Some of my favorite 2023 holdbacks/mysteries/TBDs. Can't wait to grow this batch out a while longer and maybe run some genetic testing in my lines 😸

Three more 2023 hatchlings are ready to go now ❤️

1. 2023 super pastel vanilla/fire female
2. 2023 pastel vanilla/fire male
3. 2023 pastel vanilla/fire male

Nothing fancy but some great additions for pets or for fire complex projects!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All snakes are guaranteed to be physically healthy and properly sexed. Genetics are determined to the best of my ability and I encourage potential buyers to ask questions should their genes not be clear to you.

Hatchlings will have a minimum of five meals and one substantial bowel movement before being made available.

We take great steps to ensure our snake collection is kept free of mites and nidovirus. All new snakes are kept in quarantine for at least three months and must show no proof of mites or receive a positive nidovirus test during this time. As such, we sell all snakes with a guarantee of being free of mites and nidovirus, though as a general practice recommend quarantining all new reptiles for a minimum of 90 days in a separate room from other reptiles.

This super pastel vanilla/fire boy was the first of his clutch to have his second shed, so now he's ready to go 😁

This cute little enchi female took a bit longer than her sister to establish, but has become ready to list the same day her sister sold. I promise it's not the same snake 😂.

1. Pastel and super pastel vanilla/fire females
2. Pastel and super pastel vanilla/fire males
3. Genetic stripes

11/21/2023

Sable is a subtle gene that changes both pattern and color. Picture one shows an adult female sable with her sable son. Picture 2 shows an adult male leopard with his leopard sable son. And picture 3 is the leopard sable hatchling on his own. The sable gene made him darker and changed his dorsal and side patterns. How pretty is this dark boy?

"Dotneck" was too cute after shedding to not have a little 1x1 photo session 😍 What do you think she is? The parents were sold to me as vanilla scream x pastel vanilla, but I've already proven that dad has super pastel and mom must be pastel fire/disco/etc since she produced a black eyed white baby in this clutch. These were supposed to be easy but I'm scratching my head every day 🥴

09/05/2023

Genetic stripe x het genetic stripe pairing gave a beautiful healthy clutch 🐍

09/05/2023

The next clutch is out! Pairing was vanilla shout-out to firefly, or so I thought. But these patterns are so funky 🤔

08/28/2023

These subadults and proven breeders are hoping to move out by the end of the year--shoot me a message to hear more about them!

08/23/2023

Next batch of 2023 cuties is here! Clutch 3 is a banana enchi x normal clutch with a nice spread :)

08/21/2023

In 2021 I produced a clutch with several eye deformities due to too high of incubation temperature. While all the other babies moved to their forever homes, Oogie had some of the worst deformities and had the most trouble eating. He has no eyes and a cleft palate, and to this day will only eat live mouse fuzzies. However, he's getting better at hunting and is slowly growing, and I feel he is ready to move out. He will do best in a pet placement and he will likely stay small.

If you are interested, shoot me a message! No rehoming fee, but experience with special needs animals/finicky eaters is strongly preferred.

2021 M Pastel Vanilla/Fire 183g

08/15/2023

Second ball python clutch is out!

Pairing was candino enchi x candino enchi but it looks like at least one parent might be a super enchi 🤔

08/02/2023

I also had my first successful corn snake clutch hatch last week, though only one egg was good out of 22. Luckily this one hatched and is healthy! There were many possible hets in the mix but I'm guessing she's a blizzard. Looking forward to repeating the pairing next year 😁

08/02/2023

Pictures of eggs are not nearly as fun as pictures of babies, but the first ball python clutch of 2023 finished hatching today! Pairing was both black pastel and leopard sires to a sable dam. It looks to me like the leopard sired this clutch, what do you think?

I think I see
2.0 leopard or leopard sable
1.0 sable
0.1 normal

This boy has such bright dorsal colors 🥰 he's not available for another couple sheds until I can pinpoint whether he is a candy enchi or candino enchi, but he's beautiful either way. #ballpython #ballpythonbreeder #reptiles #snakebreeder #snakes #utahreptiles #utahsnakes #cutesnakes #snakebreeder #snek #reptilebreeder #ballpythonsofinstagram #snakesofinstagram #ballpythons
