those 2 normals are female then I will have to hold them back because the female also bred with our RDR Ax 66%het snow and our 100%het pied.....shoot foot....... we'll let you know soon...........These guys are tiny !!!!!!!!!!!!.... I have no doubt I can get them up to size though..
Thanks for looking

Breeding Plans 2010
9-14-10..... We will definitely be breeding our 2 spider girls this year, I will rotate my pastels\ cinny through the one female, and I was thinking the other girl would do well to breed with my RDR ax 66%het snw male, backed with the Cinny.
..... Our 2 normal females that I will be using this year will be bred to the Ax 66%, as well as the pastel males and the Cinny, and I will probably even try and toss in the pastel 100%het snow to see if he will come out of his shell this year.......
..... I have already introduced our bloods who are getting huge!!!............
..... Big thanks to Tom from Rare Pythons for the new Helix with night time drop....... That will make my breeding season so much easier than playing change the temp with the Ranco every night and morning......
