7 new additions

Well my 7 new kiddos are at the local sort facility awaiting delivery sometime this morning in the next few hours. I will be at work so my fiancee will be taking the order and should have them unboxed and in their individual bin locations of the rack by the time I get home. So when I get off work today and get to see them for the first time myself I will be taking some pictures for everyone. Super excited and jealous the old lady will be getting the first look. Seconds will pass like hours today but 9 hours from now should be some awesome pictures to share of a Spider, Enchi, Pinstripe, Lemon Blast, Lesser, Mojave and Banana.

Pretty awesome pick up, some really great genes to have. They all female or a mix of m's & f's? can you find a place at work to hide out and catch of few zzz's...a pick up like that is better than Christmas so i'm think the same trick of sleeping to make x-mas morning come quicker might work in this situation lol. Congrats, excited to see some pics!

No I wish I could nod off. I was so excited I made my Fiancee send some pictures as she racked them all for me I will get some better ones when I get home but here is what she sent.

Awesome... I was hoping to get some snakes with some attitude cause I thought it would be fun to have a taming project and I got my wish. The old lady told me she couldn't even pick up the Enchi. Said she had to use some salad tongs to put the critter in its bin. Apparently she is quite hissy and strike happy.

Congrats on the new additions Grt. They're all really nice.

Thank you. I will probably be shooting some better pictures of them myself when I get home and can actually see them for myself. See if I can get myself bit by that feisty Enchi girl before the day is done.

Ya nevermind the better pictures for awhile now that they have all had some chill time and some heat to them they are all fired up. I inspected all of them myself and was bit by the Spider, Enchi, Pinstripe, and the Lemon Blast at least a couple of times each lol. So they are going to just have to chill for a couple of days.

Chilling last night with the only snake that wasn't trying to eat my fingers. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...17f29713db.jpg

Glad they made it safe, a few of my females are strike happy but as of yet nobody has landed a blow. Nice pickups can see some cool combos down the line.

Ya they all bit me quite a bit only drew a little blood didn't hurt or nothing so it didn't bother me. My fiancee was watching me mess with them and she was freaked out, "how do you just let them bite you like that?" I just told her it didn't bother me or hurt so it is whatever and assured her that it is normal for the young ones to be a bit defensive. First season that I get them big enough I am hoping to get 5 clutches.

Gonna go with:
Spider - Pewter
Banana - Pinstripe
Lesser - Mojave
Lesser - Lemon Blast
Banana - Enchi

Than everything past that is up in the air I figured it would be a little ridiculous to be planning 3-4 years later just yet. I wanna see what I manage to produce first cause if I don't hit the snakes I am looking for I might breed some similar clutches the next season considering first time breeders will probably have very small sized clutches.

Oh ya weird thing I forgot to share with you guys. These got shipped from Wisconsin and were driven down to Memphis Tennessee and than flown from there to here Albuquerque New Mexico and on first inspection my Banana and my Lemon Blast each had a dented eye cap. I just decided it must have happened in shipping and that it would be fine after their next shed but than a few hours later they were both fine and normal. So kind of weird only thing I could imagine was they must have got messed up from some sort of pressure change from the flight and than popped back out like popping your ears.

Wow, seven in one hit! Great looking snakes, Congrats!

Thank You. Ya its been like 7 years since I have been in the Reptile hobby. I made a poor decision to sell my Savannah Monitor, Ball Python and Columbian Red Tail Boa because my ex Fiancee pressured me into it pending the arrival of our son. So when my new Fiancee just having given birth to my Daughter decided to buy me a pewter Morph for my birthday and expressed how cool she was with the hobby I just decided to jump in head first and start a breeding project.
