Ok, sorry for the break there, crazy busy but I have all kinds of things to catch up on, so have some good photos to put up here.
It took me all this time to wrap up the breeding season with the boas and the ball pythons so now we can get to the Blood pythons and Short-tail pythons!
While we are waiting for the red stripes to hatch (30 days to go) I started setting up some neat females in their nest boxes. I forgot how fun it is to watch these girls with their heads resting in the entranceway of their box just watching what goes on around them.

The first blood python eggs are good and I am looking forward to the next clutch, which is het albino stripe to het albino stripe. I am going to photo some of the animals from this line today and put those up soon, they really are fantestic!

Well, it is about time we shifted to Blood pythons!! I realize I have been focused on the boas these past months, but I'm going to take a little break and focus on Blood pythons, which is a mainstay of our collection.
The symposium topic this year at the Daytona Expo in August is going to be on these snakes and Dave will be giving a talk and I will be giving a slide show on the various morphs and be on the panel that answers questions regarding their husbandry, breeding, etc.

We are getting closer to the deadline of April 30, 2008 to respond to the Notice of Inquiry for the possible listing of species of Python, Boa, and Eunectes as injurious species. Needless to say this is of great importance to all maintaining these species, as well as any exotic animal.
