Revisiting the 2011 Holdbacks

Back in September 2011, Living Gems choose several holdbacks from its 2014B litter -- our only one of that year.

Three years later, it is time to revisit those four snakes to determine who stays.

This will be a two-step process.

For the males, we will decide relatively quickly, with the winner joining the LGR lineup as breeder stock, and the runner-up either being promoted to “show snake” or retired to a pet owner, there to live out his days in serpent luxury.

For the females, after taking input from our customers, both will be bred once to see who produces the better babies as a final decision factor. After taking all of the data into account, the winner will join the LGR lineup as breeder stock, and the runner-up either be promoted to “show snake” or retired to a pet owner.

On the male side, here were our holdbacks at six months’ old:

Everest


Kilimanjaro


On the female side, again at six months’ old:

Heliodor


Morganite


A whopping 39 months, 99 meals, and 1750 grams later, here is what those same holdbacks look like....
