well i actually put him in her tank,imo its best to introduce the male to the female in her own tank

if you put the female into the males tank she tends to explore

where as the male should hopefully only have one thing on his mind,that don't involve exploring the tank;)

will get pictures up over the next few days

i decided to go for it mate,did you ?

cheers shaun

[alessia55]

what kind of carpets will come out of that pairing?

[shaunyboy]

what kind of carpets will come out of that pairing?

the males is,a jungle jaguar

the female is,a diamond jungle

so it would be.....

diamond jungle jaguars

diamond jungle jaguar siblings (the hatchlings that did not inherit the jag gene)

cheers shaun

[Lankyrob]

Fingers crossed for you mate!! :)

[Gungirl]

Looking good. Can't wait to see the outcome!

[shaunyboy]

the males sdhowing loads of interest,but the females having none of it

i hope he's her type ;):yes:

thanks rob

cheers shaun

[Rogue628]

Good luck! If they hook up, I can't wait to see what the babies are going to look like! :D

[presspirate]

Been waiting awhile hoping you'd pair some up Shauny!:bouncy: Got my fingers crossed for you mate! Get your incubator ready.:O_o:

the males giving it some snakey lurveeeeee mate:confused:

but shes having none of it:hmm:

i even put the lights out and put the wee bedside lamp on,time for some barry white or johnny guitar watson me thinks pal;):D

all the very best for the new year,to you and your family greg

cheers shaun

[CK SandBoas]

Good luck with that pairing Shaun, should make some great looking babies for you, if the female stops playing hard to get:D

[shaunyboy]

Good luck! If they hook up, I can't wait to see what the babies are going to look like! :D

i'm not sure how they will turn out,what with the female being black and white,instead of the usual black and yellow most diamond jungles tend to be ?

now if i got a black and white diamond jungle jag :shocked: that would be something very special.i don't know if there has been any hatched black and white before (i can dream;))

when i put my gosford male diamond,to the black and white diamond jungle,then i think things will get really really interesting;)

but he's a year and a bit away from sexual maturity:sad:

all of the above is dependant on me being lucky enough to be successfull in their breeding

cheers shaun

[Norm66]

Lol, I was going to recommend some Barry White.

Good luck!

[marvelfreak]

Got my fingers cross for you. I tried checking for sperm plugs and couldn't fine any. I am going to take him with me when i go next week to get rats and have my buddy Paul give it a try. He been breeding Ball's and Dumeril's for years and use to breed Retics. So i hopping he can tell me for sure if he ready. I am hoping.

Nope, but then my mammy always said I was a sandwitch short of the full pinic :-P

[shaunyboy]

Aye true. lol
So being new to all of this, how long if the matings successful will it be untill you have hatchlings ?

i'm basing her on a pure jungle carpet python even though shes a diamond jungle cross mate,so'''''

after last witnessed copulation.....

ovulation should take place anything from 11 to 25 days after..... (average 18 days)

pre lay shed should be another 17 to 25 days..... (average 18 days)

she should lay 19 to 35 days later.....(average 25 days)

eggs should hatch 47 to 61 days later.....(average 54 days)

if you add all the averages,it should be roughly 115 days after last copulation,that i hope to have wee heads popping out the eggs (if i'm lucky enough to get eggs)

as said mate thats all based on a pure jungle,so she may be a little different with the diamond blood in her

cheers shaun

[Swany]

Well fingers crossed that towards the end of April you get some gorgeous babies bud ;-)

[jaleely]

Wow cool...beautiful pair! Keep us updated! Well, if you want to sit and watch and wait for it that long, that is lol

[shaunyboy]

i'm not saying the excitment and tension won't be a nightmare though:no::freakedout::yes:

watching all those lovely eggs,just waiting,waiting and then some more waiting:confused::confused: then when those little heads start popping out :eek:

it will be amazing times mate:bouncy:

cheers shaun

[red ink]

Interesting pairing mate... good luck with it and can't wait to see the results.

[shaunyboy]

Interesting pairing mate... good luck with it and can't wait to see the results.

to be honest mate,i was keeping the B&W female for the gosford male

but i thought i'd give her a trial run with the jun/jag

a lot of diamond jungle jags are produced using.....

diamond jungle x coastal jag

i'm hoping with less coastal in the mix,they might turn out more vibrantly coloured

also her having a bright clean white,instead of the usual more common yellow,might bring something interesting to the results

heres hoping;)

cheers shaun

[spots]

Cool pair, hope it works out for you there mate.

If shipping wasn't so much i would gladly take one of the young from that clutch off your hands :)

[shaunyboy]

^^^ Thanks Shaun.

[millertime89]

can't wait to see babies Shaun! If you ever make a shipment over this direction I would love a little one! You know I would give him or her a great home.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for some white JAGs.

[shaunyboy]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for some white JAGs.

thats what i'd be silently praying for were i a religous man mate;)

sadly theres NOT been much goings on in the tank the last few days:sad:

she's a late 2007 and he's a 2007 as well,both are well up to size,but so far nothing,unless i missed a quick lock during the night (he kids himself on:wacky:)

cheers shaun

[marvelfreak]

Well Shaun i put my Jag in with my diamond x Jungle on the 2nd. I swear he not move from be hide the water bowl. He got himself wedge in the corner between the door, side and water bowl. He acts like he scared to death of her. I open the door this morning to put fresh water in and he shot up my arm and around my head like he was running for life. I am hoping he warms up to her soon.

Hope yours lock up for you soon.

[millertime89]

based on reading what the many retic breeders are talking about, sometimes its worth a shot to throw another male's old shed in will get the desired male a little rev'd up and defensive and throw him into breed mode as he'll want the female to himself.

Pull your hides and water dish for a day or try using only 1 hide and see what happens. Also are you 100% sure she is a she?(i'm sure you are but gotta ask). My male jcp won't eat, always on the cool side and when we let him roam a bit he goes right for our females viv and will spend 30 min looking for a way in. He is totaly in breed mode. Carpets are very shy about doing the deed and you may never see it happen even if it does. If they cuddle they are doing it. Good luck to you both.

Had her sexed about a year ago. I wanted to make sure what she was before i bought my Jag. He a early 2010 so i am thinking he just might not be ready.

[millertime89]

sounds like carpets are a bit easier than retics in breeding mode, male retics are straight nasty, I dunno how many times I got struck at when I was up at Travis's place.

i was thinking of putting a shed i kept from the male irian jag mate

i also considered putting 2 males together to provoke combat,but i've read that sometimes the loser refuses to breed for 1 or 2 years after losing the combat

cheers shaun

[shaunyboy]

just as i was about to either throw and old shed in the tank or initiate supervised combat between 2 of my males.....

at 6am this morning i quickly shone a torch in the tank and caught rthe male using his spurs to get the female in the mood

i woke up to a full lock that broke off at 5pm tonight,so an 11 hour lock

Woo hoo!! Doing a happy Dance for you, Shaun!:D

i'm thinking the male will be doing a happy dance,after 11 hours on the job,first time ever :shocked::laugh::D

i'm really excited about this pairing

after a few more days/locks i'll seperate them,then put them back together in 7 to 10 days time for more action

heres hoping all goes according to plan

i won't settle until i see ovulation,then a pre lay shed:suspicious:;)

imo,its like being a kid at xmas waiting to see if your getting the present you wanted most:bouncy:

many thanks for the kind comments folks:D

[lady_bug87]

very cool Shauny Congrats the pairing looks incredible Cant wait to see what gets produced

[Lankyrob]

Fingers crossed for success mate!! :)

Finally! lol Congrats Shauny. I hope you get what you're after! :D

P.S. I am in LOVE with your diamond! It's my favorite of the carpets and definite on my 'want' list!

[marvelfreak]

Congrats!

Finally! lol Congrats Shauny. I hope you get what you're after! :D

P.S. I am in LOVE with your diamond! It's my favorite of the carpets and definite on my 'want' list!

imo,diamonds are incredable to keep,their husbandry is so different from all the other morelia.imo much more economical and easier once you've got the hang of it

mine get only 2 to 4 hours basking spot of 90f per day depending on the season,then no more heat

2 to 10 hours uvb per day depending on the season

only feed them 6 months of the year

from the jet black to brown they hatch out the egg,they just get brighter and brighter with each shed:shocked:

diamonds are my favourite snake of all time,definatly worth you considering adding them to your collection pal;):D

My kids usually use it when they want something. It's like a warning bell to tell me they want something (usually money lol). Convo's usually go like this:

Daughter: Mama...I lurve you! :D
Me: What do you want?
Daughter: Can I have some money to go to the mall? I'll bring you back some sushi! :D (she knows that's a weakness) lol

Son: Mama, I lurve you!!! :D
Me: What do you want?
Son: Can you order this game for me? Oh yeah, I only have $20...can you give me the other $5?

Me: Mini (my daughter's nickname) I lurve you :D
Mini: What?
Me: Can you fix my a glass of pop?
Her: I'm busy...lurve you! :D


See? lol

[Lankyrob]

Lol rogue - that is soo funny, i get daaaaad rahter than dad when my daughter wants something ;)

[Rogue628]

Typical lol

My examples may have been a bit exaggerated, but they're very far from the truth! All three incidences describe actually happened this week, but in a bit different form and maybe verbiage.

What sucks is when she goes to the mall and fails to bring back sushi...instead comes back with change. I REALLY wanted that sushi!

My son had me help buy him games last weekend. Then I had to give him an extra $5 cuz he didn't have it all lol. I thought it was cute because he kept promising to pay me back but I wasn't looking for it. He hounded me everyday until they came in (I have most everything shipped to my work, including my snakes...just don't tell my boss :p )

What sucked about it is he bought my boyfriend a game for a late Christmas gift....he didn't get me squat for Xmas. :O_o: Even this has a positive side. This means they're getting along much better :D That's the best gift he could have given me :D

So...uhh...Shauny....have they locked again for you? (attempting to put the thread back on track) :)

Well if it makes you feel any better my son bought his dad, 2nd mom, girlfriend, and sisters presents but forgot me & Michael...

I would be upset but like you I am happy because he is finally getting along with his dad and starting to think of other people. *Le Sigh* lol

If I weren't so thick skinned it would make me sad. Lucky for him I understand how his mind works and I understand.
