Do you ever get rescue helicopters landing in your front garden from the smoke show you have going on here??

Hah, thank you Thomas!
I’m very blessed and feel fortunate to have the ability to produce such amazing animals. I have to give credit where it’s due, to the incredible breeders I got my stock of animals from. Without their decades of dedication and USARK’s work fighting for our rights none of it would be possible.
Thanks for the compliment!

Got some nice shots of this girl outside this morning. Even though I’m in FL the season of outside photos is likely to end soon.
She hasn’t gone through her second shed yet. I expect once she does the colors will pop a good bit more. In person the yellow striping on her head is electric bright yellow, not something I’ve seen with any other dreams so far.

I am absolutely blown away and in love with the tiny bits of orange that she has.

Thanks Riley!
I’m pretty sure the little orange splotches are an indicator of YB in lavs. All the yellows in her belly make that apparent as well. Standard lavs have an all white belly, Confusion tends to have a white line down the middle of the belly where it would be black if it weren’t a lav… but this one has yellow all over it’s belly. Pretty obvious YB!

Did a little indoor session to get some updated photos for customers.
Pied (het lav) and Pastel Pied (het lav) from different clutches and different parents.
YB Pied (het lav). The boy is from the same clutch as the smaller pied in the above photos. I was initially hoping they could be Confusion but it turns out they are not.

I always tell people with Dreamsicles in particular, the difference between shed #1 and shed #2 can be fairly dramatic. Check out the difference it made for the above Super Pastel Dreamsicle:
Sept 14th, right after first shed vs Oct 21, right after second shed

Wow, that’s incredible how much more color has come into the snake over time. I typically stay away from pastel things, but I feel like it does really well in these snakes.

Lavender Het Pied Female from the YB BH Confusion Dreamsicle clutch.
She’s pretty high quality for just a standard lav I think!

Some updated photos of this dreamsicle female. 3 sheds down, 235 grams
Here’s a neat comparison between 1st shed, 2nd shed, and 3rd shed of this girl:

I see a lot of people super excited, here included, when the genetic powerhouses end up being female. Considering you need both sexes for a clutch, why are females generally considered the more valuable of the two?
Is it because they actually form the eggs, does this make them have more of a genetic influence on the offspring? Or is it simply because they literally make the eggs?
Been wondering for a while, and the genetics and lots of females in this thread finally reminded me to ask, feel free to delete if you feel this is out of place in this thread

Because the female can only lay one clutch of eggs while a male can be bred to multiple females.

Ah, that makes plenty of sense, thank you!
