North Mexican pines

[Janiman]

Thought you all might like to take a look at the pair of pines I got last year from Ryan and Sheila at Scales Zoo. The female is about 5' now and BOY are the colours ever coming out! She rarely does the tail buzz any more, and is a JOY to handle. I just love this pair. Next year I should be ready to breed...

...and here's the male. Still a sweeyheart and "pineing" away for his girl (hasn't started eating yet after brumation).

Nice! :D

They don't keep those colors, do they?

[Janiman]

Actually, they are considered one of the "ugly ducklings" of the snake world. Those colours intensify from dull brown babies into the stunning colours they have now.

Really? I thought it would be the other way around. That goes to show you how much I know about Pines.

Pretty sweet looking pair. Good luck with them! :)

Super-nice!! Wish I could find a pair.

Thanks for sharing (and adding yet ANOTHER specie to my "wanted list", LOL!).

Great stuff.

Nice pines! Hope your breeding plans pine out (um, I mean pan out). Sweet colours

OOOh!!! That's the male I wanted!!!!! I love his faded blotches.

I got Vanan's male mexican pine he was selling, and I am sure glad I have him!!

Put me on your list when you have babies!

[Janiman]

Katt - I gotta tell you, if it weren't for the cost and hastle of shipping I might have bought that one myself. Gotta' love these babies, EH? What happened to the other female, do you know?

[Katt]

We got the pair.

Glad you didn't get cuz now I have him! Muhahahaha

[Janiman]

Well, I wasn't trying to be greedy. Just thought a 3rd would be good for breeding stock. Are you planning to breed? ... and how big is your female now?

[Oliverian]

:o Awesome! The female is stunning! I don't think i've ever seen a pine like that before (If i've even seen a pine at all.... :))

[Scales Zoo]

I was sure I replied to this thread already?!*%

That female looks like she is turning out great - she is really really nice, and growing like a little weed. Do your mice get steroids by any chance - first the taiwan, now this one.

Hey Ryan,

I was wondering if you'd seen the post... thought you might have been so upset that you sold her that you were shunning me! LOL

She's turning out even better than I could have wished. You can't see it in the photo's, but she's developing some black tipping on the orange scales that run down her sides between the black blotches. What's really cool about it is that it's creating round circles of clean orange between the black ones.

Any plans to be in Ontario this summer?
