Well, as the title says I have my first true "project snakes" in hand for next years initial breeding(s). I had been thinking about doing this project for some time now and had not noticed until recently that somebody else is already way ahead of me. These were sold to me as Hurricane Motley's, and knowing that darker colored animals make it a bit harder to see the "ring" unlike say ghost or snows, you have to look pretty close to see it. I did see some of the other pics from their siblings and you can most definitley see it in the lighter colored snakes. I did not however notice the "cubing" going on before I bought them........and am still to new to know if that means anything, good or bad. Anyway, these 05's are small 2 year olds having been fed on a 7 day schedule for quite a while now so I plan on fattening them up a bit and getting them read for my first brumation at the end of this year.
I have a few more in my collection that will be breeding with these two in the future, plan on picking up a couple more hatchlings this year as well and hopefully one adult female to start off next year with two different pairings. Once again, I finally got some outside pics today as the clouds for the last 2 weeks finally left us. The colors shown are true to life and this pair are the most docile snakes that I own. Always out and about in the tubs and never wanting to go back in after being out. They came from Don & Angel (DNA Snakes) Gallagher who had bought them from Hurley/Serp as hatchlings.
First up is Trixter..........1.0
