Julius is now a man...

Hard to believe my little boy is all grown up... he weighed just 93g six months ago, and now he's an 800g stud. :) Since my normal girl Mona appears to be developing, I introduced Julius to her - and they were locked within hours. Here are some photos of his first time, LOL.

P.S. She's also been hooking up with Toby the Pastel for months, so this will be a fun "who's the daddy" clutch... perhaps even a two-daddy clutch? :oops:

Check out her swollen belly... and she's only eaten 1 small mouse in the last month.

Weighing from a few weeks ago (he's around 850 now)

Nice looking Mojave and congrats on him locking up!

Thanks! :) He was bred by Justin Kobylka, and I couldn't be happier with him so far. A little on the shy side, but I think he's the prettiest mojo around... of course I'm a tad biased, LOL.

Very nice!!! Congrats on the lock :gj:

Congrats and Good Luck!

Congrats!

Thanks guys/gals... I checked on them about an hour ago, and they were still locked tightly. Go Julius, go Julius, go!!! :banana:

Very excited about this pairing, and I really hope she makes some mojos for me... Nerissa has only locked with Toby (pastel), so it will be nice to have two different morphs in these clutches. I know they're nothing fancy, but it's exciting for me being my first snake babies EVER. ;)

P.S. I plan to hold back a female pastel or two, and a female mojo if I get one... the rest will be sold locally (I already have a buyer), unless anyone here is interested. I already know of one member who wants a female pastel, and another who might take a mojo. :gj:

Wow! What a hard worker he's become. :) Best of luck with everything and I hope to see a clutch update before too long!

Justin

Sweet :gj:,good luck :D

I need to beef up my little man so he can have some dates with his Girl...Both 100% het pied. shes about 1100g and hes 350g im hoping for a late season clutch. but who know, maybe ill wait till next season.

Btw that is a georgous mojo, I want one so bad.

Can you believe how big & studly he is? :) The other snakes I got from you are growing normally, and all are fed appropriate meals... my het male is around 500g now, and the het female (who was 450-ish when I got her) is around 840g. Julius is a monster, LOL.

I'll definitely keep you all updated on the clutch(es), which I hope to see pretty soon! If Mona is building right now, when do you predict I'll see eggs? About 8 weeks or so??

Julius says thanks. ;) My '09 boys hit breeding size more quickly than expected, and I only have 2 breedable females right now... so Nerissa got to meet Toby & Vinnie, while Mona was paired with Toby & Julius. Should be interesting to see the results!

Here are some post-mating "snuggle" pics... they were locked for over 24 hours, btw. :gj:
