My non-corn collection

[67temp]

Thanks Chris, you're are welcome to swing by any time. If you don't still have my number pm me. A rack system would have taken up a lot less space but I really enjoy seeing them in the wall of tanks out on display.

These two were supervising as I was cleaning their tubs.

Quite a collection! Well done sir!

1.0 Axanthic IJ

0.1 lavander albino super dwarf retic

Jack is nearing 2yo and currently weighing in at 737g a few days after eating a weaned rat and a peep. So yes some retics are corn snake size.

A guaranteed super dwarf is the only kind of retic I would want to own lol. I always hear that the smaller ones are more feisty though. What are the temperaments of yours like?

 

[MysticExotics]

Your Granite is looking awesome!
Are any of your IJ's from Nick?

They really aren't that bad. If I hadn't just cleaned my rodents I'd take a video of them being handled. I'll see if I can take a video In the next day or two. Here is a prior description I gave. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1732751&postcount=8

Thank you, sadly I'm down to just the granite. She came from Jason Baylin and Owen mcyntire. I think they got their breeders from the same place Nick did which is Paul Harris over in the UK.

The axanthic passed in early December. Necropsy revealed that it was due to his kidneys. He came from Eric burke, who got his pair from Paul. Nick bought a clutch mate to him. I was recently looking at Nick's site since he just posted a bunch of ijs.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
I had to sell all of my Morelia, with my pending move. I will be getting back into them after I move back to eastern WA, after I get settled, which will be super easy, since Nick lives over there. LOL

This was my Granite female. She's 25% WC outcross. I'm sure by the time I'm ready to add them back in, he'll have the OC % higher.
She was one of the last ones I sold. She went to a friend of mine who's had her on breeder loan to prove out a couple possible het Granite males, I offered to sell her to my friend for a really great price.

The last IJ I had went to Nick. He was my favorite out of all of my Morelia.

When he was 2yrs old, his coloring was amazing! He muddied up as he got older, but I still loved his coloring.

Here are some short handling vids to show how his temperament is. Notice I'm not even using a hook.

It's never easy loosing an animal. A little over a week ago I had to have one of my dogs put down that was 14yo. When are you planning to move? I recently just moved 1.5 hrs and that really made me wish I kept my collection in a rack instead of tanks.

I think nick currently has some het granites that are listed as 62% outcrossed. I'm trying to decided if I want to go for another axanthic ij or a pair of captive hatched ij's from an Indonesian farm (just to get new blood into the hobby).

Both of your carpets were pretty nice looking. Have you been to a carpet fest or thought about going?

I'm waiting on my house to be built, then I can sell my house here and move. I will be moving across the state.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog too.

I coordinated the first NW Carpet Fest here. I haven't been in a couple years, due to my schedule though.

I want to get Inlands again, once I get settled. I love Inlands, Nick has some really nice ones!

 

[67temp]

How do inlands compare to the ijs as far as size and care?

About the same size or a little smaller, full grown. They don't seem as sensitive to temp fluctuations as IJ's can. If I recall, they need cooler temps for breeding.
They're more active, for sure!
