I got to check another dream species off my list thanks to my friend Dillon at CBC Exotics, Sanzinia madagascariensis volontany. The Western Sanzinia, aka Mandarin Sanzinia. Such a cool species, and in just a short time now of interacting with her I can tell there is something special about them. Very inquisitive and intelligent species of snake. #sanzinia #sanziniamadagascariensisvolontany #mandarinsanzinia #westernsanzinia #treeboa #madagascartreeboa #babyboa #babysnake #snakebreeder #snakekeeper #boabreeder #snake
These African Black House snakes just hatched the other day. Hopefully my last clutch of the year, the female likes to surprise me with extra clutches. They look cloudy right now since they’re about to shed, but they’ll be super iridescent after that. #Boaedon #boaedonfuliginosus #housesnake #blackhousesnake #africanhousesnake #babysnake #snakes #iridescent #snakebreeder
My last clutch of hoggies for the year hatched recently. It was the second clutch from my Albino Conda x Lavender Het Albino pairing. #hognose #hoggie #babyhognose #albinohognose #hognosebreeder #hognosesnake #westernhognose #heterodon #heterodonnasicus
This boa is nuts. Super Hypo Jungle Marron 50% Het Kahl, Sharp, and VPI. I wish cameras could capture how pink it is. When I first saw the litter of babies for a brief second at a distance I didn’t know what I was looking at it was so pink compared to the others. Dad is an IMG and the 4 other babies ended up IMG, but looks like this one missed the genetic lottery on IMG. #babyboa #boaimperator #boaconstrictor #boa #marronboa #superhypo #boabreeder #boakeeper #snakebreeder #boamorph
This Albino het Coral hognose has been super inquisitive and friendly from day 1. Took food from tongs right away along with most of his siblings. He is spoken for, but some of his Albino Conda het Coral siblings are on my MorphMarket. #hognose #hoggie #westernhognose #heterodon #heterodonnasicus #hognosebreeder #babyhognose #babysnake #colubrid #colubridae #colubridcrazy
I came home to a small but better than expected litter of IMG Marron boas! 5 good babies, one stillborn, and 3 slugs. The Hypo Marron mom was actually sold to me as a male and after 2 years of not breeding my other Hypo Marron, I put a 2nd male in with them to hopefully entice the supposed male Hypo Marron into breeding, and thats when I caught them locked up. Soon after I saw the ovulation and got worried because I fed this mom like a male and she was only 3.5 years old which I’d never breed a female that young. So with her due date coming up I honestly expected all slugs and my main concern was just her pulling through. But thankfully she is doing great and ate right after I cleaned her up, she doesn’t even look like she lost much weight at all which is crazy. Pairing was IMG Hypo Jungle Motley Het Kahl & VPI x Hypo Marron het Sharp so I got some really cool IMG Marron combos along with the crazy looking Super Hypo Jungle Marron which is pink in person. There were 32 possible genetic outcomes from this pairing, half of which had Marron in them, yet all 5 babies have the Marron gene, so that’s great odds! #marronboa #boaimperator #boaconstrictor #babysnakes #boabreeder #boamorph #boasofinstagram #boa
These African Black House snakes are such a pleasure to keep and breed. I decided to only breed one female this year, my Olivaceous Project female from HouseSnakeMorphs. Her 2nd clutch hatched recently and I have 1.2 left from the first clutch. I’ll post them up on my MorphMarket sooner than later, just been slacking on posting ads and enjoying just raising this season’s babies. #boaedonfuliginosus #boaedon #africanhousesnake #blackhousesnake #housesnake #snakebreeder #babysnake #iridescent #iridescentsnake #rainbow
I wish photos could capture the amazing colors on this girl. Extreme Red Toffee Conda het Axanthic. There are orange and red tints along with the tans and grays that just make a really cool looking hognose. I have my eye out for a Toxic Conda boyfriend to breed her to this upcoming spring. #hognose #hognosesnake #heterodon #heterodonnasicus #hognosebreeder #snakebreeder #hognosesnakesofinstagram #hognosemorphs #toffeeconda
I didn’t hit any Amelanistic Scaleless this clutch, but luckily kept one last year that’s growing like crazy. I did hit three Scaleless het Amelanistic and half the clutch is Amelanistic. The sire of this clutch is the friendliest, most inquisitive rat snake I’ve ever had and his holdback son from last year is just like him. #Amelanistic #texasrat #pantherophis #pantherophisobsoletuslindheimeri #ratsnake #babysnake #snakebreeder
I’ve been on the hunt for a pure Ron St. Pierre El Salvadoran Blood boa male ever since I picked up a female a few years ago from a buddy of mine. Finally got lucky and I got this gorgeous male in today from Vin Russo. If you are a locality boa nerd these are super cool being that they are a pure locality and morph, and they happen to be an extremely small boa that is the perfect pet size. The buddy I got my female from has breeding age adults that are maybe 4.5ft. They’re also very iridescent despite not having a ton of black in them, and redder in person, the camera does no justice showing that. Stoked to finally have a male! #boaconstrictor #boaimperator #bloodboa #elsalvadorbloodboa #dwarfboa #boabreeder #boamorph #localityboa #snakebreeder
I’ll have some of these baby African Black House snakes available at the Pittsburgh Reptile Show tomorrow! These iridescent babies always seem to get snatched up quick and I’m not hatching out as many of them this year as I did last year. They make great pets, grow to a very manageable size, and don’f need a large cage, so if you’re looking for your first pet snake these are a very affordable first snake to get. #pittsburghreptileshow #boaedonfulginosis #AfricanBlackHousesnake #housesnake
My Argus monitor gets all of the infertile snake eggs, which I haven’t had much of this year yet.
