Ball Python - Pairings 2008

[Lexcorn]

This just has to be one of the best moments of this year's Breeding Projects.

Here's one mating that has overwhelmed my anticipation:-

The Stig (Pied Ball Python) x My Hat (Wild Type Ball Python):

......and the 'dear lady' in a thinking mode of going to bite my head off:



What a night

That's a very valid point there Layla!

As both parents are what you might say "quick off the mark" when it comes to biting your nose, it's certainly worth considering, eh?

The resulting hatchlings - if we are lucky enough to progress to that stage - will all be 100% het. Pied.

If they DO take after their parents in temperament then I hope that they, also, follow their fashion of eating, as both are extremely good scoffers

Sounds good to me! Wanting to bite noses isnt such a bad thing, just means they have lots of 'character' But eating is the most important thing and Im sure should you be successful in getting hatchlings they will relish food like theire parents!
