Granite x Het Ivory

Here's Alaranth, my granite female, ovulating. I caught her in the beginning stages this morning when I went to palpate her. She gave me a grunt and slithered off in the other direction, haha. Poor thing :) She has been breeding with my male BHB Het Ivory since February. I believe she had 6 HUGE follicles the last time I palpated her(week and a half ago or so).

She was the female I rescued last summer who had been kept with a male for the entire 3 years of her life. She surprised me with 5 eggs, all hatched and all were female(I lost one when the chronic RI issue came up). All are also varying degrees of granite(and ALL are EVIL bitey little witches, Hah!). She's generally much darker than this.

Good luck!!

They are both beautiful, and good job with giving the female a great home!!:)

Nice Becky!!! They should make some pretty babies.. no doubt! :D

I looked at the father and said, "Oh, wow, he looks like a yellow belly."

...Duh. "het ivory". I rolled my eyes at myself :P

Good luck with the eggs!

Nice Becky! They should make some amazing babies!

Wow, that yellow belly sure does live up to his name!! Gorgeous pairing Becky, now when you gonna post the Russian moons? :P

Haha, when I can find out how to capture their true colors ;)

Becky,
is your granite a proven granite if so that should be a sweet clutch!
good luck and keep us posted

Beauties! And ditto the good job thing!

She's only proven in the fact that last year all of her offspring were granites(neck breaks, flames, lots of black, clear bellies, defined granite markings in the alien heads, EVIL!). All 5 were female also. I still have 3 of them, and a friend has another one of the sisters. She's such a sweet snake, except on feeding day(she launches herself at anything). I like getting 6 snakes for $40 ;)

We'll see!
