    Eggs on the ground
    What a day!

    Had eggs on the ground on my way to work

    Worked overtime

    Got home late due to traffic

    Photobucket crashed, had to open a flickr account.

    18 good and 1 slug

    What I saw when I got home

    Its crazy how they are still as chunky as can be even after laying all those huge eggs. Congrats on the nice clutch :gj: What was she paired to? Expecting any cool colors?

    I was expecting some silly parody of 'pants on the ground' but that certainly wasn't the case. Best of luck with the clutch! Momma must be glad to have those big eggs out of her.

    Re: Eggs on the ground
    Oh my God.. Those eggs are HUGE! Can you get some comparison photos of the female so I get an idea of her size? Just because those eggs are just massive so that female has to be a big girl too:O

    Good luck with those eggs! As always, I expect photos of the little ones when they are out of the egg:) I honestly have never seen any photos of baby Bloods right out of the egg:P

    Alright,

    Congrats. Fine looking clutch, can’t wait to see what hatches.

    How much water are you using in the egg boxes? About one inch? Let me know how that works for you.

    I used 3 layers of the light diffuser and filled the tubs up about 1 1/2 layers high. I've heard people having success with this method hatching a variety of eggs out.

    I also did some testing with different methods before she laid them, testing to see how much condensation built up, humidity levels...etc etc


    She was bred to a Lylly line VPI malet thats het albino, not really banking on her being het as well, just shooting for some nice reds.

    Here's an old picture of the male, I'll get a new one once he comes out of shed.

    Dude its SOO easy with these little babies!

    Get my fingers in position and then wham, get hit with some pee.....well I just wipe that off...

    Then just pop em, twice to make sure.

    Females are without a doubt females, males without a doubt are males, haha

    I just cant pop the bigger animals and was worried it wasnt gonna happen with these guys.

    You makin it out to the show tomorrow?

    yessir...hatchlings are easy. Older/larger animals are just a lot stronger 'down there'...they tend to put up more of a fight by curling their tails in and all that good stuff.

    Yeah I should be there when doors open...gonna drag my old man their. He has always been curious what they are all about...

    Awww, poor one eyed baby! No other defects just sell her as a pet, I don't breed so I wouldn't really care if one of my snakes only had one eye, they seem to do alright like that, have a friend with a one eyed RTB. Adds character.

    I have a little experience with bloods, Have 2 right now a black and Sumatran red, would love to adopt the one-eyed female you got in pics, they are all gorgeous but I have to agree it adds character and personality. Congrats and good luck.

    how old and how big where the parents when you first bred them I'm curious cause i got me a female yearling then getting a breeding pair of t albinos this winter

    Re: Eggs on the ground
    Female is around 5 or 6 years old i believe

    Male is 3 or 4

    Post pics of your animals, I'll try and give you a good guess at what they will look like as adults

    unsure of even who the breeder was as i got it from my cousins son who got it from pet shop who got it from a trade-in on another snake

    here's link to pic it's over at fuana classifieds in my album http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...pictureid=8264

    That snake is about as red as its gonna get

    It will likely darken up though as it ages, becoming more and more brown, especially along the spine.

    Id say it COULD be an import, only because it has those scars on its back, that or it was fed live and someone didnt pay attention and the rat chewed on the snake. The scarring seems to be common on actual imported animals.

    it's suppose to be captive born just the pet shop told my cousins son they got it from a guy that breeds for them but my cousin is related to the guy that breeds for them and he has never breed bloods.

    also that aint scaring thats what i thought at first to but it's got just that one strip of black scales on back only like 15 or 20 black scales in a row. they actually appeared while I've had her and all I've feed here is f/t well other then when first got it gave it a couple pinkies (yes i know Lil to small of prey but usually got at least 50 pinkies on hand trying to get breeding colony of mice set up so figured a few pinkies was better then 1 mouse i like to vary there food here and sometimes going a Lil bigger prey sometimes Lil smaller prey
