Here’s our first two for starting off.
Pewter Clown to Mojave hetClown to prove her out.

And Ultramel to Pastel Pied

I’ll be repeating our LavAlbino to hetLav pairing as soon as he’s out of shed. They gave us a great clutch (8) of the nicest and calmest babies last year, hoping for a repeat!

I have so many unfortunately I have to wait until I’m done moving cross country to start pairing again.

reptilian_rapscallions · December 4, 2021, 2:36am

What a terrible problem to have!
Good luck with the move! I imagine moving a big collection is a pain.

Butter Spider Ghost x GHI Mojave Banana

Oh, nice! You have some real pale noodle potential there. And I imagine ghi spider is a funky pattern.

overload_reptiles · December 4, 2021, 2:48am

Yeah. It’s gonna be awesome to see what comes out. I’m almost certain there’s a worlds first in there as well.

reptilian_rapscallions · December 4, 2021, 2:56am

It’ll be interesting, I find just het ghost tends to lighten and brighten so with the other light genes on there, wow they’re gonna be pale and bright…

First is a calico yb x bamboo pin

Second is a banana bumblebee Specter x normal

Yeah… 170 snakes and 250 rats. Definitely not my favorite part currently. I’m still not convinced they will all fit. I plan on bagging up all the juvenile-adults and putting them in totes to stack in my truck cab, but I was just going to put the hatchling tubs in boxes… I’m afraid I won’t have the room for that though. I think I’m gonna do a test run this week with the boxes and totes to see how I can make them fit.

This is why I haven’t moved lol. Moving my collection honestly terrifies me. After this upcoming year I’m doin it though lol.

I just started pairing a few of my snakes. Here’s a picture of one of my pairings for this upcoming “season”

And I totally forgot about moving my rodent colony that’s definitely it fun either lol

steelserpents · December 4, 2021, 2:26pm

I am definitely feeling uncomfortable, but no way around it now.

saleengrinch · December 4, 2021, 2:29pm

Totally understandable! I would be curious to see how your collection reacts to being moved and whether your females are reluctant to breed this season. I truly hope it all goes smoothly for you!

steelserpents · December 4, 2021, 2:31pm

I have one that is about to ovulate so I am hoping it goes smooth. She would choose this time to ovulate! brat

Fire double het snow X spider ghost

saleengrinch · December 4, 2021, 10:33pm

Love the spider Gwen reference!

perryjacob461 · December 4, 2021, 10:51pm

@saleengrinch it wasn’t my idea sadly that was her name when I got her and I liked the reference so I kept it. lol

perryjacob461 · December 4, 2021, 10:57pm

Also have a acid enchi orange dream yellowbelly X pastel black pastel I’m excited about but he doesn’t want to seem to lock up. Any tips?

saleengrinch · December 4, 2021, 11:30pm

Honestly patience it’s very early in the “season” to be overly concerned. Give them a couple week break and try again.

@steelserpents @saleengrinch Last time I moved residences, I used an enclosed car trailer, bagged my snakes and put them back in the racks. It was a 3.5 hour ride for them. I had a great season afterwards lol. In 2020 I moved the breeders to my warehouse during fire season and then brought them home a few months ago and have had no issues. I have a box truck with a lift gate so this time I didn’t even bag them, just pulled the waters and moved the racks.
