[Tyler99]

Post em here!!!! Espeiically if you have a big female!!!

[hiss-hers pyth]

Here you go this is our biggest female, pic was taken a year ago and she was over 4800 grams then. My good friend Mark is holding her and he's 6 feet tall. She's been named Holy **** by most who have seen her. Seems to be genetic her daughters are showing the same growth potential. Hope you like.

You need a giant male my friend. Then we could prove out some monster balls. IF YOU DO monster balls is copyrighted and you must give me one to use the name ;)

[Bartman]

Thats a huge girl!

[marisa]

That is a big ball python! How many eggs did she lay?

Marisa

[lucky8926]

Wow, she's impressive!!

[Bristen]

Hey Michael, she looks great!! Is that the mother of my pastel??

Thanks for sharing!
Bristen.

[honduranfreekk]

Marisa If memory serves me right she has laid 13or14 eggs.

Michael she is HUGE my friend you shure its not a Boa lmao ;)

She is truly one of the great ball python females! She is a consistant 13 - 14 egg layer.

I was fortunate enough to obtain a few of her daughters. I have an '02 that is already over 2800 grams.

Thanks Mike!

Mark

Hey Mark, is that the female that produced my pastel?? I know you produced it with one of Michael's females, but I don't think I ever saw a picture of the female in question...??

Thanks,
Bristen.

ps: other people could use some hets from females like that too ;)

[Markus Jayne]

Bristen,

Yes I believe so. I had her for 2 seasons and she layed 14 and then 13 eggs. She produced pastels both times.

Mark

[hiss-hers pyth]

Thanks everyone,

She is my first ball python and she is special in allot of ways, as Mark and Kelvin mentionned she lays 13-14 eggs consistantly now, there are I'm sure larger clutches produced, however what makes these special is the size of the eggs and the hatchlings. Her babies will eat fuzzy rats, right from their first shed. And as Mark also confirmed her daugthers and now granddaughters show the same type of growth rate, almost 3000 grams by their second year. We are lucky thanks to Mark, to now have some of her daughthers represented as Pastels, het albinos and hopefully this year Orange hypos ( ghosts ) from this fellow. He's well over 1100 grams now and breeding her, and others like crazy

Again thanks everyone.

Me too... in fact, I would take several! :)

[Manitoban Herps]

Very nice and large ball, I like the bright small stripe near the end of her tail :)

[smeagel]

that is one amazing girl you have there.

[Bristen]

Mark/Michael,

Thanks for the info... I was not sure if that was THE female or not... I'll have to keep that picture of the big lady and put in the "family album" of my snakes hehe...

As far as my pastel Michael, I could not be happier with him! Now let's hope I do everything right and produce a bunch more of them!!!

Thanks for sharing Michael and best of luck with all your projects this season :) You're going to have to give that giant line a name.. I'd recommend something like "Monster Line Ball Pythons" or something... I don't believe that's copyrighted heh :-P

Later,
Bristen.

[hiss-hers pyth]

Thanks again everyone,

Hopefully we will have alot of her daughters and granddaughters for offer this season. Most will het for Orange ghost and perhaps a few other surprises. As for normals, some may become available the next time we breed her to a co-dom morph. Thanks again, and good breeding everyone.

Hi
This is our 4000 gram female that gives us a clutch of 12 or more every year she produces!!!

http://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/data/507/3702bigclutch-med.JPG

This is QUEEN. She had quite a hard year last season. At oviposition last this April, I noticed something was not right. She had laid a total of 12 eggs. Believe it or not, 2 of these were fertile. 10 slugs. I then picked up Queen to inspect her, and she had2 retained egg. One in her oviduct and one in her uterus. I tried every tick to try and get her to pass these eggs, warm saok, gentle massages, but we had to take the road less travelled...Surgery. 8 months later, Queen is doing GREAT. Her surgery was a success and her scar is barely noticeable. When it was all said and done, I got 1 little girl out of the clutch. I named her Lucky (I know original). To me, this girl is the little engine that could....Live. Queen has this year off of breeding. She seems no worse for wear and handled the whole situation like a champ.

Thanks for looking
Mike

Hi All -

I hope it's not bad form to just give a link to the last time I posted about my largish (in excess of 5000 grams) females here earlier this year.

Both animals are going strong, but I suspect they won't put on much more size as the years pass.

I have an old male who went on a feeding binge this year and weighs more than 3900 grams @ 63". To me, a male that size is more amazing than the large females.

[BoidKeeper]

Here is my largest. I just bought her back in August I think it was. She eats like a pig. Rats, rabbits, you name it!

[lostwithin]

Thanks Trevor, I just wish He were a she lol, That pick make's him look much more black then he really is, but you know how hard it can be to take pic's that show true colors on any animal.

Devon

[BoidKeeper]

Tell me about it. No matter how many I take of my female Colombian none of them ever show her true colours.
Cheers,
Trevor
