Happy Birthday to Rich!

Happy birthday and thanks for your wonderful dedication to raising and exploring the possibilities of cornsnake genetics. We have all greatly benefited from your work.

On behalf of all my beautiful Serpenco corns and myself, happy birthday, Rich!

Thanks!

Yesterday wasn't all that good of a day, so I have decided that I will make some other, better day, a 'virtual birthday'. Heck if the federal government can move around national holidays, I certainly can move my birthday if I want to

so here is a small present for you. a bit late but I hope you like them :-)
they are from a friend of mine, breed in the uk.

male at the left, female at the right

and this is the doughter...( don´t worry about the bright red. it´s the pic...in reality it looks not that bright!)

Thanks, Pewter.

You're just trying to make me regret my decision to get rid of most of my Miami Phase corns, right?

No,

that was just coincidence. I thought only that they where very beautifull. he also had other very beautiful animals but not corns!
and you allreaddy know all of my animals...
so would it be a nice presend if i would post an old pic of some of my average butters??? no :-)

but Rich...I think it´s the right way to sell some of the "normal" corns.
it´s maybe not the best comparison but i also sold a lot of my corns this year to have more space for projekts.
- for example this miami -
it´s hard but there is no other way for me. i just have one room for me and my snakes....I have space for 20-40 animals...and I have the time for ~10 adult females/clutches.
so what would you choose if you do this not for making money???
a pair of butters to produce a lot of "booring" butters...
(sorry for that they are of course not booring!!!)
or a pair of trippel het´s for hypo lavender striped or something like that...

That is exactly my dilemma. I find myself holding myself back from doing some interesting projects because of cage space. So why keep all the normal low end stuff instead of forging forward into new uncharted territory?

Of course I'll always keep a pair or two around in case I find I need a Miami Phase, or a Ghost, or an Okeetee for some reason as an ingredient to some concoction I want to make up, but I can't see any reason to produce dozens of clutches of them any longer.

Thanks.

A very special bithday wish to Rich.

Your birthday is the same as my moms! And she is one super person.

If you didn't have the type of day you were hoping for, wait until your unbirthday day and celebrate then. Six months after your birthing day. The corns should be asleep and not paying attention by then. Happy Birthday. Sam :0)
