Tonka is Home - For Real!

So, first I want to thank Ed (Wildmorph Pythons) for producing this beautiful boy, and Deborah (Stewart Reptiles) for "fostering" him for a few weeks until we were able to meet up last weekend. He was in shed at the time, and shed last night, so I have some new pictures of him. I absolutely adore this boy!

AND......Ed produced another gorgeous male spider this season, and we've worked out a trade agreement, and I'll be bringing this boy home (probably in November when we see each other in Birmingham). My strategy is to begin having 2 males of each morph so that I have a back-up male if one either doesn't click with a female I want to pair with them, or if one gets a RI during breeding and has to be pulled out of the rotation.

Here's Tonka Too or TT - who Ed says took his first meal (rat pup) tonight! Woot!!!

Very, very nice!

both are great animals!

Heh,

I like the TT name idea. :D

They are definately both lookers. :gj:


dr del

Cleanly marked,spot free, and high white. That's the way that I like them. :gj:

Wow Nice!

Daniel

Robin,
He looks great and has a fantastic feeding responce. As for the other boy. He is spotless and really bright, he's also one of the whitest spiders I've produced..:D

Dale, Spiders should in my opinion be spotless. Not to say that a spot or two don't happen but in my mind it just takes away from the look of the morph.

Beautiful spider Robin! I can't wait to see what beautiful offspring he will sire!

Sweet Spider Robs! But two of every morph!? :)

I guess! My plan is always to back up a male with a male of a different morph if I don't have a backup. I don't have the space to be able to back up every male. This year I lost out on the gamble with my Albino male not getting it done with 3 het girls. What can ya do?? :(

I'm like you I have one male.. If he don't cut it then I don't produce that morph.

I don't have a choice really. Too expensive for me to keep all those extras.

When you can make a trade, or hold back a male you produce - why not?

Well yeah, there's that! :cool:

sweet looking spiders Robin. I know I would have double of everything if I had the space.. next house next house well at least that's what I keep telling myself :P congrats again.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. And to think, when I first got into ball pythons, I wasn't really crazy about spiders. Now, I have three (1.2) with another on the way this fall!

that's one really nice spider... :)

sweet spiders!

That's one nice looking spider
