Day 63, got my first pip tonight! Super excited because I love the stripey babies! Pairing was a classic stripe poss het lavender x hypo lavender stripe, and this first pippy doesn't really look like a normal to me!

I'm getting frustrated with genetics and morph determinations already! I thought my current pippies proved that one of my clutches last year was fathered by the younger/first snake I bred her to (he was a yearling, only did it once, and no evidence, so i tried another male who bred several...

My first clutch started pipping on Saturday (day 54!) and is sure taking their time making their grand entrances. First baby was out quickly on Saturday, second out Monday, 2 more out today with 2 more pipping and 5 still cooking. Definitely proving that there's a temp gradient on my "shelf"...

This little guy is a 2010 fire bred by Beth/starsevol that I got as part of a nonfeeder lot (remember the auction? no one bid against me!). Out of the 6 nonfeeders, 3 began eating pretty quickly and 3 were force fed tail sections. Of the 3 difficult ones, 2 perished and one picked up. This...

This is the first year I'll be producing any real number of hatchlings, and quite possibly the last as we'll be moving again next summer and don't know where. My corns have produced quite a bit better than expected for first timers, and I have decided to try to wholesale at least half of the...

Had time to bring a few of the corns outside to take some new photos. They really just wanted to wander and were not really cooperative, but I got a few decent shots. First is a 2010 Fire who was part of a nonfeeder package I bought (of which 4 of the 6 are now super eaters!). He's actually...

Well she FINALLY shed tonight and little Marley was more than happy to see her in her new skin. Truth be told he was happy to see her in her old skin, but she wasn't ready. Anyway, first hookup for my last pair of the season! Hypo Lav Stripe male is from Walter; beautiful snow motley is Taylor's!

Ran across a deal for a choice of 2 hotels in Daytona Beach for $75 for 3 nights...don't know the details of the deal, but follow this link: http://www.dealon.com/referrals/41611/ Choose Washington DC. Looks like a great deal...I'd book it myself but unfortunately my Daytona attendance is...

I recently hatched out two creamsicle stripes from cream stripe x hypo lav (surprise hets i guess). first year breeding for both, small clutch, wound up with only 2 good eggs (and 2 more incubating from her surprise second clutch). I was gone the week leading up to their hatch date to be...

Just wanted to show off a few pics of a gray banded kingsnake I picked up in St Louis last week. She's almost 4 years old and is super tame. Not sure what I'm going to do with her, but it was too good of a deal to pass up! She came with all her accessories and tank. Anyone else have any of...

Can someone tell me how to differentiate between ultramel and hypo and ultramel anery and ghost? I have some hatchlings out of a female who was sold to me as an ultramel anery and was bred with a butter stripe once and a hypo lav once. I was expecting amels/ultramels if the butter was the dad...

So, I bred for two clutches this year and oddly think it's fairly easy to morph ID the babies but am confused/surprised by the outcome and wanted some input (o: Clutch one: creamsicle stripe female x hypo lav male (ph anery/amel/br). She was a virgin and they had 3 confirmed hookups 4/17...

Just amazing how much these guys change in a year! Rivet went from about 10g last July to ~140g now, and she's gone from very dark to a weirdly speckled, anti-contrast color with pinkish white sides. Are everybody's granites speckly? I thought it was so weird! Shown on last few pics. Sorry...

Just received an email for a $10 coupon. I don't think it's a unique code, so several people should be able to use it if anyone cares to. I just got an order in a few weeks ago so it will (hopefully) be a while before I have to do it again. Code is RP0510 and is valid thru 5/27/10. I...

Not sure if that's the right way to say what I'm looking for, but I'm looking for a high white RO female that has a clean white background (candy cane). Preference for red, but orange is fine too as long as it's pure corn. I have a miami male (h amel) with pretty nice borders and I'd like to...
