[marvelfreak]

Congrats! The snake looks insane.:)

[shaunyboy]

congratulations Mykee he's a looker :)

it's really nice to see all your dedication and hard work paying off (5 genes,no less :cool: )

he's a credit to your husbandry mate

he's going to be useful once sexually mature ;)

so how many eggs you got cooking this season ?

i hope you get as good a result,with the rest of your hatchlings

i look forward to see what pops out next

all the best shaun

[GarterPython]

How much would you be asking for that guy! Im guessing alot because he is amazing.

[mykee]

Depending on what I pop out from similar clutches, he'll likely stay here.
Shaun, I have 63 eggs on the ground already and am expecting another ~150 or so.
Gonna be a busy year with a bunch of new triples and quads and maybe another fiver or two.
Some Canadian firsts for sure.
Rest assured I'll be keeping you all up to date picture-wise when the cool stuff starts hatching.

It is a great looking royal Mykee- but i thought you were against breeding of the spider gene?

or am i missing something?

[SidewaysAt100]

Super cool snake, congrats!

[lady_bug87]

Very cool, I love seeing unique babies,

[mykee]

I'm not against spiders; they eat, poop and breed very well. I do think that the pinstripe gene is far superior to the spider and an excellent substitute. I do have a few spiders in my collection, all in two and more gene animals.

ah i gotcha.... I must of thought of something else, since the wobble problem spiders can have i thought you didnt breed them...

my bad, any way Mykee, very nice animal. i hope one day ot be able to produce one like yours.

awesome looking snake!

i do have a question, and forgive me for being a newbie at this and dont mean to seem rude if it comes across, im just looking for more knowledge. but what is making this a 5 gene snake? with the info of Super pastel, lesser, spider and het hypo, i'm only showing 4 genes? in what research ive done super pastel is just a super form of a single gene, and not making it 2 genes, for example, if you breed a super pastel to a normal, you would get pastels and normals with no super pastels? would breeding the het hypo to a het hypo and getting a hypo be considered a 2 gene animal? or are you not telling us what the 5th gene is? again i certainly do apologize if any of that came off rude, i'm just looking to further my knowledge in the BP world. Thank you

[mykee]

Super pastel is considered two genes, and the presence of the hypo (via het) is considered another gene present (technically 1/2) in the animal.
pastel - 1
pastel - 1
lesser - 1
spider - 1
het hypo. - 1/2

If you decide not to call a super pastel two genes because it shows itself in the super form (which containing two pastel genes), then a lesser and a mojave can only be considered 1/2 genes as they also have a super form (lucy).

"if you breed a super pastel to a normal, you would get pastels and normals with no super pastels?"
No. Super pastel to normal would give you all pastels.

Hey Mykee, Any more pics of this beauty and others like it? ( Are there others like it? )

[MrBD1980]

^^^^^^^

What she said!!!

;-)

[Will0W783]

Very nice-looking baby! Congratulations. :)

[mykee]

Ive got a few more pics of some stuff just shedding out for their first time. Some neat stuff I'm sure you've never seen.
I'll start a new thread for them.
I need to work my schedule around the new puppies naps.
My life sucks....
Thanks for the interest.

[Snakefood]

ya pretty puppies and awesome snakes.......must be hard!! LMAO!!!!

[mykee]

You have no idea how stressful the puppy is. I took her to the vet on Friday and she was diagnosed with a fairly advanced bladder infection. She's already potty trained and has only had half a dozen (liquid) accidents in the house (no solid accidents), but because of the bladder infection, she needs to pee every 20 minutes. I have to schedule my eating and poop breaks for the respite I get while she's sleeping.
When she's awake, she has my attention almost 100%.
Puppies.
End of rant.
Anyways, got a chance of upload some pics of the two newest clutches, so I'll post them later today.

[Snakefood]

I can relate!! both my dogs have permanent medical conditions. I do know how stressfull it can be.

still can't wait for the pics though!!

[jaleely]

Nice snake!

The puppies grow out of it quickly and as she heals from the infection she'll be better. Man, i remember when i got my basset (at a day less than six weeks old) i was so tired from baby sitting that i almost fell down the stairs once, and then one day i DID, but luckily i fell backwards and he and i slid down on my butt, though i really bruised my elbow *lol*
anyway...point is, it passes quickly. You'll have the energy for all those baby snakes soon!
