New Additions from Omega

New additions finally came home from Omega Pythons today!

I snapped a couple of pictures with my cellphone. They are not the best quality but I wanted to get them up here LOL. I bought a 2011 female black pastel sitting at 400grams, and a 2006 female spider sitting at 2200grams after her breeding season fast so I am expecting a heavy Spider girl come this next season.

I'm planning on taking a collection update photo shoot soon hahhaa so I'll have better photos of these girls. The spider is in shed so she's darker than she normally is...

0.1 Black Pastel -400grams

0.1 Spider - 2200grams

This Spider I bought specifically for this breeding season she gave 9 good eggs in 2010 and hasn't been bred in 2011 so I am expecting a heavy girl with a 9+ clutch for next Year :D. I know it's hard to see in the pictures but she is very high white. Her white comes up over an inch and a half on her sides.

Both of those girls look great and are awesome additions!

What do you plan on pairing the Spider girl with?

Beautiful girls, congrats on the pickups!

Thanks :D!

I plan on pairing her with this guy as long as he keeps putting the food into him like he has been.

But I am also contemplating throwing in my male pastel het. axanthic to get some PH axanthic bumble bees to put back into the project.. She's capable of laying at least 9 so I want to get as many plugs into her as I can and the lesser is still a little on the small side so I might throw both in seeing that they are all co-dom genetics and there will be no question as to who the parental counterparts will be. I do have my heart set on Lesser bees, but I also want him for my lesser female. I wan't Blue Eyed Lucy's pretty badly lol.

Cheers,
Chris

Sounds like a great project! Can't wait to watch it unfold :gj:

Congrats! :gj: They're both lookers!

Thanks guys, Im pretty excited about them.

I only paid $100.00 for the Black Pastel, and $500.00 for the spider.

That's pretty much what my face looked like when my buddy Chris from Omega texted me and asked me if I would be interested. He had her listed for $150.00 but I guess I'm special haha. I will be getting her a super pastel boyfriend next year - that way they will both be ready for me in 2014 ;).

Great deal and great animals!

Nice snakes and nice deal!:gj:

thanks guys.

How I love those Black Pastels!
Great pickups! And even greater deal!

I had actually never seen a black pastel before her. LOL They are not all that common in this area. I didn't want to put her in her bin when i got her home hahaha. I keep peeking in and wanting to play with her but i guess i;ll let her settle in.

Great deals and beautiful snakes the high white spiders like the one you just picked up are my favorite! That lesser should throw you some reduced pattern lesserbees he is a great example also!

Very very nice! Congrats!

thanks! mine too! I really like the high white and I love the contrast in the lesser, it's almost mojo looking! I'm hoping to make some really awesome lesser bees lol.

Congrats on the pick-ups! Gorgeous animals and an amazing deal! Just noticed you said you wanted to breed your lesser to your other lesser? I thought you weren't supposed to breed lesser x lesser for fear of defects?

Yup. Lesserxlesser, butterxbutter, and lesserxbutter tend to throw bug eye BEL babies.
Lesserxmojave and butterxmojave are safe.

I don't know how harmful bug eyes are, but they don't seem to hinder a snake. It lessens a snakes value and it does look quite disturbing. There's a thread here called 'worst bug eyes I've ever seen' or something like that. Check that out. Gives a pretty good example of a bug eye BEL.

They both look good!
