Queensland Water Python. Poor Man’s Boelen’s Python 🤣 Seriously though, such a beautiful and easy to keep to species, it’s a shame they aren’t more popular. I’m thinking the black and yellow along with heavy iridescence might help make these more popular in the Pittsburgh area, but we’ll see in the next couple years when I have babies.

Here is one of my favorite species. She’s still young and flighty so I haven’t taken photos of her much. Japanese King Rat, Elaphe carinata yonaguniensis. These become big, impressive adults that have a similar look and intelligence of a King Cobra, but without the venom.

I don’t think I ever posted this girl. 7-8 year old T- Albino House snake. I picked her up from someone earlier this year who had her as a pet since she was a baby. I’ll be running her to a nice Uganda Green male this season once I get moved. Add some fresh blood into the T- Butter project.

Here’s a beautiful Moonglow boa I picked up from a buddy of mine recently. Didn’t have a Moonglow in my future breeding plans but I had some trade credit with him and this girl is just beautiful.

New pickup from Daytona. T- Butter House snake. She is so ridiculously bright yellow in person but my phone seems to have dulled that down. I’ll attempt more photos at some point, but sharing anyways because I’m stoked I finally picked one up. I got her from Bushveld Reptiles who also had the more orange variety of T- Butters and some really nice Greens I would’ve also purchased if I wasn’t trying to behave myself. His whole table had amazing variety and this girl was a bright yellow spotlight in the center.

My holdback Ivory Granite poss het Albino from my first and only Burmese python pairing this year. I’ve kept this species as a pet for a decade and just wanted to cross them off my list, as well as have a baby to raise up. Small clutch but I got this beauty out of it!

I posted some nice boas up on MorphMarket last night. Here’s a sampling.

Today is a very bittersweet mile marker in my reptile breeding career. After 82 days of incubation my small Spalerosophis atriceps clutch is hatching. I imported my pair from Poland a few years ago, raised them from babies, and they bred for the first time this season. Well my female laid 3 eggs then died eggbound with 4 in her. And of the 3 eggs, one didn’t have an embryo. So I’m over the moon to be hatching these 2 babies right now, but man I’m set back years on the project and that female that died was one of my top 3 favorite snakes easily. So it stings. Hopefully one of these are female so I can raise her up for the future. I’d be buying up more from other breeders in a heartbeat, but we are looking to move this year so all cash purchases are on hold for now. Hopefully there will still be some around after the move. This hobby has some super high highs, and depressingly low lows. Thought it was worth sharing since people only tend to see the good as most people don’t share their losses/failures as much.

Here’s a holdback from a recent litter. Pairing was Hypo Marron RLT het Kahl x IMG Hypo Motley Jungle het Kahl & VPI. This is an IMG Hypo Marron Jungle RLT. She’s so much brighter than a similar gene combo sibling that she may be Super Hypo.

Here’s a wacky one from my recent litter. IMG Hypo Motley Jungle RLT poss Marron, 66% het Kahl 50% VPI. The color on the tail compared to siblings makes me think Marron but there isn’t enough white around the tail to be sure. But the full body stripe could be affecting it. There aren’t any of these out there for me to compare to so hard to say. I dont necessarily need the genes for my projects but she’s so cool looking I’m tempted to keep her.
