Last weekend with the ball & Rings clutches came those. 27 babies 6 slugs and 5 stillborn babies. Last year the mother gave 4 magnificent babies ( some of you have three of them ) and some weird pattern stillborns. It is 100% pure HogIsland line , They were originaly exported from the u.s by Tom Crutchfield a long time ago as WC or F1 farm hatched babies they were originaly 6. They went to a guy out west Rick ...... then they went east to Northbay to another guy who bought them and then sold them some time later to Shawn Parker in Toronto . I bought them from him when he finaly decided to sell them.
Here's some pics of the parents....
The Male...
The female....
The female with the 2004 litter....
The slugs and stillborns. with 11 more potential babies the count would have been 38 babies....
The litter, there's some killer pale and bright ones in the lot I'll take pics when they shed....
Last year I had a bunch of slugs ( My fault by the way ) 4 live very nice ones and a few like those. I didint make a big deal of it because stillborns have all sorts of weird patterns and colorations some times. Now this year the stillborns were normal looking and 4 of the 27 have the same pattern like last year stillborns. In my mind this suggests that it is genetic. I'll see what she gives next year and i'll rear back the four to breed between themselfs and the parents.
A pic of number one....Its like a reverse stripe with reduced pattern on the sides what you think? I never saw any other others does anyone heard or saw something like those? I'de be glad to hear about it.
The second one ...( the same snake on both pics)
The third one...
The fourth ....
Sorry low battery in cam...I'll post more pics when they shed anyways. I'll post some of the colombians that i kept for the show... I'm over the 200 mark with the boas & there's more to come. Another interesting project is the pastel suri's and guyana's ...I just hope they dont give me slugs.
Well thats it for now thanks for viewing and i hope you like.
