Some neat pix from today's hatching......

[Jeff_Favelle]

Not trying to bore you Corey or Mark, ha ha, so just look away! :D But for others, whom this is new to, check it out!

6 eggs in total, with 4 Pastels, and 2 normals. Some of the Pastels are just crazy-looking. I can see why they call them Pastels.

In the egg:

Congrats

Marisa

[David Kwok]

Beautiful....

[HetForHuman]

Really Really nice Jeff. Congrats man.

Someday i will have newborns. Someday.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Thanks all!! Few more clutches to hatch in early October, so there still could be more fun this season!! Woo-hoo! :D

[Corey Woods]

Jeff,

Congrats on the pastels! Keep back the ones with the light heads.....I've found they turn out to be the best looking adults.

Corey

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha, only if they are females man! LOL!

Thanx! :)

[Invictus]

ARGH! You might turn me into a BP person, Jeff. Usually I can't tell the difference between normals and pastels. Yours are just glowing. I'm super impressed.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Thankx bro (or should I say Snow? As in Al). It is night and day when you see them in person. I'm not joking when I say that the pictures don't do their colors justice. Ian was just over and he couldn't believe these were the same snakes he saw on his computer.

I have to say, for the low amount of money a Pastel costs, it was the best investment so far.........

[sapphire_moon]

Absolutely Amazing!!

[Clownfishie]

Absolutely stunning Jeff! :D Congrats!!! You'd better keep a close eye on those guys when I come over to visit, or one just might find it's way home in my pocket ;) :) Hehe...

[Tim_Cranwill]

Gahd... all I can do is swear so I guess I'll keep it short... ;)

[morph]

Hey congrats again guys you deserve it. Still thinking about switchin over to the garters.

Scott

[lilyskip]

beaauuuuuuuuuuuutiful.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha we should totally do garters man. Ball Pythons suck lemons!

[HetForHuman]

I think im gonna have to get a pastel female and maybe breed her with this guy.

what do ya think?

[Jeff_Favelle]

That would be the SMARTEST thing to do bro!!

[HetForHuman]

Well i think ill be talking with you Jeff.

give me a shout on MSN.

since i never see you on there.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha, I never have time man! Always on the goooooo...............

[Bristen]

Jeff,

you should keep some of those orangish/pinkish pastels you have, then produce snows out of them.. I'm wondering if that would produce a snow ball with pinkish/salmon patches? Has anyone done or thought of this yet? Just wondering.. I posted this question on another site, but got no replies so I'm trying here instead.

Thanks,
Bristen.

[daver676]

Wow Jeff great pastels... I already have a ball, but do you breed cornsnakes?

Dave

[Linds]

Little beauties! Congrats! Love that first pic :p

[SerpentLust]

Gorgeous Jeff!!!

[Jeff_Favelle]

NO, sorry Dave, I don't have any corns in my collection anymore. All I have are fond memories of then though!

Bristen, I don't think you could produce a snow from them. The yellow is too intense. They would be killer albinos though! I'd call them Sunglows!

[Matt_K]

awesome job Jeff! They look great

[honduranfreekk]

Congrats Jeff they look great good job :)

ok, I know what you mean now... so faded albinos would be better for snows... So, does this mean that nobody has produced an albino pastel yet? That is strange because there are so many pastels and albinos out there, I would of thought somebody would of done it by now. I would say we'll be hearing about such a cross very soon (i.e. this year or next year) I would assume.

Good luck with those pastels!

Bristen.

[Corey Woods]

Bristen,

I believe this is the first year Pastels 100% het Albino have been produced (Both Ralph Davis and Greg Graziani have produced them). So, you should see some Albino Pastels in 2 years.

I'm working on Pastel Caramel Albinos.....I hope to produce some in 2 years?......It's a work in progress anyways.

Corey

[jay76]

Whooooa Jeff! Those are absolutely amazing!! Congrats man! :D

[annoying_alien]

Totally awesome. The first pic is kinda
disturbing, because it is zoomed so close,
but those are some cool pastels!

[snakemann87]

.............DROOOOOOL!! Those are SWEEEET!!!!! Congrats man1 i CANT WAIT TO BREED MINE YAAAA!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Corey, what are you gonna call the T+ Pastel?? That would be a killer animal!!

But don't you think that the Pastel Albinos should be called "Sunglows"? I mean a hypo albino is just going to look like an albino. Right? The only reason the sunglow Boa looks cool is because of the Salmon in the hypo. Well there's no extra yellow or red with Ball Hypos. So it should just be denoted as a "Hybino".

[Corey Woods]

Jeff,

I'm not sure what the T+ Pastels will be called. If I produce them I'll just make things simple and call them a Pastel Caramel. Maybe not the best move as far as marketing but I like to let the animals sell themselves instead of giving them a flashy name.

We'll have to wait and see what the pastel albinos look like. I think they will be neat......time will tell what happens.

As for the Albino Ghost....I think it will be a very bright ghost if you use a high contrast albino combined with the NERD line orange ghost (which I believe is the best Orange Ghost line out their). I think that animal will glow much like the Caramel Glow (which is a Caramel Orange Ghost).

Corey

[Jeff_Favelle]

Why can't it just be 5 years from now, so we can see all this stuff? LOL.

[Batdad]

Sweet pics man Beatiful looking snakes:)

whoa... longer than I expected.. but this will be some killer combination.. it will most likely produce a mostly bright yellow Ball Python I would guess.. since Pastels don't have as much black as a regular Ball Python.. I'm surprised at how long some of these morphs are taking to show up.. it must certainly be related to the small sized clutches that Ball Pythons produce. Very motivating to get into the game though, since there are so many possible combinations :-)

oh yeah.. why stop now? heh, that's some combination... We can only image what it will look like.. something like a Super Caramel Glow would be an appropriate name I would think... anyways, can't wait to see stuff like that.

Well Corey, I personnally prefer flashy names because they are shorter! heh, that Pastel Caramel Albino you mentionned has a long name... the only problem I have, is I have no imagination to come up with those flashy names hah! Anyways, do keep us posted, sounds quite fascinating!

it's hard to tell what an albino hypo animal would look like.. the reason I mention that, is that for example, in corn snakes, hypo snow corns tend to have that "coral" look (lots and lots of pink/peach). I don't know if the coral boa is a hypo albino or not, but mixing in the hypo gene with albino or snow may create some unexpected results. Of course, the only way to know is to breed them. The odds are probably greater for it to produce a mostly yellow Ball Python (not talking about T+ albino however, was talking about the T- albino).

Anyways, I'm yapping too much here.. I get all excited when we get into this genetic stuff. Sorry for the long post :-)

Later Correy/Jeff.

Bristen.

[snakemann87]

Hey Jeff those are great! How much are they?? One day I'll buy one off ya man don't worry! Any Anery Boas??:)

[Jeff_Favelle]

Heh heh snakemann, we're just charging the going rate ($1500 males, $2500 females).

Anery Boas? None yet! I'm going to skip them though and go right to snows and ghosts!! Anerys are only $350 max, and I can only have a finite amount of snakes, so I'll go right to ghosts and snows!

[honduranfreekk]

Hey Jeff so are you saying you have a female for sale bro ;) lol

[Jeff_Favelle]

Email me.

[honduranfreekk]

[Jeff_Favelle]

[David Kwok]

Hey HF, Zoolander's mine.... hahah hahha

Dave

[Jeff_Favelle]

Kwok, I ain't goin' man! I'm "showed" out this year. I'm moving 10 animals a week sitting in front of my computer, so going to another show just makes no sense. Plus I'd feel bad carting all those snakes for 4 days to another show so soon. They all just started eating again anyways. So I'm officially camping out here for the rest of the year! Yahoooo!!!

Shoot me off an email when you get back man. I wanna hear all about it! And hey, are you gonna have albinos next year? We gotta talk.

[HetForHuman]

What not goin anymore.

are you sure it wasnt because me and Invictus were gonna hit you over the head with a sock full of quarters? LOL

Ahhh well i guess ill see ya next year unless someday i take a cruise out to the island.
And turn your damn MSN on for once man, Jesus H. HEHE

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha man, its my dam computer. I was trying to FTP some large-a$$ files and it crashed and rebooted while I was downstairs feeding.

Damn puters.

[David Kwok]

I see your point Jeff, but isn't going to shows all about.... dare I say it socializing? Just think, you'll be missing sub zero temps in Calgary.... hahah ;)
Anyway... I might have albinos next year, I have a few pos het females that look like they will be ready to go. dammit, you made me say it, now the project is jinxed. :P

I'll give you an email when I get back for sure.

Dave

[Jeff_Favelle]

Woo hoo! I jinxed the project, I jinxed the project!!

[honduranfreekk]
