Intro and Pics :)

Hello everyone!

I'm new to BP.net, even though I joined quite a while ago. I've been a reptile hobbyist for years but started out with crested geckos. At this point my rhacodactylus collection has expanded to include gargoyle geckos and a chahoua, but my 'breeding' attention is turning to the wonderful (comparative) predictability of ball pythons.

So far I just have a few young snakes, but I do have future projects planned.

Some of these photos are a bit old. I promise to update as soon as the weather improves for outside pics. ;) I don't think my snakes would enjoy the snow.

Hot Wheels, a normal female that I picked up at a show. I chose her for her oddly light coloration, though of course it is starting to brown out.

Matchbox, another normal female from who-knows-where. Has a curiously clean white belly. Sorry but I only have one pic at the moment.

And finally, a VPI Axanthic that I just purchased on Breeder's Circle. He is pending better weather, so I have not received him yet.

At any rate, as you can tell by the tiny sizes of all of my snakes, I am not going to be breeding for a couple of years. In April I will be buying a mojave female or pair from one of the local breeders. I plan to work on several axanthic projects including producing the axanthic mojave (which I'm sure will be more prevalent by the time I get to it! But that's okay). I also plan to determine whether the clean white belly in Matchbox has any significance. Until then, they make great pets! :D

Here's me with a friend's snake.

Welcome to the site!!!

Love the whole collection, seems like your one who enjoys very nice normals, as do I! there is something about normals that just amazes me with the amount of variance.

The Axanthic is awesome, i hope he produces some nice babies for you in the future~

Welcome aboard!!;) I love your pictures very nice animals, The Cinny and pastel are great examples of the morphs great start.:gj:

Welcome to bp.net :salute: :) Sweet collection! And that cinny, a perfect example of the morph for me.

Thanks, guys. I have an awesome coach--my friend Sungmina, who is also on this forum. ;) She has great taste in snakes. :banana:

welcome to the site. Great looking snakes you have there!! I use to be big in breeding Rhacodactylus, loved the crested and gargoyles esp.

:welcome::welcome: Good looking snakes:gj:

welcome! nice collection, great way to start.

welcome to BP.net and nice collection!

welcome and nice start o collection!

:welcome: nice babies!

Wonderful collection, congrats !! Love those normals, too

Thank you guys! Yep, I'm no snob to normals. I feel like there are still a lot of hidden morphs in these guys. Besides, I'm pretty bad at telling a yellow belly from a normal from a spector from a heterozygous whatsit! :P

Welcome! Love the normals and the cinnamon! I like donut patterns in cinnamons and I also like cinnamon in my donuts :D

Haha, too cute! :P Looks like you have a nice collection yourself...wow, only one male!

Welcome!
And nice collection you have there :)

Welcome to the site and the addiction!! We all have to start somewhere and it looks like you've got a great start! Sweet axanthic by the way!

I can't wait to actually see my axanthic in person. : P

You got a really lovely cinny!!! :O
