Clutch #3 pipping mojos and more...

[PythonWallace]

Hey Jeff. I was just typing out another email to you about this thread. This girl was 1910g when you brought her over, and I just tried to weigh her, but she wouldn't stay still to get a good weight. She looks like she didn't even lay this year, and she's got to be about 1800g and pounding rats weekly. That picture I just posted of her was taken this morning. I'm sure you should get a nice big clutch from her and your lesser this season. She is definitely looking better than the other 4 females that laid so far. The other two babies are still squirming in their eggs, but haven't made appearences yet.

Congrats Jake. That is sweet. I can't wait to see it crawling around out of the egg.

I've said it before, but its seems like there are a lot of paradox's this year. There's nothing wrong with that though! Maybe paradox's aren't so "random" after all and there could be something else to them?

This is probably another discussion for another thread but I think we are only scratching the surface on the genetic issues. We are only thinking in simple recessive and co-dom terms..........and we use these terms loosely at best and make up our own! (for example, you'll never see the word "super" in a high school biology book!) Look at the platinum for example.........we still haven't figured this out and its been around for ~4-5 years? That's the exciting thing to me though............the time and effort involved to see something through.

Anyways, I'll stop rambling now.........! Nice snake, lets seem some pics.....

It's still not out and I couldn't take it any longer so I cut a window. It's definitely a paradox leucistic. So far there are 2 mojos and one normal out, with this one and three more still waiting to come out.





I'll post more when it finally decides to come out.

Hi,

Looks remarkably like the partyball which was supposed to be a pastel mojave or a pastel super mojave from the little I remember.

What are the markers (if any) for het russo?

**edit**

Found the pic - photo belongs to wes harris and is supposedly of a pastave x pastave;

I'm not sure if there are any markers for the Russo hets, but I would think that if this female is a het there would be at least one true lucy from the 7 eggs. I just told Jeff that it's definitely worth holding a few back and also breeding this girl to his lesser this season. I think the party ball was on the VPI site, and was a paradox lucy, or maybe a pastel paradox lucy.
