Finally one I can mark on the calendar

[Bruce Whitehead]

I suck, I mean really suck, at timelines with my snakes.

Building vs. an ovulation, pre-lay shed.... never met her.

But THIS time... I can say with 93% certainty I can get ready to mark the calendar.

Although this girl did have 3 pre-lay sheds last season...



My sweetest of all sweet snakes Olive having her pre-lay blue. There is a water dish under her. She came to me as a 7 year old (and 3 kg) virgin and gave me 9 eggs last year [5 pastels (4.1) and 4 normals (3.1)].

I have said it before, but if I HAD to take a wife, then Olive would have to wiggle into a ring for at least that one day. She is my girl on every level and in every way.

And who Da Daddy(?)... you ask?



You will know Da Daddy by the guilty look on his face and the side eye he gives when the paparazzi show up!

Prescott, my genetic banded male (Tiger - Oscar line).

What does Papi want? Papi wants lots of banded reduced patterned females! That is what Papi wants.

And since we are on the topic... a pic of my stunning Natasha! Crappy pic, but a sexy snake. Last seen canoodling at Chez Lezard with my pastel male Zoltan one night, and spreading the love only a few days later to my Fire male Ash.



Not to be outdone Ash was later seen at a local hotspot taking solace in the coils of one Stella Dubois!!! (their age difference only rivaled by that of Madonna and the Baby Jesus).



But it has been rumored that Stella had her eye not 3 days prior on a certain dark and swarthy YB male (with amazing natural highlights) known to these parts as Rashid (de Playa).



Yeah... I need a blog. Or a drink.... or a Blog called Drink!!!

Bruce, that was an awesome snippet of the Ball Python Diaries soap opera blog you had going there. BTW, thems some fine looking girls I'd swing for!

Connie, you can hit my snakes anytime you want.

Thanks all. I am pretty happy. Olive is my demon seed, drives me nuts. It is her fault that I doubt my capacity to note even the most obvious signs, but this time I think I have definitely thwarted her attempts to be sly!

She is way too late to beat Deb's girls, but she'll make up for it in clutch size I am sure...

you know you're a herper when the word balls in a sentence brings reptiles to mind, instead of anatomy.
