What to do?

[Will0W783]

I just got my snake collection numbers down to a much more manageable size and variety, and last night I found out a good friend of mine is selling off all his snakes and getting out of the business. I've known him for years and he produces some smoking Irian Jaya jaguar carpets and granite carpets. He offered me a lone male 2010 IJ jaguar for $300 or a pair for $500....they usually sell for twice that. I know I can afford and have room for one more for sure....it's just should I spend the extra money and get a female too? I have a female jungle/jaguar and a female pure jungle already. What to do????:confused:

Buy those potato chips and nom nom nom.

[Will0W783]

LMAO, Stephan.

[stephanbakir]

When can we expect pictures :P

[totheend]

I agree with Stephan, looking forward to seeing pics of the new pair :D

[Will0W783]

Pictures won't be for a few weeks. My friend lives in Virginia and I have to gather funds and then find some way to meet up with him.

[totheend]

We are patient ;)

[stephanbakir]

Somewhat, while waiting we will expect pictures of your current collection, to be fair.

[Will0W783]

Lol....all of them?

[Will0W783]

Here's one to tide you guys over:

[stephanbakir]

All of the ones that you should show us.

[stephanbakir]

Here's one to tide you guys over:
Sexy animal.

[Will0W783]

What ones should I show you then? lol :-p

[stephanbakir]

The legal ones :P

[Gungirl]

The reasons to love this forum continue to pile up...

I want pics of what your snake room looks like Kim... I can't picture how all those big boys you have fit into it. Also the creature that sleeps by your bed.. can I see him? Please :crazy2:

Oh and buy them both!!

[lpbldg18]

When in doubt, get a carpet! :D

[siz]

I'd love to see photos of your snake room too, Kim! And of course, the new additions ;)

How's it going, by the way? It's been a while! What are you keeping these days?

[ladyjustice33]

Sexy animal.


so I'm not the only one that thinks snakes are "sexy animals"!!!!



I say get those chips too!!! Money well spent and if you don't grab a good deal like that now, you'll regret it when someone else does.....or I always do when I "think" about something too long and it passes by, lol !!!

[marvelfreak]

Kim really? We all know your going to get both, so set it up so we can see pics in a couple weeks. What kind of snake is that in the picture? I am with everybody else let see pics of your snake room and collection. Please with sugar on top. Please, please, please don't make me beg. lol :):)

If you're financially sable, and have the room DO IT..It's a great deal, if you don't buy them you will end up wanting in a year anyways, then you will have to pay more, catch my drift?

[brylecc1989]

Think it's a mangrove?

[stephanbakir]

Waglers viper.

[brylecc1989]

Ahhh right you are!

[Will0W783]

Yep. I will post up pics tomorrow. I will have to go through and photograph them all, lol. :)

[stephanbakir]

You better :P

[Will0W783]

Here are pictures of the two male jags I'm trying to decide between. I'm leaning more towards the first one as he has brighter yellow. The only female he has left is somewhat duller yellow and muddied, so I'm just going to get the male. My female jag I have at home has fabulous genetics but isn't the brightest either, so no need for another dull female jag. What do you guys think between these two males?

[stephanbakir]

Fantastic carpets, I like both.

[stephanbakir]

The first one has a pattern I prefer, and the second one has an awesome face.

[Will0W783]

Yeah, I agree. I think the first one will be brighter though, as an adult. IJ jags tend to get brighter with age, and these guys are yearlings so they might brighten up a bit yet.

[shaunyboy]

i think the first ones of a higher quality kimberly

it has a nicer colour and pattern

i would not bother with the female if she's dull

also if you breed 2 jags the ratio of jags tend to go up,but then there will be the dead leusistic's in the clutch

cheers shaun

[Will0W783]

That's what I figured Shaun. I'm strapped for funds and room in my snake room, so one more is plenty for now. I dont' intend to breed two jags together. I figured by getting the male jag I was setting myself up for two nice pairings a year:

#1- High Voltage (male jungle/jag sibling to Jigsaw, famous abberant jag) x TiVo (75% jungle jaguar)

#2- new male jaguar x Electra (high yellow pure jungle female)

It's such a shame leucy carpets can't survive- what a sight that would be huh?

sounds like a good solid plan kimberly

i have to agree a live leucy would be a beautifull snake

cheers shaun

[Will0W783]

Alright, I've got a hold on that first male. As soon as Pete and I can arrange to meet up for me to get him, I'll have more pictures!
