The Stig - Pied Breeder for Lexcorn

Hi folks,

I have not posted in a while, but, there's gotta be a new thread for this occasion.

Our 1st ever 'hook up' with the Ball Python guys/gals :D

Here are the happy twosome -

The Stig (Pied) x My Hat (Wild Type captive bred)

........and the 'Happy Couple' shot:

Of course the fact that the female was reving up to bite my head off encouraged me to leave them in peace!

This is a wonderful feeling ...it does not, necessarily mean that eggs are a definate, but, it does indicate that the male is a good 'un :banana:

Lex

wow can do you have any other pics of that amazing pied?

Stig is gorgeous!

Justin

Nice pied, best of luck with that breeding.

Thanks for the compliments on The Stig guys........the boy is on the Avatar, however, I post this one for ya too:

He is only 6 months of age in this 'shot'..........must get some up dates when the weather heats up!

A cool addition to any Collection ;)

Lex

Very nice yes ill be adding one here soon to my collection :grabbed::partyon:

Sweet pied indeed, good luck with the breedings. :)

Well geez.. if you're just starting.. you're startin' with a bang! Gorgeous pied.. I hope that you get many little piedlets :)

Congrats :gj:.Very sweet looking pied also :cool: :cool:

man, I would give you a good $3000 for that pied right this very second...

EDIT: I just realized in the Euro that's only about $15...

*slooooober, droooool* :tongue2: What a fantastic pied!!!!

Thanks for ALL of your good wishes folks..........there's still a way to go before I, actually, have any progeny (if indeed the Gods smile on us & she produces eggs).

However, the fact that the male is a willing stud is a good enough start for me.........there's always future years. :D

Ya,

Don't believe in doing anything by halves.

There's not a lot that can beat a good Pied, in my mind, & this guy looks like he's going to be a superb breeder.

Thanks for your support in the Piedlet quarter ;)

Thanks for your good wishes :sweeet:

Thankya for your excellent good wishes...........:D

The Stig is sure living up to his namesake as he's real fast (i.e. he squared up to the task without a moments hesitation)!

Here is the next 'hook up' from our boy Sly.

I am, particularly, looking forward to any potential offspring from this guy as I thought he may not get the idea this year ;)

Some say that he was born a normal ball python, but he once constricted so tightly that half his skin turned white. All we know is, he's called The Stig.

Wicked Pied! Congrads!

Very Nice Pied ! good luck with that breeding project...

Cheers guys :D

This year has been superb & the 'prize' has added tremendously to our enjoyment of the hobby.

P.S. Derek, no candling..........what will be will be. :gj:

Doin' the Happy Dance :banana::banana:

Lex

Congrats, and nice pied!

Yup,

1st nose out & quite a surprise so soon.

No 1 & No 2 neonates are now in their hatchling boxes & resting before their 1st slough.

All others have slit & made an appearance with their heads stretched right outta the egg, however, the movement of the egg box & 'camera/lights/action' tends to reduce the whole environment to.........

........yup, a box of eggs with slits & no heads! :rolleyes:

Here are some up dates for y'all:

1st neonate - 100% het. Pied :D

All the Best.

Lex

Awesome work! Congrats on those beautiful kidlets!

I'm curious to know - after they all get out - how many have the "markers".

Cheers!

Hi Morphie,

You let me know what your description of the "markers" are & I shall inform ya in reply.

p.s. don't expect a speedy response as things are busy right now & I am not always on this site, or, indeed, any Forum at present!

Kind regards.

Lex

Very nice! I'm so jealous lol. That is one gorgeous pied male :) someday I'm gonna have one of my own (like someday when I'm done with college and have a better job) til then I'll just drool over everyone elses :). Any luck with the albinos? Did they ever give you any eggies?

Very Nice :) The picture of the girl looks like she was ready to strike.

Thanks Adam for your compliments on The Stig, he sure proved his worth this year :gj:

As for the bino...........well, no eggs from this lady.

However, there's always next Season & given that these ladies do not like to produce on an annual basis then it will allow for an enjoyable 2009 with further hatchlings to look forward to!

And 2009 will see the introduction of The Stig (Piebald) x het. Pied female.

So, all's good.

Well spotted Aaron,

The female is, indeed, known to strike at anything that's remotely warm in her vicinity!

I had imagined that I was going to feel her 'kiss' when I retrieved the eggs, but, she was amazingly patient...........until I replaced her into her new / clean housing (minus the eggs).

She sure gave out a howl of annoyance when she discovered her eggs were gone, don't think she will let me off so lightly the next time :weirdface

Ya,

It was my partner's show but I confess to enjoying it...........I prefered 'Enterprise' but the series was cut short in my opinion.

Tbh J Luke Picard took a massive hit of disfavour when he declared war on all motorcylces.....what's the matter with a few bikers roaring past one's large estate:rofl:

Cheers. Lex

Up date:

All hatchlings now sloughed & gender identified.

Now, I know that my wish was for 2.4 because 2 pairs are, already, 'On Hold' & I would, ideally, have liked to have retained 2 females.

The Results?

............2.4 :D :rofl:


Some 'shots' for you guys.

Yup,

These are 2 of the 100% het. Piebald hatchlings.

Lex

Up date!

Retained 0.3 from this clutch and although some of our males are, already, in 'lock up's with their 'intended' females I feel that these kids are still just that, kids, and another year to mature will be benificial.

Will post photo's soon.

Cheers. Lex
