Hi everyone! Long time reader first time poster here. I just thought I would share a few pics of some of the females in my collections. These are all the girls I've raised from little hatchings and after 4+ years they are finally mature enough and big enough to bred. The first female is a melanistic girl that is one of the darkest I've ever seen and seems to get darker as she ages. IMG maybe? She also has a pearlescent sheen to her.
I don't have anything I would want to breed her at the moment so she's going to be a virgin for a little while longer. I was hoping to breed her to a het lav to make some dark poss hets and one day make a killer lav albino. One can only dream. :)

The second female is my favorite. My high contrast albino 66% het VPI axanthic. Going on 4 years old and barely tipping the scale at 1200 grams. Shes eats great but doesn't seem to grow to well. I'm hoping to pick up a DH snow male or axanthic poss het snow to prove her out. I put her next to the mel girl so you can see how dark the mel really is.

Last but definitely not least what I call my mystery ball. One of my biggest girls nearly 5 feet long and over 3k grams before laying a 1000gram 9 egg clutch. She is one of my first ball pythons and over 7 years old. This is her first clutch. I'm hoping she proves out and gives me babies that look like her. She has that cinny pattern going for her with the side blushing but no cinny belly pattern. Chocolate maybe? Who knows. We'll find out in 30 days.

Incase you were wondering my biggest female is over 5 feet and nearly 4k grams. She gave me a nice clutch of 8 huge eggs. She's a nice clean normal. I will take pics of her later.
As a bonus here's a pic of my little duckling. My son Max.
