Last night I officially launched the 2002/3 breeding season. 5 out of 6 males were locked up by morning. This is a great time of year....Lots of anticipation and speculation.

Last year was our first year breeding and we only hope that this year proves to be as successful.

Good luck to all those venturing down this road this season! It just gets better and better!

This a Pastel Jungle I picked up from Greg Graziani this year. He is an F2 (pastel X pastel breeding). His colour is incredible! Check out the intensity of the yellow. He will be one of our future breeders.

Hi mark,

I hope to be doing the same in a couple years. I am establishing my collection of future breeders now.

LOL I hope those pastels breed like rabbits as I will be buying a couple from you in the summer.

I cant wait.

Good luck this year Mark! :)

Thanks Guy!!!!

The two blushing black backs are also het for Ghost. If the BBB comes through in the ghost, it will be awesome. The male produced a clutch for me last year bred to a normal female. This is the females first year for breeding.

Some lucky bugger out west has the brother to that male. Hmmm...I wonder who that could be?

Oh and by the way...just an update...my 6th male was locked up this morning. So that's 6 out of 6. I have a seventh but he is in shed right now. And I just secured a deal on an 8th male! He should be up here in a month or so.

It's going to be a very exciting year. I hope everyone experiences the thrill of breeding ball pythons this year.

Thanks again.

You're gonna have an awesome year this year Mark! I can tell already!! I can't wait until those ghosts hatch out! THAT'S going to be amazing!

i have to wait to breed my male to my girl.....otherwise it would be child molestion ( considering my male is only a few months old....) but i still cant wait....

Good luck for this year Mark!!!

[J.J.]

Good Luck!!My ball pythons arent going to be ready until next year! By the way, I know I have asked this before, but is it long tale: male, short tale: female, or the other way around?? just wonderin

[Quervo]

Hey J.J. .. I think it is short tail:male, but that isn't very acurate .. unless you really know your snakes. :-)

[Clownfishie]

I thought that it was the other way around? Males had the longer (skinnier) tails, females had shorter tails...
Hmmm... at least I THINK that that's what I saw in the books that I've been reading....
You're right though, either way it's not very accurate...

[nighter628]

Its not accurate cause half say long=male half say long=female hehe, im j/k
