Long overdue 2014 update

I feel like I've been absent from these forums forever, and in reality it's sorta been that way. Having a newborn in the house keeps you from accomplishing the simplest things like brushing your teeth...so when it comes to snakes, they're the first to go on the back burner. Well, I'm finally finding some time to play catch up, breed some snakes, and take some photos. I've missed poking my nose into the forums on a daily basis so hopefully this is the start of some more time spent around here.

This is the only saffron I held back out of two last year. Her dad is a saffron, so I thought it'd be good to have a female version of him around too.

This saffron motley was a complete surprise to me, as it was unknown to me that the parents had a 50% chance of being het caramel. The parents were classics het for five genes, so this little man is my 1/256...my first ever!

This guy I simply love. I haven't seen many cinder motleys, even though I know they're not that rare, but it just makes his appearance so unique to me.

I'd never seen a female buttermint until this little girl hatched out. She hatched from the same clutch as the saffron motley above, so once again, a caramel surprise. At first I thought she was simply a peppermint, but with each successive shed there's no doubt in my mind she's a buttermint. Plus she has a 66% chance of being het sunkissed motley!

These next two came from the same clutch. I was hoping that'd I'd get lucky and produce a moonstone blood, but I hit the jackpot with this beautiful female hypo moonstone blood pictured first below. The sire is a plasma het hypo anery and the dam a hypo blood het anery lavender.

Here's her plasma brother. The sire I swear is a redcoat, and I feel like this little man is going to take after his dad.

Lastly are the next two strawberry ultramel anerys. The male, the second pictured, is simply unreal. There has to be something else to him, but I'm not sure what. His sister, who's pictured first, is stunning enough, but only after a year, if the male keeps progressing as he is...watch out!

That's it for tonight, but I'll be updating as often as possible.
 
Wow! I couldn't even pick a favorite, those are all such great looking snakes!! Beautiful.
 
Continued...

Here's another round of last year's hold backs.

The sunkissed gene is really fun and variable; with respect to pattern, color, and attitude. The male below is a sunkissed het caramel lavender motley. It's going to be fun breeding him to one of his sibs, as the morphs will be so variable.

This ice I was planning on selling, but she's so darn pretty and she has a 33% chance of being homozygous caramel, that I think it'll be fun to raise her and test breed her.

Last year was the first year I produced sunkissed tesseras, and they have not disappointed as they've aged. The first is the male and the second the female. The female is darker...and really didn't want to sit for her photoshoot!

Striped hypo blood...anyone?

This animal is what I consider a perfect caramel. I love this girl. Her pattern and colors contrast beautifully. She's het sunkissed ultra motley. Those'll be some fun offspring.

Here's a pair of sunkissed anery motleys. The male is first, followed by the female. I truly love how the front half is going yellowish orange. Oh yeah, they hated their photoshoots!

One of my big goals over the next few years is to produce a striped lava butter. Here's a striped amel het caramel lava. I wish I had a striped lava het amel caramel...but hey, lava butters are easy to tell apart from butters.

I'll end with a stunning sunkissed blood. Sadly, her mother was the only snake I lost after waking everyone up from their winter sleep. She and another female are being held back to replace their mother.

I'll try to post more tomorrow.
 
Fantastic animals and of course great photos too!!

Sorry to hear you lost one during cooling :(

I look forward to more pics....soon ;)
 
wow, nice buddy.. I am really liking the sunkissed anery motleys..
Sorry for the loss of your female..
 
Incredible specimens! Thanks for the update.

All the sunkissed stuff is simply amazing. I love to see what sunkissed does to everything. And those ultramel anerys are awesome too, they are super orange.
I can't even imagine what kind of crazy stuff is going to come out within the next few years.
 
Great snakes, I especially love the cinder motley. You say they are not that uncommon, but I have had no luck producing one yet and to me there seem not to be many around. Those sunkissed tessera are beauties too, you have a great collection.
