1st ovulation of the year, joint project with Heather , 1.0 Clown Het-Enhancer X 0.1 Lesser DH Clown Enhancer. Hoping we can score a few Enhancer Clowns, BIG 2,200gr female, how many eggs will we get?

02/01/2024

Some Enhancer history! This was aptly named Big Mama, a Volta line female that tipped the scale at over 7,500gr and just shy of 6 feet. Her suitor 1,700gr F1 Enhancer male all snuggled up with her. Many early Hets came from this pairing and went on to produce massive Enhancers. :-)

17/12/2023

2022 Enhancer Het-Clown just hit 1,200gr, might be able to breed them later in 2024 if they keep eating this well. Not many realize the Enhancer lineage of DG get huge, the Enhancer Matriach is a 5,000gr monster. :-)

0.1 YB NR Mandarin Sugar Het-Hypo
We are just scratching the surface with the NR Mandarin gene, the intensity of the rusty orange color is off the chart, particularly with Supers. She is a holdback but we do have her brother available for those interested. :-)

Old Tom.

You’ve probably heard of him. He’s undoubtedly Australia’s most famous killer whale, and he is often placed amongst the ranks of other legendary killer whales like Keiko, J2 Granny, and L98 Luna.

Old Tom is famous for his astounding cooperation with human whalers in the early 1900s. His population, known as the “Killers of Eden,” first formed a mutualistic relationship with the Indigenous Thaua people of southeastern Australia a millennium before European colonization. “The Law of the Tongue” originated with the Thaua people, who gave the killer whales the tongues of the large baleen whales they cooperatively hunted together. Later, the whales formed a similar relationship with European settlers who conducted whaling operations in Twofold Bay. The killer whales herded baleen whales into Twofold Bay, where the whalers worked with the killer whales to dispatch the baleen whales. The killer whales feasted on the tongue before the whalers took the whale for processing.

Eventually, the Killers of Eden began disappearing, possibly due decline in baleen whale availability, a breach of The Law of the Tongue, or maybe the movement of the Thaua people out of the area. Old Tom died in 1930. His skeleton was collected and put on display at the Eden Killer Whale Museum–this provided a team of researchers, led by PhD candidate Isabella Reeves, an opportunity to study his ancestry. The results are now out in a new paper in the Journal of Heredity.

Using samples of his teeth, his DNA was extracted, analyzed, and compared to killer whales around the world. Surprisingly, he shares ancestry with killer whales all over, including those found in the North Pacific, North Atlantic, and South Pacific. His genome is most similar to the killer whales found in New Zealand.

However, some parts of Old Tom’s DNA are not found in modern killer whale populations. The killer whales in Australia today are not closely related to him. Sadly, this means that the Killers of Eden likely went extinct when Old Tom died in 1930, taking with him a unique culture and heritage that had existed since time immemorial.

Ball Python (python regius) Maternal incubation in a rack system.

I was away traveling Asia for 3 weeks at the end of July. I had a bunch of females that where due to lay in that time frame, the only person that backs me up when I am away is my trusted brother whom also happened to be travelling at the same time. Came back to 5 females wrapped around their clutch with no lay date to work with.

I filled the bins for these expecting females with humid coco coir, saturated the front of the bins with water, the front of the bin was soggy wet while the back of the bin remained relatively dry. This created sufficient humidity with observed condensation on the side walls. One of the clutches I knew was due to be laid the day I left, so I therefore knew the hatch date within a 2-3 day window under artificial incubation.

I left this one female maternally incubating her clutch for the experience. Happy to report the successful hatching of this clutch in a rack system, those that say Maternal Incubation cannot be done in a rack system, here is proof. I don’t recommend doing this if eggs can be removed and artificially incubated instead. The humidity parameter for incubating eggs is most likely very hard to control in a rack system.

The female laid her clutch some 15cm away from the heat tape, I could see her changing position around the clutch, I speculate that she would warm up part of her body over the heat tape and periodically change the warmer side of her coil around the eggs. I did not notice any body twitching seen in other python species. They started piping some 63 to 67 days post laying.
Hoping this can help others that might share similar dilemma in the future. 😊
