I am a professional breeder that maintains a very diverse collection of Python species.
My main interest is in the Australian and Indonesian Pythons but I also have a large Ball Python collection focused predominantly on recessive combinations.
Man I have been working this project a long time. This female Burgundy Line Ultra Tri Stripe is the goal and many clutches over 3 years have resulted in two so far. I wont complain the odds are always stacked on this type of combo. She is great looking and Happy to have her. Now if I could only hit a male!
I really wanted to get a side by side comparison shot with a baby Olive and Papuan Python but that is quite the challenge. Both species can be hard enough to take pics of seperately and together well was not happening. I dont love the results but its the best I could do solo.
Found a small litter from a small female last night. Wasnt expecting many but happy to see they are strong healthy babies. Here are pics of the adults as well. Both adults are founder WC stock.
Found this Angolan Python with her clutch today. This should mark the end of my python egg season unless someone surprises me with a late season ovulation. It has been a long time since I bred this species so its new again! Hopefully in a couple months it will culminate with some nice babies!
I am pretty sure I hatched two Super Leopard Blackhead Ultramel Ball Pythons. I was not sure what the verdict was on super leopards as I read you could not tell them apart from regular leopards. I bred a male Leopard Blackhea Ultra to a female Leopard Ultra and had what looks to me to be a super leopard blackhead and reg Lep Blackhead all ultras.
Someone forgot to tell this CB Aru he is not suposed to look like that. Cant wait to get babies from this crop of CB animals. Future looks promising on decent cb White.
I upgraded this Female Barneck Scrub Python to her adult cage the other day and she is enjoying better branch options in there. Not sure she has hit the ground since. Hopefully I will get the pleasure of pulling her off eggs in a couple years.
We are having an afternoon rain and the radiated tortoises are enjoying the conditions.
Had a clutch of Ghost Pieds shed out in the last few days. Very nice looking clutch if I do say so myself.
A few more of the Amazon tree Boa Litter. Lots of variety in the mix! Should be some fun things to watch grow up.
These F1 Northern "Cyclopse" Green Pythons Morelia utarensis have been doing great. They all shed and fed on first try. I normally dont try feeding so fast but I was feeding other things and figured id see what interest they had. So far so good!
The Amazon Tree Boa litter is shed out and I needed to take ID pics of them for my records. I love the variety in this litter. Here are some of the Dark babies. Interesting variation.
One of last Years Northwestern Green Python Morelia pulcher changing colors. The pattern along the back is really starting to go blue. Getting closer to the adult look!
Fun example of comparing fresh yellow hatchlings of two of the Green Python species. The Southern Morelia viridis (Top) with a Northern GTP Morelia utarensis (Bottom). They are so distinct and easy to tell apart. Wish I could do better photos but the perch situation makes it tough.
The baby Northern Emerald Tree Boas are having their first sheds. I cannot wait to see how they grow up! I especially like this one it has a nice bold pattern.
The Papuan Babies have shed out and look so mint! Fiesty little guys so my guess is they will be ready to eat in a couple weeks. Really neat babies to get to hatch. This was one I was never sure id do.
Last check before bed last night revealed an Amazon tree boa litter had just been born. Glad to be home my wife would not have enjoyed rounding these babies up!
Came home to a small clutch of Northern Green pythons (morelia utarensis) hatched out in the incubator. My wife filled in for me and it was like I was never even gone except for the hatching pics! She did snap a few that turned out alright. I have not hatched this species in quite a while so it is fun to experience it again. Im grateful to have ever got a chance to get eggs from their mother as she did not settle into captivity easily and did severe damage to her face early on. She eventually got with the program and is thriving now just with a slightly disfigured snout. Happy to have gotten this far.
My spotted turtle colony are enjoying the warming weather. Got these waterland tubs up on a deck structure making it more enjoyable to observe them along with cleaning. Hopefully ill get some more eggs this season.
I was fortunate to get to watch some baby emeralds be born this afternoon. Looks like 4 babies in all. I got the mother as a fresh born baby from a recently imported gravid female and she was born green. Her litter was half green half red so that was neat to see. Sorry the pics are not great the babies were quite sticky.
Now it is finally official and I can count myself as one of the breeders who has captive produced this amazing species. The first baby Papuan Python has emerged from its egg after taunting me for what seemed like weeks. It was far from a perfect situation with the reproductive complications and small clutch due to those reasons but I'll take it. Hopefully all goes well with the few other babies but for now this little one has put a huge smile on my face along with a bit of relief.
This one will go down in my memory banks! Walking past the incubator this afternoon and something strange caught my eye. A Papuan Python had pipped. I had checked them earlier in the morning so it was a pleasant surprise. Finally off the board!!! I could get used to this feeling.
The baby Olive Pythons are all eating and should be off to the races now. Fun species to hatch and get established.
Hard to have a bad day when you hatch Southern Green Pythons (Morelia viridis) from Aru. This is also the first F2 babies from this line and I cannot wait to watch them grow up and see how they mature.
My second male Northern Green Python (Morelia utarensis). He did not show any interest in the female this year so hopefully next year he will kick into gear.
One of my Northern Green Python males. I hope to have some babies from him later in the season but time will tell. Its been fun keeping this guy he is well mannered and easy on the eyes.
Third time getting eggs from this Ghost Pied pairing. They make very nice examples of this combo and it will be fun to see this years crop of babies from them.
The One Albino Olive thinking about coming out of her egg. Never thought I would see this in my collection. Pretty odd.
Found two Olive Python heads sticking out of their eggs this morning. It will be fun to see what happens the rest of the way. Maybe some albinos in the mix if you like that sort of thing.
While cleaning cages today I took some color change progression pics of some Northwestern Green Pythons I am raising up. One from 2023 and 2022. Fun to watch them change and see what your going to get for an adult appearance.
