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.

new pictures and update

hey every one, its been a minute since my last post everything is fine and all my animals are doing well and look great, i thought i would do a quick picture post.

first off, remember this little guy?


well this is what he looks like now!




here are the rest of the males in my collection.












both my females are in shed right now.. also my short tail python has a shaddy disposition so i decided not to bother him. although he is a beautiful animal too..

i ordered a new cage, and i am looking forward to it. its for the above mentiond STP but i like the cage designe and if its as sturdy as i hope it is i may switch all my cages to these new ones. atleast i am going to buy one for Gorgous George. anyway its due to arive in 7 freaken weeks.. but stay tuned for a cage review.

later

ok, update time.. so here are a few shots of my colllection. my two no name neonates.. so cute.. 



obviously the little Aru animal i got from Wolf Herp. Kris is an awesome guy! thanks Kris!!


my Rico blue project animal with a bad skin fold  :( still one of my precious jewels even if he does have a horrible skin deformity.



my Aru type female Luna, in her new cage. she is just so beautiful


frank, my fav! he is a killer animal. Aru by biak out cross. love him!


Kronos, beautiful male.


of course, AtomO! he is a perfect GTP.


the cages. looken good. i need to get a heating element in the bottom right and move AtomO in to his new cage.. poor guy..


who are these two beauties you may ask? why they are soon to be the newest acquisitions to the collection. the fist being a yellow neo, Greg Maxwell linage. beautiful female and the second is just a Lereh x Biak outcross. i am super excited to add these two gorgeous females to the collection!! the yellow dorsal marking s on the one below, i believe are going to stay. she has blue, black, green, and yellow.. i cant wait to see her in person!



ok, ok.. obviously this isn't a GTP.. this is a Borneo short tail Python, aka blood python. his name is Beefcake and he is totally awesome! i picked him up at the Tampa Repticon when i was there to get cages. i Love short tail Pythons, they are the perfect "big snake" but without being a big snake! he will get 5-7' and weigh an astronomical amount. he is awesome.. and he needs a girlfriend.
