Some of the Family(Cals & Hondos) *DOWNLOAD WARNING*

Here's pics I took of some of the collection last night:

2002 Female Albino Cal:

Head shot of the same female(I dig the heart):

Her future boyfriend:

Banana Female:

And HER future boyfriend:

50/50 Male basking, this is an older one. He and his female are in the basement brumating right now.

Anery/Poss Het Hypo Female Honduran. Surprisingly, she is WAYYY more calm than any of the young Cal's I've got were, a doll:

Het Anery/Poss Het Albino Male Honduran:


The other Male Honduran is in shed, and the other 2 females are complete DEMONS:devil: and won't sit still for a picture, lol.


And I'll toss one in of 'Dragon', my one and only Lizard. I kept calling him that and now it's stuck -- I'm terrible with names:

Very nice Will. Of course I love the anery female but the tricolor male is very nice - such dark red not the orange I have in mine. I would love to get more that are red rather than orange. Know what you mean about the little hondos being active. I handle my youngsters about twice a week each for short times but have been more concerned about trying to leave them alone so they are not stressed and are feeding regularly - they are a handful when they are out.

The heart on the female albino is a really nice marking - so clear! Nice wide stripes on those guys too. Really love the male 50/50 though - they are such gorgeous snakes - have to love cal kings,

thanks for sharing,

mary v.

Nice stuff Will.

Is the 50/50 male going with the female you got from me?

Yep, That'd be her guy.

I think they'll make a decent match.

I try to handle the females twice a week or so, but they are something else . The males are OK and handle-able, and the Anery is my baby, she comes out every day just because she tolerates it so well and is so well behaved(and it helps that she's easy on the eyes, lol). I think Marc B did a great job 'breaking her in' before he shipped her out here. But the other females literally fling sh*te all over and when they get tired of that, the teeth come out to play, lol. I leave them alone, except to feed and clean and try handling once in a while, I expect that once they put on a little more weight, like most Lampros they will calm down. In the meantime it adds a little excitment to the daily chores.

I'm not 100% sure what exact model I use(I just go to WalMart and buy "The one I need"), but it is about 16X22 I think. They are in a Melamine rack that I built myself, and holds 14 tubs and is heated by heat tape. I'll try to grab some pics of one of the tubs tonight.

EDIT Here is inside one of the tubs:

Good to see the Kings are doing well for you Will. I never realized that female had that little heart marking, very cool. I'll have to pay better attn. & see if any of the others come out with them. Good Luck Mark

There's probably a decent chance of that. Her sister has a similar marking also, although it isn't quite as well defined as her's.
