I seldom catch a good glow... but this time I did. :)

Antoinette, my normal female...

Before.

After.

Safe to say??? :)

I would not have caught it, but Jer was helping me with the snakes... and he NEVER does.

I told him to give her water and he asks me "who is this?" I calmly say... you know that snake... and there is a pause and he says "No seriously who is this?"...

I turn around and have a mini fit and yell "Get The Camera!!!" :D

Holy crap Bruce! That's what I'd call an Uber-Glow... I know it's not a real word but I'm saying it is now. Good luck!!!!!

wow shes on fire:)

Beautiful! She is 1000 watts of glowing :) Are you going to breed her and get babies?

Thanks, yeah, she is high wattage. :)

And she has been bred to my het blue hypo Yvon, so I will throw him in for a few last goes and see.

He is bit neurotic, he thrashes for the first 24-36 hours and gets all spazzy on her.

Bruce

Wowww... What a difference... :O

She certainly is stunning. You should take pics of all your females and look for differences like this, huhuhu. :D

Looks like someone switched snakes when you weren't looking. Wow.

Wow! Very impressive! :banana:

Heh, I had to go pull up her picture to make sure I wan't imagining how big the change was. :)

Big change, congrats and best of luck on a nice big clutch :salute::D

That is funny :rofl:.

Congrats now more wait!

Got eggs? :8: ;)

That girl is a blazin! I wouldn't be surprised if her tub was glowing because of her. :D

Congrats on the glow worm Bruce! :D

She has been lightening all season, but she kicked it into high gear the last few days. Easily she's doubled the magma.

All het... all girl clutch... I am down with that action.

Very cool, best of luck Bruce.

She is doing me proud... she is ovulating right now. :)

I am sure last year they had a longer time between the glow and ovulation, but I know a few have made me crazy before with not following timelines to a T.

Guess I have to get that incubator plugged in... or something? :)

B

Oh wow, how exciting is THAT... ????? :banana:

That's a glow!!!

Wow very nice!

He is stoked enough that his neighbors are complaining again about the noise :rofl:

heh... you don`t know my neighbours, they phone the cops when I am wearing outfits that are too loud. They would lose their minds if I actually let loose. :)

Have to say though... after having all my first out of the way I am remarkably calm this season. Just going through the motions.

But I know when I wake up to eggs I will do a little happy dance (or 10). :)

LOL!!:rofl:
I wonder what would happen if they seen you covered in snakes?

Congrats Bruce, i'm in the same boat as you.....A few girls of mine or glowin like crazy.....Im excited as I am sure you are :D:gj::gj::gj:

I brought this thread back to ask, why do ball pythons glow? I'm sure it has something to do with breeding I just wanted to know specifics.

Heh yea that's what I was wondering too, do the neighbors know about the snakes? :P She's very pretty, went from normal to what, almost vanilla?

Hey Zack... I have no idea what makes them glow like that... :confused:

I have heard it has to do with humidity to internal temps... but how it works, I don't know.

There are cases of snakes that lighten up and stay light, been 3 on this site that I have seen, but why that happens seems to be speculative.

Tim Bailey - Muddoc, had a theory (I think it was Tim) on why some lighten and stay light, perhaps it may be a similar thing at work, but just on a short term.

If anyone knows they can interject.

My neighbours do not know much about anything... so my snakes are off limits for them. :)

Bruce

What a glow! Congrats Bruce.

Wow, nice glow and good luck with getting some eggs from your girl!

Antoinette is on egg watch right now... so fingers crossed.

I palpated 8 follicles on her, so we will see. :)

She is cranky and twisting herself into knots so it looks good.
