Jungle Boa Het Albino

Larry — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:56:25 +0000

Last night I was taking pictures of Jungle boas het albino that I’m selling. I found one I really didn’t realize I had. When I say I didn’t realize I had her, I mean I didn’t know how stunning this boa was.

I was in awe by this girl. These pictures do her no justice at all. In person, her color is so bright and amazing. I was taking pictures of boas for sale. However, this girl will probably stay here.

What do you think?

A Nice Hypo Boa

I was taking pictures last night of boas I’m going to list for sale. I have a couple orange tail hypo boas from last year that I have been watching mature and trying to decide whether to keep or not. This female is turning out real nice. I love the big saddles on her tail. She may just have to stay here.

Water Bowls For Baby Snakes

Larry — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 07:18:58 +0000

I start my baby boas and ball pythons in 6qt shoebox tubs. I’ve always had a problem with the snake spilling their water bowls. Recently, Clay English told me about a style of deli cup that he uses. I ordered two cases and absolutely love them. I have over a hundred baby boas and some baby ball pythons all using these cups now. Not one spilt water bowl. Not one. The cups are just tall enough that they cannot be flipped over.

You can find them here: Link to deli cups. The picture on the website is wrong. Trust me, you will love these as water bowls in 6qt bins.

Once my babies outgrow the 6qt shoebox tub, I move them to a 15qt. I have two styles of the 15qt tub. One is the Iris STC-410 and the other is the Sterilite 1754. The deli cups work in the Iris 15qt tub too. However, the Sterilite 1754 is a taller tub. Therefore, for these I use heavyweight crock dishes.

Marge had her babies!

Yesterday was a good day. I came home from work to find that Marge had her babies. This was a Dubay Line Orangetail Hypo boa x Salmon Jungle boa breeding. I haven’t pulled the babies yet, so I’m not sure what the count is. I do know that there are a lot of Jungles. I’ll be keeping a few from this litter that’s for sure!

Once the babies start moving around, I will pull them and get a count. Here are some pictures of the litter.

She’s Gonna Blow!!!

This is Marge. She is a Dubay Line Orangetail Hypo boa. As you can see, she is HUGE. Actually, the pictures in no way show how stuffed she really is. She still has about 2 weeks left. I can’t wait!!! She was bred with a really nice salmon jungle boa.

This is the same girl that produced my arabesque litter last year. She is twice as big as she was with that litter. Maybe twice the babies?

I was so happy with the babies she had last year. The color she passed on was amazing. With each shed those babies keep getting better. These babies should be even better!

Amazing Baby Boas

On August 18, 2007, our pastel hypo red tail boa which was bred with an arabesque male had babies. This was her first litter. She gave us twenty-six amazing babies. Five hypo arabesque, nine arabesque, four hypo, and eight normal babies. There were no slugs or still born.

Here she is in a dark phase…

Here’s a pile of baby red tails…

I was really amazed by this girls babies! Before they had their first shed, I could tell they were awesome.

Of the five hypo arabesque babies, I’m keeping two. A male and a female. Here’s a pre-shed picture of a hold back hypo arabesque…

Here’s a picture of an arabesque baby. Check out this guys tail…

This is a post shed picture of the hypo arabesque above. Notice how bright and clean she is…

Another…

These babies will make for some terrific future projects. Imagine the potential of these babies when injected into any project such as Arabesque Sunglows, use your imagination! We would love to hold all of these back, but just can’t keep everything. I guarantee, whomever ends up adding these animals into their collection will not be disappointed!
