Hey everybody Another clutch of opals, lavenders, snows, anerys, normals, and amels hatched out a few weeks ago and I just now finally got the chance to get some decent pics and stuff. The opal has only had one shed thus far, and look at it! I love this snake! It's the only opal that has...

Hey Could this little guy be considered a motley or maybe semi motley? I had a few hatch out similar to this but he has the most diverse and I think most beautiful pattern. I especially like the starburst looking pattern on his head. Whatever he is I think he's the prettiest lavender I have...

Okay this is the last time I'll post pics of these guys (until after they shed a few times at least :) ). The amel pic is the only amel we hatched out of the group. The anotherguy pic gives a good representation of what all the normals in this clutch look like. And of course the lavender pic...

Hey These guys came from a breeding of anery het opal X normal het opal. I'm having a little trouble telling what is what. The pic labled opal I suspect is an opal (what else could it be??), but I got 3 of them out of a total of 12 eggs...that doesn't make sense. The pic labled lavender I...

Well after a 62 day incubation the opals and lavenders are hatching out! So far I have 3 opals, 3 possible lavenders (I'm having a lot of trouble telling the difference b/w a lavender and a normal), and one amel. I'm really excited. Here's the problem though. The genetics simply say this...

Hey guys I just had a clutch of normals hatch out for me yesterday. While I was sorting the hatchlings this morning, putting them into separate containers, I noticed one hatchling in particular had a strange thing going on. I guess the first thing that made him stand out to me was he had a...

Remember how pink the hatchlings looked before? Well they shed and now look a lot more like amels, and really pretty ones too me thinks. I offered a few frozen thawed pinks last night, only one took one though. Guess that means I'll be making a trip to the pet store for 24 live pinks Monday...

Hey everybody! After 52 days of incubation my clutch of eggs is hatching! These are the product of my big amel female (possibly a sunglow) X my albino okeetee male. These guys are just perfect! The pic doesn't really accurately show it, but these guys are very pink, not what I'd expect in...

Hello I know that opal is amel X lavender, but I am wondering exactly what the pearl corn phase opal is? I am thinking it is amel X lavender X anery A?? The reason I am asking is because I will have some opal hatchlings in a little over a month and they will all be het for anery A. Some of...

Hey guys and gals

I suppose I'm going to go ahead and be rebreeding my amel who just give me the 28 or so eggs. She's ovulating again, the male is ballistically trying to get out of his cage and get to her. If she's going to ovulate I might as well get a good fertility rate, let her energy put into reproduction...

Good News! My female finally passed the last egg 8 days after laying the main batch. I'm glad now I did the 'benign neglect' thing as Rich does with his females, and didn't do something more invasive. It's a huge nasty egg, it looks like a small egg kind of attached to a normal sized egg at a...

Hi My big amel female I think is now eggbound. She has one egg remaining that is right at the vent but hasn't come out...she started laying on Sat. night and was finished with all but this egg Sunday afternoon. She still has not laid the egg and is no longer having contractions. How long...

Finally! Just got home from a party and decided to check on that troublesome amel female of mine. Found her coiled around a nice clutch of healthy white eggs. And the cool part is I counted around 15 and she's not even halfway done from the looks of things! YIPPEE! Just thought I'd...

I was bored earlier tonight and was doing a little research and found this very interesting article about snake reproductive physiology. It's talking about green tree pythons in the article, but I bet some of the events that occur are similar to corn snake physiology. I don't know, this kind...

Well it's day 6 since the pre-egglaying shed. I've had the nest box in there since Tuesday. She spends some time in it but for the last couple days has been constantly exploring her cage, moving water dishes and aspen bedding around. So the nestbox wasn't to her liking. I then read a post...

Okay, I wrote a few weeks ago about my huge female that was possibly gravid. I say possibly because now I am totally not sure. She just shed today, first bred on March 5, so the timing of the shed is right. However, she never really swelled up like I expected her to. Other gravid snakes I...

Well the amel female that bred but never shed is now definitely gravid. It just really started showing up in the last few days...her entire lower half of her body is swollen (at first it was just the belly scutes that kind of pooched out) but now the scales are being stretched and she's just...

Hey everybody I have a question about one of my females. She's been out of brumation since Jan 20, and she has yet to have a post-brumation shed. I don't know for sure how old she is, but she is a big husky corn, about 52" long. I bought her last summer at a pet store, couldn't resist...

Well, mating has finally started aroudn here (for teh snakes anyways). My small female shed yesterday and went in with the male today, but I didn't stay to see mating on that one. But a few minutes ago I put my big amel female in there (who hasn't shed yet by the way) and he went right after...
