I just gotta ask...how do you check for estrus in a mouse?
And that being asked: how do you do it on 400-1000, or however many you have in posts that day, on a daily basis? Last time I observed, the males check by licking the vaginal opening and continually sniffing the genital area.
Anyway, I think Quigs asked some very pertinent questions. Hopefully you can muster up some quasi-truthful answers this time.

well she could have meant it to be a Green Anaconda but that is common knowledge of what it is and with her intellectual level she should have known better and used the Latin name!

A) my mice are number banded, estrous is calculated per mouse in a computer program and any breeder should know that you tell when a mouse is in estrous easily, as she will "drop" a mucous plug upon reaching estrous... with the number of mice I have, however, it would be impossible to know which female dropped the mucous, so I have a computer program (called NOVA, on the market in Jan I hope) which calculates the estrous percentages, and lets me know that, say, EP9901 is in estrous on Dec 1st... its not 100% correct, but its close.
B) the boa is my EX boyfriends, its an Emerald Tree Boa (cordallus caninus) that he has had for a LOT of years... and if you want to question its length.. talk to him, not me.
C) the boa lives in New York, and last time I checked New York is not a part of Canada.
Really? Better tell those emeralds that they aren't allowed to be green anymore then! Hop to it!

For the grouchy people:
Explaining Estrous!
THIS is an Emerald Tree Boa (OMG its GREEN!)
Emerald Tree Boa info!
Shane's is longer than their "average length" but how many on here have corns longer than average? And how many people are taller than average? Think you get my point.
Types of breeding (oh golly me, look.. the type I do)

Yes Quigs.. I did say AROUND 1400 one day.. and 2000 a few days later. The word AROUND can grammatically be used in the same sense as approximately. The mice live 1500 miles away from me, I couldn't exactly run out and count them.
And YES I am rude... deal with it... AKA do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You folks are to to me, so you get it back.
If you read any texts on mouse breeding, 4 hours IS a breeding day.
The females live in a HOVEL, not a tank. Its a platfrom, with 4 inch tall sides... no walls, not enclosed.

Is a generalization.. there are a LOT of breeds of mice... and they all are ready to breed at a different age.
Quoted: These numbers just don't add up. We've produced somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 mice this year alone and have no where near the number of breeders you claim to have (400 breeding pairs or 1000s, depending on which post you want to recall). And before you ramble about selectively breeding pet and show mice, therefore you don't accumulate the number we "prey item" breeders do. Why would you have 1000s of mice (producing as high as 17-25 count litters, as you seemingly are bragging about in another post from just a day earlier) if you weren't going for numbers?
Who said I'm not going for numbers? I get $35 per mouse for the fancier ones.. of course I'm going for numbers.

Please disclose the reference source for this, I'd love to read it! (Of course, I know that won't happen.)
Disclose the reference? Ummm HELLO? Thats the title of the book. I got it from the CVMA axillary for $125.95 CAD
Quoted: Oh, and I did not include some of the trival things. Such as when you argued with Katie about Hagen being a Canadian company. In fact, Hagen is a international company, however their world headquarters are located in Montreal, Canada and was founded there by Mr. Rolf C. Hagen in 1955 as a one man operation. Here's a link to further your education on the subject.
Actually I said its a US BASED company... AKA the factories that produce the goods are located in the US.
As for Emmy (the exes boa) HE says shes close to 15 feet, ask him how he measures her... I have no idea. All I know is she huge, and fat, and bites peoples butts.

*stretches* I'm out!
Males live in homes like these
Females hovel was built by:
-building a base from 2 X 4s and those metal thingies (no idea what they are called) they use to ease in attaching studs to houses
-plywood on top of that
-2 X 6 for the walls, only 4 inches is above the plywood
-epoxied on veneer (ours is black, it was on sale and its only there to stop urine from getting into the wood, even tho most of my mice use a litter box like these )
-Lots of these no pic... looks like a plastic igloo tho
-food bowls, and water dishes of course... and many wheels for exercise

Most people when they say boa they are referring to Boa Constrictors and not ETB and I would give up my left Testy to see a 15 ETB

How can you care for (feed, check estrus, and clean cages), breed individual pairs, attend mouse shows, and sell all of the babies from "1400-2000" mice if they are 1500 miles away with school and all of your lab responsibilities?

I did not want to even comment on the boa thing. And I really don't think that I will make any more post on this thread because Gintha is obviously full of "it" and is not going to admit that she lied. She will just keep putting the blame on her ex or say that we are to lazy to look thing up our self.
Funny I seem to be reminded of several other people that have been banned from this forum. :cheers: :shrugs:

*sigh* you call me a liar for no proof, I give you the proof and that makes me a liar? *shakes head*
cornskanekid92... I specifically stated it was NOT a normal boa, but a different type of boa. I figured that would tell you it wasn't a boa constrictor.
