Re: Calling all snake breeders...
You know what's crazy? They will ship Reptiles as long as it's -20°c here in Canada but they won't ship if it's under 40°f in the USA!
I lived dubia ST Charles for a couple of years and my cousins live in Wheaton still.

Guilty as charged, I'm one breeder that won't ship below 40. I know they can be shipped in lower temps relying on heat packs to keep them warm. Problem is, if anything goes wrong, the snake may not survive. And I've seen a LOT of shipments have problems, delays are not all that uncommon and although typically delivered second day I had one take four days to get there. I've also heard of heat packs failing, not lasting for as long as they are supposed to. In any of those cases with temps below freezing you're seriously risking the life of the reptile.
My babies arrive safe and sound, every time.

Scott Smith's All Animal Expo is in Wheaton twice a month. The only reptile expo I know of in the area. Always a good time........ when you have $$$ to spend.

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
Another question to BRB breeders/enthusiasts...... and effort to make me feel better about choosing a High Orange/Bold Crescent male over a dorsal stripe male..
When looking at the collections of all the reputable breeders we all know and love, I see no animals with remake about dorsal patterns. Tons of choices in lateral markings, but both dorsal.
Let me guess, dorsal patterns are not "proven," correct? So, why would it be that the brother of the striped male in question apparently has insane dorsal striping? Doesn't that prove anything?
I'm still really trying to get a better grasp on the roles of genetics and what I can "expect" them to do.
Thanks everybody!

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
I can't answer, but god I hope someone finds and proves a dorsal pattern morph, I would be first in line to buy that one. I love snakes with full dorsal stripes.

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
I agree. I think a dorsally-striped Pearl would be really cool. That was my goal until I learned this. Now I'm sure one of the pros will beat me to it! My secret is out! Dang it!

Re: Calling all snake breeders...
How about holdbacks? IMO it's really hard to tell by looking at a neonate, exactly what they will look like when they mature. How does one determine which/how many to hold back? I understand some are obvious, clean patterns, the side marking that you were trying for etc. What else makes a baby BRB stand out from the rest of the litter? I think it sounds like a silly question, "how do you know which to keep?" "Well, keep the animals you like the best!" I guess my poor is, most of the babies seem to look so similar, or is it just obvious when you see a holdback? Am I making any sense?
