pictures or the breeding pair yo

i know i said no pictures until next week some time, but here are a few pictures of the breeding pair..
we have

Luna (female)

AtomO (male)

and just for fun.. here is my bad boy, and probably my favorite out of my animals.
Frank!

that snake will bit you i said...

that's ok, i wanna hold him anyway she said..

now that looks like build up of blood, but that's actually red flesh and the littlest amount of blood. it didn't bleed much, but man he laid that hand open!

perch holders..

hey everyone! found these at the home depot and thought i would share my thoughts.

so all they are is rod holders for closets and such, nothing new i know, but the first picture the rod holder will hold a rod/ pvc tube or some such perch up to  1 3/8" and is white plastic.. that's probably plenty big for any size perch but for me i thought the larger perch would be more accommodating for my needs. i like that its wood, which feels more natural to me, and i don't use pvc tubing for perches, i use sugar maple branches i cut, which aren't always available in .5 .75. and 1." dia.. 

so i thought the wood appearance would be more aesthetically pleasing and the larger size would accommodate a broader range of potential tree "type" perches.

thanks,

good morning america

dang ol' man! september 2014 was my last post yo.. lazy much?

so here is a brief update.. i now have 14 snakes, 11 green tree pythons and 3 colubrids, nothing special.. but whats really exciting is that my first breeding project is underway. i have never bred snakes before and leave it to me to try to breed among the hardest animals in the snake hobby. but i paired up AtomO and Luna back in february, and since then, i observed courtship, mating, follicle development, ovulation and a hormonal blue color change. currently she is in (pre lay) shed and should be laying 14-23 days after sloughing her skin. i am so bad at documenting things and taking pictures.. although i do have some pictures of the courtship, but none on anything else. however, very soon i will be building an incubator, very closely copying Damon Saliceies's design and will be posting that on the blog within the coming week. since i have been SO lazy about keeping up with this blog, as well as documenting this 1st breeding attempt i will be making a stronger effort to discipline myself to post atleast once a week.

no pictures this week, HOWEVER, i will have plenty for you next week, as well as a step by step diy build of the incubator, yo.

until then,

be good... or be good at it.
