My babies have grown! PIC

After waiting almost 4 years, my pair of calikings are breeding! The female's a '99 aberrent albino and the male's a small '99 "coastal" phase. Thought of breeding the female, "Pearl" last year but decided to wait another, and my is she big now. The male was tried with a 50/50 female but he wasn't aggressive enough and kept getting thrown off. Not now though.

This wasn't a planned breeding as I had an albino male (who was obtained too late to brumate) and a coastal female for them. The albino male, since he wasn't cooled, was too aggressive with Peal and couldn't decide if he wanted to eat her or breed her. He had bitten her neck several times. Hence those awful looking marks on her neck. Thinking that was just how calikings get, I left it, until I saw him in a death coil around her! Panic! Good thing I never left them alone for long, but my poor baby's got those nasty bites on her neck. She'll shed them out though.

Anyways, I just feel like a proud parent now. Now that my kids are sexually mature! lol
