Keeper pair, banded hypo project (progression)

[ghosthousecorns]

Took a couple pics of two of my "banded poss het cinder" clutch, I had about 6 hypos in the clutch and the other 20 (!) were normals. I was originally going to keep all the hypos but really need to downsize so I have narrowed it to a 1.1. It was tough, but these two are the nicest. Female pictured first in deli and then male.

Very nice keepers!

[Tula_Montage]

Oh they are lovely! A bit like crimsons, but I suppose that would be from carol's miami influence?

[ghosthousecorns]

AFAIK there is no Huddleston in these guys, they are from my Serpenco het male and a banded female that was a random herp show find. Here's a pic of the hook up... I do think they will mix in well with those Huddleston Miamis though!
Some of the clutch got more banding than others, I really like the banded pattern on their mom.

OOOOOOhhh my mistake, sorry lass :)

[ghosthousecorns]

No biggy, they do look rather miami-ish!
For the heck of it I took a couple of pics of a couple of random normals from the same clutch. (Feeding today) I think I will be wholesaling them, seems like a shame but I can't keep them all :rolleyes:

[Nanci]

Those guys are gorgeous! I love the banded look.

[bekers71]

Jen they are some very nice keepers. Too bad we can't keep all the babies we like. :)

[sarcare]

OOooh, very nice--I love the banding!

[ghosthousecorns]

I like the banding, but my choice on the hypos was based more on the brighter colors and the fact they are good eaters. I was not expecting this female to have 26 eggs, whoa...I suspected she was hypo but from the results she is only het. I have a feeling the normals are going to look like hypos in a couple of months, though. Their mom is realy light for being "just a normal"

[MohrSnakes]

So...what happend to the other hypos..... :sidestep:

Very nice pair!

[ghosthousecorns]

I still have two of them.. and I think ten of the normals.. in varying stages of taking f/t, wanting live, and tease feeding *but they snap the pinkies right up out of my fingers!
And I sold the other two.
Wholesale lot ?

[or1olesfan]

great looking snakes you've got there!

[RavenSpirit360]

Very pretty corns :)

[Jeff Linkchorst]

Nice Hypos Jen. but i would keep 1 more female just to increase my odds of a cinder if I was you.

[ghosthousecorns]

Yeah I would, but I have a lot of hypo keepers that are poss het from 07...Running out of room! I do want to continue with the banded thing, if they are het cinder thats a bonus :)

[Pasodama]

Very nice pair of keepers!:)

[Weebonilass]

Sheeeesh I was expecting to see Ghosts :) Nice pair of something other than Ghosts though :) Look forward to seeing what they produce in a few years :)

[Calift]

Aww they look like great keepers to me! And those normals are nice looking as well.

[ghosthousecorns]

Ginger, I do have a keeper pair of ghosts too! "Weirdo" and "Frank" are due to eat in the next couple of days and I will photograph them then.
Thanks to everybody for the comments:)

"Weirdo"???????? Poor thang... she should come live with me :)

[ghosthousecorns]

Took updates today. The first snake is the male, the second is the female, and the third one is a normal clutchmate that I decided to hang onto as well!

[ghosthousecorns]

Took update pics of these guys! The male and female hypo in that order...

[ghosthousecorns]

The normal sure is a hateling

[Jeff Linkchorst]

They keep getting better looking Jen... Congrats

[GriffinL]

Did u sell any to a store out in the Los Angeles area. Mine looks actually like the pictures.
: )

[Rowdy]

If only we could keep them all

[danielle]

Please tell me the obnoxious not funny spammer has been banned. Back to your thread Jen they are beautiful I wish I lived closer!!

[MohrSnakes]

See the word "banned" under their username? ;)

I can't delete messages from personal forums though...my power only extends so far....:sidestep:

[ghosthousecorns]

I'm on it! Thanks... And here I thought someone had something to say about my bandies... it does remind me I should get pics of them again though

they are in this thread... the 09 clutch of siblings to them is also due to hatch in about 10 days :D

They are Nice looking Jen. How are they doing? Any news on the eggs?

[ghosthousecorns]

Aww thanks Jeff! These bandeds are growing like weeds, the normal is still the pissy one but all 3 eat like pigs. My ghost stripes are growing a bit slower especially the male. He will take live but f/t he turns up his nose at. I really should work on converting him but he's so pretty I just give in and feed him live every time LOL.
The eggs are getting close, but the fact my incubator came unplugged makes it a bit harder to say exactly when they will hatch. The mom of my first clutch looks like she is going to double clutch and I just gave her a nest box this morning. Stay tuned I will post pics as soon as I get a pippy or two. I'm getting antsy here ;)

[ghosthousecorns]

Well, I finally took some update pics of these two. Got some belly shots this time. Here is the male first:

[ghosthousecorns]

And the female, much harder to photograph, the male is a ham lol. Ooops I need to vacuum :rolleyes:

[ghosthousecorns]

the normal clutchmate. She is not very cooperative either.

[The_Thunderer]

I think this is the first time I've seen this thread, Jen. GREAT looking bandeds. They're coming along GREAT!

The normal... is uber nice too!

Grey carpet too??? If you ghost stripes ever get out, how are you ever gonna find them on that carpet?? LOL.

[Jenstar]

They are turning out beautiful... I love the males belly.

[ghosthousecorns]

Well. it's been a while and I just took new pics of the trio these guys are turning out awesome, they are so red

The male

[ghosthousecorns]

the female, hard to believe she is going into shed she is still so bright

[ghosthousecorns]

and the normal

[sweet~nichole~marie]

Wow, they look great, Jen. I really love the female's pattern, and both have such great color!

[diamondlil]

Beautiful snakes, congrats on breeding them! Nice to see them growing and changing!

[ghosthousecorns]

Well it's been a while since I took pics of them but I still have these three guys. I did the blue background thing this time around. First two pics are the male hypo, then two of the female hypo and lastl one is the normal. I really like the male hypo the best of the three. The normal is still evil.

[diamondlil]

Great update Jen, their colours are incredible!

[Jessicat]

Uh oh, we might need to coin a new term for an agro yearling/ sub adult!

The Hypo Banded pair is looking great! I love how colorful they are.
