Hi there,
Just wanted to show a pic of some Hogg isle boas that I bred at Reptilia. as you can see (hopefully the pic works!) some of the neonates have little or no markings on the back, this is expected to be due to temperature maladies. We have a trio of females, but one young male half their size. I put them together in mid november, and wasn't too hopefull of much after the male spent most of his time on the opposite side of the tank.
After 2 months and seeing no copulation, or tail waving from the females, I decided that the male was too young. They stayed housed together, with temps ranging from 78-95, but usually cooler (basking spot of about 80-83) i am assumming that this is why the pattern mutations occured.
However, on Tuesday 12th May. i did my morning routine of checking all tanks and much to my surprise and excitement, i saw a pile of boas! In total, there are 16 fit and healthy babies, 4 stillborn, 2 with deformities (one eye and kinking of the lower spine) and 2 slugs.
They will hopefully shed this week and i will begin feeding trials in a week from today. Anyone interested in them let me know, they will be priced at around $325 - $400 plus taxes. We know that the pattern mutations are in all probabilty not genetic, so we will be asking a little more for the more unique looking babies.
cheers for looking
paul
ps. better shots will be taken after first shed
pps my pics are too big to display, so they are in my gallery for anyones perusal!
