Salmons anyone

[BigDan]

I finally caught one in the act. I knew something was going on tonight and I stayed up to see if I could finally see one of my boas giving birth.

Check it out.

Litter was produced by breeding Rich Ihle Possible super salmon (he did not prove out to be a super due to the normals in the litter) possible het for albino bred to huge pastel virgin female. The babies were some of the biggest I have ever seen. The final tally was 25 live and 4 slugs 16 salmons 9 normals.

Enjoy

*Thinking out loud* I wonder how many reg leo's it would take to trade for one of those guys???????? Maybe a corn or two as well to sweetin up the trade????

Unreal Dan!!!!! I will be there to see the little guys at the end of the week.

WALTER:

I already have the RED CROSS alerted to drain me of all but 1 pint of blood and both kidneys ready to transplant once Dan agrees to my offer, lol.

Only need a heart and the passion to love boas to keep me going after that purchase........sweet.

Cya.....I think my boa passion is going into insanity now.

Tony.

[JaredAren]

Those are some great looking babies!

[IBsmokin]

do you still have those hypertheristic nicaraguans?

[Wizwise2000]

Wow!!! I can't wait to see some future pics of the holdback, stunning. Beautiful litter Dan:)

Thanks everyone it was a long wait for these but well worth it. I could not be happier how they turned out, plus I had alot more salmons than normals.

IB smokin I do still have the Hyper Nics, I will be breeding the male next season to a normal Nic female. I am hoping they prove out co dom.

There were sold to me as bloods but I know they are not. I beleive they are an extreme form of Hypo Nic and the hypo Nics have proved out co dominant so i hope to know next year.

They have actually increased in red coloration as they have aged and are by far some of the most spectacular boas out there.


I will post some pics soon.
