New little red head
Today I just got a new little guy in the mail. I bought him a couple months ago and it took until now for the weather to straighten up enough to ship. He’s an awesome little dude. Atleast for straight out of the box, he has a very calm attitude and a light coloration for an orange head Sumatran. I needed to get little miss kitty a boyfriend, and I think he will fit the bill well. Now the fun of watching him grow. I’ve gotta thank Ryan Boyd for the little guy. He breeds some great looking orange head sumatrans.
Now to decide on a name.
Thanks for looking,
Kylehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3986c5024a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ac96ea23e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2d1a0de9a8.jpg

Thanks everyone. I’m excited to see him grow. He’s in she’s tight now and coming down from a deep blue. I think I’ve came up with a name. My girl is miss kitty, so he will be ‘Tom’. As in a Tom cat. I think it’s a fitting enough pair of names.

Here’s little Tom right after his first shed here. Which he went into shed immediately after arriving. He was a little huffy when I picked him up to remove the old skin.

Juice, my Borneo STP is a bit huffy at times too. But so far all hiss no bite. He'll sometimes let out the wimpiest little hiss, but that's it. Closed mouth, no strike position, no actual strikes.

Congratulations! I have been wishing I had a pair of orange heads! It is my understanding that orange heads are basically a different species (or locale?) than the black heads and chrome heads. From what I understand, it isn't possible to produce orange heads by pairing any combination of chrome heads or black heads. Whereas, chrome x black, chrome x chrome, black x black can produce both chrome heads and black heads. So, i'm curious if it's possible to produce orange heads by pairing one with a chrome or black head? A lot of people might say it would be best to keep the orange heads pure by breeding orange head x orange head. What are all of your thoughts on this?

This little bugger is still being a picky eater and only wants live. He seems be be getting a bit darker, or Atleast his dark spots are getting more black. I’m hoping to get him into FT but I’m gonna wait until he has a bit more size before I try to wait him out.

Yes, that's all correct. Orange-heads are the northern versions and black/chrome heads are the southern versions so they're entirely separate populations and shouldn't be mixed. I've also heard that Orange-heads are a bit smaller.
Chrome and black heads seem to be the "same" in that you can get mixed babies out of a single breeding and they come from the same population. I believe you can even get chromes from two black head parents and vice versa.

Glad to see he's still doing good! He is gorgeous!

Here’s an update on my little boy Tom. He’s up to about 375g and has been taking FT the last month or so after he got a bit to the eye from a large weanling rat. He never showed interest in FT until after that incident. Which he recovered great, no noticeable damage whatsoever.
