Thanks!

I'm one of these people that gets all the common side-effects from the C19 vaccine on every round. I'll definitely take the vaccine side-effects over getting the 'real thing' any day. :)

Of course the side effects aren't all bad...I do get some interesting fever dreams:


There was one where I dreamt that I hatched out an entire clutch of iridescent rainbow-colored ball pythons that slowly grew wings. As the snakes got larger they started to fly. My body was overheating and my mind was racing (stuck in an unrealistic scenario) trying to figure out the logistics of how I would need adapt my equipment and enclosures to keep flying snakes. A splinter in my mind kept digging in-telling me that things were 'not right', but, I couldn't break out of it.


Then another dream that seemed to be based on a prank call I heard somewhere. I woke up and my arms and legs were made out of angry reticulated pythons that were grafted onto my body. My gf was in the nightmare and demanded I get out of bed and go to work and I was like 'I can't! My arms and legs are snakes!' and she was not having it...I call it a 'dream' and not a 'nightmare' because I had no intention of going to work with snake limbs. ;)

Those are some wild dreams! :rofl: I'm glad to know you wouldn't consider going to work with snake limbs...I think people would talk. And you'll definitely need bigger enclosures (maybe a few extra houses?) for keeping iridescent flying snakes.

Wow they have come up awsome [emoji106][emoji106]

With my ball python clutches I've seen a bunch of unlikely outcomes this year...
The latest: Clutch #19: Firefly (Photo #76) x Lesser (#66) (8/8 hatched)
1 Firefly, 2 Fires, 5 Normals Hmmm...Interesting...

Interesting pattern on this girl: Het clown, possible Het Lavender Albino.

I noticed the patterning on the head of this one today, thought it was pretty cool...even if it is common for this morph.
Hypo Spider (HoneyBee)

Fire/Pastel (Firefly) and some local granite-y stones. :)

Sorting out BP genetics is a bit like sorting out stones. A love for puzzles & solving mysteries, as well as finding beautiful things, eh? ;)

I do not think anyone has stated it so eloquently, but, yes that is an accurate assessment. :)
