A little bit of everything for everyone!

As requested, I took some more pics of some animals today after cleaning day was over.
First up is a group shot of some of my holdback female Pastels. Naturally, my favorite one was in shed, so she is absent.

Second is a request from Jen for more Spider pics. She is a Spider freak. Here are some holdback Spider females from this year.

Just for Robin. She wanted more Reduced patterns. The two that I shot last time are in this picture, along with the female that was breeding last week and an '06 female that we got this year, that was in shed last week.

Many people asked for more pics of my chainlink and my crownhead, so here are the two together.

Here is a partially striped girl that I bought in '05. She is one of my favorite normals from that year. Last week she was in shed, so I held off. She also has some really cool orange and red colors to her.

Lastly, how could I not take a picture of this. It is our first ovulation of the year. This is pastel female that was bred by my pinstripe. Come on Lemon Blasts.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed the show,

Coooooool. Those reduced girls are just awesome.

Great looking snakes!!:D

Nice I'll have one of each lol :D


Love the spider on the top right corner and love the normal reduced at the bottom.

:rockon:

WOW! I don't know what I like best. Great shot if the lump(ovulation) looks like she ate a football! You spiders and reduced are amazing. Were those spiders made with a reduced parent?

I too love the reduced spider in the top right - exactly what I would choose when I ever decide if I'll add one to my collection (a pinstripe female comes first!)


And thank you for the pictures of your reduced girls! Love the blushing on the '06 and really like the big girl at the bottom of the picture- she is so clean!

HUGE congrats on the ovulation - I really hope that you produce those lemon blasts!

good luck with it. I am hoping for luck with my pastel x normal but only time will tell.

WOW :bow:

Thanks for all the replies. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the pics. Raul, the females used to make those Spiders weren't extremely reduced. Some lack of alien eyes, but nothing special. By the way, I'll try to get another picture of the Spiderin the upper right corner that everyone seems to like so much. She also happens to be the Ringer Spider that I hatched this year if anyone remembers the pictures I posted last year. I did take a pic of her ringer spot last week, but they didn't come out good. Too dark.

I really like that upper pastel. If you ever loose your mind and decide to let her go please let me know.

Thar she blows!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rockon:

Your snakes are definately TOP-NOTCH! I am in love with those spideys of course.. awesome all around!

Crazy-gorgeous snakes you have there!! I noticed that the chainlink has a big, beautiful "J" right there on his back. That means he was meant to come home to me.... :D


And congrats on that awesome ovulation! Can't wait to see wee little lemon blast pips!!

WOW!!! :eek: Stunning animals! GREAT PIX!!! That reduced spider is awesome!!! :sunny:

Can't even pick a favorite, they are all simply gorgeous Tim! I'm with the others in wishing you the very best in getting some Lemon Blasts this year.

Tim all i can say is SWEEET :rockon:

NICE! Send those Spider females my way!

Beautiful Spiders!!!

Does anyone want to suggest a good book so I know what your all talking about when your saying 100% Het, Reduced etc. etc.?

Great pics Tim .... Congrats on the Ovulation ... the countdown begins ...


Neil

That bottom reduced girl is HOT, the crownhead is amazing. Awsome pics.

Thanks for all of the great replies. I've been wanting a Lemon Blast since I laid eyes on my first one in Daytona in 2005. Hopefully I'll be blessed. As far as sending any of those females to anyone, They're all mine. LOL.

Thanks Again,

There are two excellent books that would be a great addition to any ball python enthusiast's library.

One is Kevin McCurley's The Complete Ball Python - published in 2005 and the other is Barker & Barker's Pythons of the World, Vol II: Ball Pythons - published in 2006.

Reduced pattern means that they have complete lack of, or very few "alien heads" in the side patterning. If you notice Tim's reduceds, you don't see many spots in the side patterns.

For help understanding recessive, doms and co-doms, this helped me a lot when I was learning:
http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html

When you feel you have that down, then head on over to NERD's page for Genetics 101:

Edit - sorry for the thread hijack, Tim! :oops:

Wow! all were very beautiful! Best of luck with those spinner blasts!;)

Tim I love the reduced pattern females that you have there. I have one that threw a reduced Lesser and it rocks! Also I hope that you get all LemonBlasts in that clutch you deserve it!


Brock

reduced ladies :sweeet: .........................bless your heart!

No problem Robin. And Brock, thanks for the well wishes. I just posted a pic of that reduced girl that everyone likes breeding my Mojave. Hopefully we can get a reduced Mojave out of it.

This big girl up front definitely rocks my boat! http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ulke/pant1.gif :bow:

I see a couple of nice reduced looking Spiders, I'll take em! :D

Thanks Christie. Actually that little '06 girl in the back on the right looks almost identical to the one in the front. I can't wait for her to get big too. Maybe I'll try to take some pics of the two of them together.

Thanks, that would be lovely! :clap: That pic is really making me want a couple more normal girls. :rolleyes: Maybe the husband wouldn't notice 2 or 3 more snakes. :rolleyes:
