[alessia55]

[krystle]

[Strutter769]

His crescents remind me of cartoon or coloring book drawings.

[Trent]

Nice looking rainbow!

[Norm66]

Congrats on the new acquisition!

[Strutter769]

[Strutter769]

Updated pics:

[Strutter769]

Just a few more below. In the last one you'll notice how yellow her belly is. In fact, the one time she's shed for me, the aged was YELLOW! Does that mean anything? Somethin' good like, she's gonna have stunning color as she grows?

[millertime89]

wow, I can't believe how bright her markings are.

[Trollbie]

Holy crap! This one is gorgeous!!!

[Strutter769]

Thank you!

[Strutter769]

See how yellow his,belly is? Does anyone know if that's common for a High Orange Rainbow?

[Strutter769]

Have a.look at this! Stunning, if I may say so myself! He's just glowing!

[Trollbie]

[Strutter769]

Ok, you get second choice. Right after me.

Squeeeeee! I'm going to hold you to that! :p

[Strutter769]

Which one of my females would you like to be the Dam? Cici (High Red), Minnie (Pearl), Clementine (The oldest. Bold Crescent) or Lucretia (Bullseye).

[Trollbie]

You should post pics of all of them in here so I can look at all of them at once :D

They're all here. C'mon you get first dibs! Put in a little effort! :blink:

[Trollbie]

Hmmm I like Cici the most because she seems to have extra awesome iridescence. Otherwise they're all awesome in their own ways and I couldn't decide! lol

[millertime89]

can I get 3rd dibs?

[Strutter769]

Yep! Wanna work out a breeding loan? :crazy:

[Trollbie]

Yep! Wanna work out a breeding loan? :crazy:

What's that?

[Strutter769]

That means that Kyle's male would breed with one of my females, and we would strike a deal for half the litter, cash, both, or whatever we agree to.

[Strutter769]

Yep! Wanna work out a breeding loan? :crazy:

Never mind. I forgot you have a male. That wouldn't work out so well. Although I do have a few Brazilian Babes.

[geckodog]

Wow that is os cool, I think it might be a double dot, it co

[Trollbie]

lol I'm even more confused now

[Strutter769]

Wow that is os cool, I think it might be a double dot, it co

I thought so too. Not sure, but even if he is, I don't think that makes him (or any double dot babies) any more valuable.

[Strutter769]

lol I'm even more confused now

How so? What can I clarify for you?

[Trollbie]

How so? What can I clarify for you?

I got it and then you said never mind you have a male too... Sorry, i'm easily confused

[Strutter769]

Casanova is a male. In order to strike a breeding agreement, you need a male and a female. Kyle's BRB is a male, so he can't breed with Casanova. So, we can't make that deal.

OOoooooooooh! duh....

Can Zeus mate with CC? :D

[Strutter769]

OOoooooooooh! duh....

Sure, we can work that out. No earlier than 2014 though. She's my second oldest and is a beautiful deep red! That'll only get better as she matures.

It's not like Zeus is gonna be ready before then!

[Strutter769]

It's not like Zeus is gonna be ready before then!

Very true.

[Trollbie]

Very true.

He's probably not gonna be ready till 2015 :D

[millertime89]

didn't we already agree to this? Yes, when the time comes I'm more than willing to do this. He's a slow grower however so it might be a year longer than usual.

[Strutter769]

I was thinking with Casanova, but that wouldn't really work. Got a little ahead of myself there.

Yes! We did plan that quite some time ago. I have not forgotten. I'm trying right now to determine what age my Mad. Ground Boas need to be to breed.

[millertime89]

The more digging I do the more I find that age is not the only deciding factor, size plays a major role as well.

How? I may want to breed Zeus someday...

People say an animal should be a certain age befofe they breed, but what they fail to address if they have a slow grower like I think Nero (my brb) is then he may need an extra year or two before he can produce viable offspring. Females its even scarier imo, if theyre not big enough and still breed they may wind up egg bound and die.

On the flip side if you go by weight you have the potential to have overweight animals that have been powerfed and either can't produce the sex cells necessary to reproduce, or can't produce viable offspring because theyre so young. I've read reports of young males knocking up a female only to have a 0f% hatch rate and the female was a proven and reliable breeder. Vice versa as well.

Interesting. What kind of scale do you use? Just a regular kitchen scale or something?

Should I be worried about weight now?

[Lankyrob]

I know for corns the recommendation is 3yrs old, 3 foot long and 300g as a minimum - this is a good starting point as it covers all bases :)

yup, picked it up at walmart for like 20 bucks.
Not really, its just a nice indicator about general health of an animal, but I'm not sure its 100% reliable because as you saw in my thread about Nero, its dependent on a number of things, just like your and my weight. When we last ate, when we last defecated, etc. etc.

[geckodog]

Wow he is so cool, is he a rainbow boa

[Strutter769]

Yes, Brazilian Rainbow Boa.

[Trollbie]

I decided I want Casanovas baby with the bullseye female! :D

Those would be beautiful orange babies; however, Lucretia will first get to make some beautiful Pearls with Oenomaus. Then, the next breeding can be with Casanova. :-)

I'll be able to afford it by then hopefully :D
