I've been away for far too long... When I woke up on Valentines day, this is what I saw hatching out: It's a Pink Pastel Anaconda! This was a complete surprise for us as I had bred our Superconda "Twix" to one of our double het Pink Pastel and Axanthic males just wanting to produce...

Yay! My unexpected double clutch of Anaconda x Blond/Stripe phase has finally started to hatch out. Unfortunately only 4 eggs out of the 13 originally laid survived, some had major fungus issues which were treated but without any remediation and the others, who knows... :shrugs: So far 2 have...

It's been a very interesting last couple of days here as I've had a second clutch of Anacondas hatching from an unrelated female to the first clutch we hatched out this summer. The mother for the first clutch is a supposed 100% het Albino that, for all intents and purposes, is a common variety...

I know I don't post here much these days but I thought I would share our excitement over hatching out our very first Anaconda Hognose'. While mine aren't the most outstanding specimens that are being produced out there, they are still ours and that's all that matters to me. :) This is the first...

I recently started pairing up my Western Hognose together for the upcoming breeding season. Naturally with these snakes, I always get some interesting shots. Enjoy! Pumpkin (Albino) and Ares (Het Axanthic): Athena (Axanthic) and Berry (Pink Pastel): Berry and Sherry: And for fun...

While I do not currently have these in my possession (too cold to ship), this is a pair I bought from Dan Grubb recently and will hopefully receive next week once it warms up a bit. Female: Male: To be honest, these little guys floored me when I saw them as I've never seen a Gray-Banded...

I also posted this in my birthday thread but thought these little guys deserved a thread all their own. Sorry for the double posting of this... So far my birthday has started off most excellent with the hatching of some "special" birthday hoggies. These are special because they are a double het...

Well, Twix is on her way to putting some weight on. She's finally grown so accustomed to us that whenever she's hungry and see's us, she goes right up to the front of her tub and squirms about no longer afraid of us. She's definitely a very personable little hoggie. This is her third time eating...

After much anticipation, we received one of my wife's dream snakes today from our friend Brent Bumgardner, a female Superconda. Picking our jaws up off of the floor after having seen pictures of the first Superconda, we knew that if we ever had the chance to pick one up, we were going to get...

I originally posted this on Fauna but thought I'd share my experiences and concerns here too considering not everybody here is a member of Fauna. To save retyping what I've already emailed to my Rep, I've quoted it here: Today I received a call from my Rep in regards to my email. He asked me...

First off, I'm in complete shock over this. This is about a clutch of 5 South American Tri-Color Hognose eggs that were laid all the way back on December 18. I was really anticipating them to hatch by mid-February and around that time, the eggs even started to dimple which caused me to believe...

We woke up on 12/18 to this nice little surprise from our female Bi-Color South American Hognose, Noodles. We've been pairing her up with Twister, one of our male Bi-Color's for several months now and it looks like something finally came of it. We're especially excited since losing our other...

Well, after seeing several threads surfacing about other people either enquiring or building their own rack systems, I figured I'd show off my latest one after spending months of redesigning (in comparison to my last one) and building it. I finally finished it all up and put it into action last...

Well, it happened again! We went to the Unique Animal Expo last weekend with the mind set that we were not going to buy any more snakes. We didn't get to the show until late, 2 hours before they were to close and our only reason for even going was to just catch up with some friends and maybe...

I know I had posted these in another thread, but as that thread was area/topic specific, I figured these snakes deserved a thread of their own :rolleyes: Anywho, as I mentioned previously, I wanted to buy this pair a year ago at a local show but at the time did not have the money. I figured...
