Awesome Roy, first time for everything i guess!!!

Actually, come to think of it....have you ever wondered who many herps you have owned over the years in total Roy. Whether its stuff you've bred, just owned, sold, only had for a couple days etc etc??? I wonder how many have passed through your hands over the what 25 years plus you've been doing this? Would be an interesting and very LARGE figure i would imagine! Have you any idea? Roughly? Im just curious

How big is that little lady??

Stockwell · 04-09-04, 03:18 PM

Sorry Shane, I missed that question... I really don't know how many have gone through my hands, but its well up into the thousands in CB babies I have produced alone. I'm fairly sure I've handled over 10,000 but who knows. It doesn't matter anyway. I've yet to breed damn house snakes which are reportedly the most prolific serpents on the planet.( I will though, its getting personal now

)

Hi Katt!
She's the biggest Conicus I have, at about 2 foot.
She currently weighs 475grams
Here she is being mated by a different gold male.
The black and white male from the pic above is seen in the middle.He weighs a mere 108 grams but is the same age as here and father of past litters.
Male conicus seem to remain quite small

Haha, very nice! How many females are you breeding this year? Hope you get some nice big healthy litters, I love rough scales!

Good luck with the house snakes. Hmmm...I wonder if I'll get eggs first....? LOL

That's awesome! Rough Scaled Sandboas rock. Best of luck!

Roy can't breed house snakes, Roy can't breed house snakes, Roy can't breed house snakes....

Heh heh, J/K.

I sent a dude your way who was inquiring about sand boas. I told him you were the MAN, and that you'd be able to help him. His name was Shane I think, but he might be an American. Anywho, I told him to contact you. Tanx my man.

Oh, and nice pics! That one female conicus is HUGE!

Invictus · 04-18-04, 10:22 AM

Right on Roy! Can't wait to see the babies.

Bartman · 04-18-04, 01:07 PM

Great! I was going to get a roughscale today and the show but i got a kenyan instead..figured it was better to save 50 and buy evyerhting i needed for the same price as the roughscaled, but boy are they beuties!
