2008

I am still waiting for my first clutch of the year. My first clutch usually is the end of May or in July and August. I have no idea why but that is how it is. I feel like I might have some grate clutches. But as anyone will tell you it depends on nature. I have my fingers crossed.

Today was just a funny day. I was cleaning and feeding my pythons today. Well I looked down at one of my possible het albinos. This one hatched 4 eggs two years ago and no albinos. I have not placed a male with her in two years well I felt 6 eggs in her. I don't know if she has fertile eggs or not. Time will tell! Sperm retention?

Well I thought I would interject what I feel is a scam. The imports are here. You will see $8.00 or less in volume sold as “ish.” If you see this I would run not walk to the nearest exit. They are NOT proven morphs. Buy from folks that you can trust! It is a sad comment to make but I think it is needed to post this on my web.

Well my first clutch is hatching as I write this. dh snow x albino. So far one het albino 50% het snow and one albino 50% het snow two more eggs to go. Next is pastel x normal due next Sunday!

You know I have saw cheap normal girls for sale.....are they from folks you can trust? Are they imports? Who knows. I guess buyers beware! Oh and BTW my pastel clutch is just about out! Not bad 6 pastels 2 normals. Sex and pictures soon! Next clown. This year is going to be my biggest!

I purchased five 50% possible heterozygous clowns.
I bred them to normal females.
I raised the girl up and bred my male clown to six of these girls.
Only one girl laid 5 eggs and a slug.
Day 60 is this Sunday. I decided to peek on the clutch today.
Well 4 eggs piped and one has not.
I was so frustrated that I cut the fifth egg………yep another clown! Sweeeeeeet!
Drum roll please……..
2 clowns and 2 heterozygous. I feel soooooo good today!
Oh now one of my possible heterozygous male just became 100% heterozygous male!

I have been waiting for years and years for a breeding season I am having this year. I had 119 eggs on the ground and only 20 so far went bad. I had a caramel albino drop 4 good eggs to kick things off today. This is a 2000 het female and it was her FIRST CLUTCH! I out bred her to a male caramel. Hope to produce at least 2 caramels. OH I think I have a few more clutches to drop. Some of my girls reabsorbed the eggs I felt!

Egg laying is almost over. I have had 2 more clutches laid yesterday. So drum roll please I have had 134 eggs or babies on the ground with 22 bad eggs. I hope to see bees next..... Might have 3-5 more girls to lay yet.

Today I went in my ball room and I was checking out my albino x het albino eggs. All animals were out of the eggs. I saw another albino in the egg. I had twins [my first]. The sad part the one in the egg was dead! And was twice the size of the one that came out of the egg. Thirteen more clutches to hatch.

Well I hatched out this Spider. But never saw one like it. I posted on several blogs. I am told it will change and turn to a bee... I am hoping it stays the same. Here is the picture. Just click to enlarge.

Last week September 18, 2008 I had my right eye operated on. I came out of surgery and could not see but blurred vision. Today it is better than ever. My Caitlyn was real sick. Went into the hospital on Thursday and she came home today on Saturday! Damn was she sick. I paid over 1k for her recovery. But the look in her eye and tail wag today was worth every penny! I missed her so much! She aggravates me every day I have her but it is empty with out her. My little girl seemed real pissed today when she came home today. Now they are sleeping in the chair together! I love my girls so much......... So much for blabbing too much about non ball pythons!

Sales......Funny emails and phone calls. I do not understand why a person agrees to purchase an animal and never pay. Perhaps it is a ploy to aggravate me. I don't know. All I know is the joke is on them. Back in the good old days I would take the animal off the market. Then I would not receive payment. So now I just answer the calls and emails and just figure it was a "bogus" call or email. So if some folks want to waste their time just continue in your ways. After a call or email I can get it correct that it is fake one. I am usually correct 85% of the time! Oh it is my job to answer all business correspondence. I always enjoy a fake email or call. Sometimes I even laugh out loud! Thank God I have a strong base of customers to over ride the fake emails and phone calls. It is all part of the bizz.

Oh forgot to say it is breeding season! And caught my LA female locked by the het male!!!! That is what the bizz is all about!
