Thanks Tim - she is technically a 66% Het so my odds are better but we will have to wait and see...

I will keep an eye out for them. :D

Tell me about it...especially when (as a new ball breeder) you are REALLY looking for those signs :) The emotions were on a roller coaster - she is :) . she isn't :mad: , she is :) , she isn't :mad: , she is and did :carrot:

Thanks Alice.

Yea he is a stud...I offered him a cigar today but he passed.

I meant to ask you do you hold/mess with your snakes alot. He is by far the friendliest ball I have. As soon as I open his tub he crawls out on his own, into my hand and then sits around my neck while I go about checking on everyone else...he is just a really friendly snake (never skittish or aggressive).

Thanks again.

Sean,
The poss. Het females that I proved last year were 66%'s. I hope you prove yours too. By the way, I have plenty of animals from Cory, and they are by far the best animals in my collection. Eat like horses and are friendly as can be. Well I do have two that were mean as can be, but one is nice now, and one is a Het Albino female (they are known to be nasty.)
Congrats again,

:confused: :confused: :confused: please elaborate.

It has been said that Het Albino females can be mean, and also be bad eaters after 1000 grams. I have three females, and two of them were meaner than any snake in my collection. One of them, after reaching adulthood, did calm down, but the other still tries to take my arm off every time I open her cage. As for the weight thing, my first female made it to breeidng size by her secon winter. The other two did not, and the mean one might not make it to size by her third winter. Some believe that these traits come from some of the original Hets that Bob Clark made from his original Albino.

No excessive handling but I do find that most of my VPI Axanthic stock is very calm when handled. However, they also eat like horses and are easily trained that when a cage is opened it is feeding time.


I am glad he is working for you. Hopefully she will prove out for you!!!
