I finally got what I was aiming for the poor mans way....lavender motleys. Russ

There has been a lot of discussion over in the "For Sale" forum about the pricing of corn snakes. Hurley mentioned taking this discussion elsewhere and I believe that was a good idea since I was just adding to Simon's thread and not inquiring about the snakes. If you would be so kind as to...

Just took some pics of the corns I'll be breeding this summer. I've slimmed down my corn collection greatly to work with other pits and more thayeri but I just couldn't do without my bloodreds, granites, lavenders and some hold over project corns. I should produce the following: Hypos Hypo...

Is it just me or is Kingsnake.com classifieds and the entire webpage for that matter running slow or what? Are the servers over there finally bogged to capacity or what? I've always enjoyed jumping back and forth between fauna; corns; and kingsnake but now kingsnake is just to slow and I'm on...

just some recent photos of some of my snakes. The bloodred anery A came from Brad McDonald and is a smoker. The other pic is one of 7 hypo lavenders I hatched out this summer. I was really surprised to get that many hypo lavenders from a 10 egg clutch. The best part is two ate the first time...

Here are a few pics of some of my guys/girls. Enjoy. Russ

Here they come:)

These are my anery bloods that were produced by Brad McDonald in 2003. They really have a adifferent color depending upon their sex. The male is much more pastel looking than the female. The female is a stark black on silver (hope the pic captures that). Russ

I just got this female from Ronda at Northwest Herps and she gladly served it up to my male. The female is het hypo and the males is het hypo and anery. Hoping for a hypo or three:) Russ

Future breeder. I just couldn't get this guy interested in any of my females. Guess he is still to young. Russ

one of my bloods that will go next year. I didn't even have her in with males this year and she swelled up w/ eggs anyways. Russ

I know it's hard to tell from the pics but these eggs were laid by my Brooks female and they have the strangest yellow hue to them but seem find in every other way. Any thoughts/opinions? Thanks, Russ

Finally after moving 50 something snakes 480 miles I've settled in and have my camera working. More pics to follow.

These are some of my holdback milk motley corns from 2002. They have not been pushed since I've been on deployment so they are smaller than I would have liked them to be by this time but duty called so.......maybe next year. They are het for amel. Russ

One of my little projects from last summer. The emoryi influence is really neat...color wise. I'd be interested to see a lavender with emoryi blood if anyone has one. I know a couple of other guys said they did this cross last year. Russ
