Here is my Caramel Glow breeding!

Here is my Caramel Glow breeding a nice big Caramel female. She has big follicles so I am excited about producing some Caramels that will be 100 percent het for Ghost. Talk about speeding up the project. He has been a breeding machine!

Brock you've got some amazing snakes on your hands, hope you get beatiful babies from those two.

Thanks Nick I hope to get some more Glows this year. We will see if I get lucky enough!

Brock

Wow,Ummm... wow:weirdface Yup thats all I got.

Only great stuff from that pairing!!! Good luck on number of eggs Brock. :)

Holy Crap Brock, you are having one hell of a breeding season!!!!
Good Luck to you.

Hang on, I gotta wipe away these tears..

Beautiful Brock. Here's hoping for a big healthy clutch for ya!

I'm kind of curious as to whats in the tub labeled "monster"? Pics please.

I'm so jealous right now ;). beautiful snakes you got there Brock!

Both those BPs are beautful. I'd love to have one of their sons in my rack!!!

Thanks everyone. I can't wait for that clutch to be laid to put some Caramel het ghost girls in the racks! Powerful females if you ask me!

Monster is nothing special!

Brock

Very cool stuff as always Brock. Best of luck:gj:
Nice to see that glow is taking care of business.

Sweet :cool:

Brock, you've got some great animals! Good luck on that breeding pair!

GREAT project Brock, I'm really anxious to see the outcome of a Caramel X Caramel breeding, I'm not sure a lot of people have attempted it before. Please post pics when the eggs hatch.

:O Amazing, thanks for sharing!!

Mark are thinking that they are going to kink?

Brock

Awesome Pairing! They are going to have some hot babies!

Wow, that is a gorgeous pair! Their babies are going to be incredible!!! Good luck with them.:gj:

:O Dang, that's some nice eye candy you have there...best of luck with them

I'm really hoping they don't, or at least most of them don't. It's a mystery to me why some kink and some don't. You hear some people claim that your best bet to reduce kinking is to breed hets only, which I think is a big reason why you never hear of people breeding homozygous to homozygous. To me this makes no sense. If the kinking IS related or linked to the mutation, it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever whether the pairing was het to het or het to homozygous or homozygous to homozygous. Personally I've always thought that the kinking had some other reason rather then being a purely genetic problem. That's why I think it'll be interesting to see how the babies turn out, it should help uncover another piece to the puzzle.

awsome!!!

thats all i have to say about that!

Mark I have no idea why some kink and others don't. Wish I knew! If the clutch turns out to be a disaster I know that I won't do it again! I think that kinking just comes with the Caramel gene no matter where they come from!

Brock

Wow. That is nice just looking at the pic, much less imagining the offspring (and the next generation).

I've heard from 2 different sources now that caramels might be more sensitive to humidity while incubating and they do better (less kinking) if incubated at a lower humidity.

One was a post on here so I'll try to find the link.

Wow, you don't see pictures like that every day. Great pairing. Good luck!!

Hey Brock!

Is this the conception of the gorgeous (not a single kink) caramel het ghost we got from you at Anaheim (pics below)?
Either way, we were so glad to have spotted you there!!

Thanks for such great genes,

Looks like an great pairing & het or homozygous has nothing to do with reducing or increasing the expression of a genetic defect. They will be what they will be, here's to healthy offspring!

I am glad that you two like her. You two are very nice people! You have to love non kinked Caramels.

Brock

Brock, how did this clutch turn out? Did you get any babies born with kinks? Did all the eggs go full term? How many eggs did you get and how many babies hatched out?

I guess this proves that caramel x caramel=sucessful results for those of you who were wondering about a rumor that a caramel clutches have not been produced by a caramel female.

Wow Brock, you have some of the best!

WOW! Those are some gorgeous snakes! Very cool to see both of them together making sweet carmel love! :gj:

oh man. that pic is a thing of beauty!!!

SHOW OFF!!!!
LOL Keep us in awe!
EDIT: just noticed that this was from march. LOL
