This lock may not look like much (& May be too late in the season), but it’s the key to figuring out our #BonganiProject! A #Dinker we picked up from Africa who had a clutch for us in 2017. 🐍❤️🐍🤞🤞🤞🤞 #BallPythonBreeding knocked the water over, though 😂
One fun side effect of #ballpythonBreeding is that you always have plenty of vermiculite on-hand to help new plant cuttings osmoregulate and form new root tissue. Convenient substrate overlap! #gardening#pets#ballpythons
Our lavender albino fellow is pos. het pied...this lock could be very exciting! This #GoldenPied project female liked him a lot, but it's still too soon to say if she'll lay this season or hold out until 2020. Lots of projects this year! #BallPythonBreeding#snakes#pets#mutants
Left: Piebald male (hatched 8/17/2019) Right: poss #GoldenPiedProject Piebald (hatched 8/16/2019) - from similar size clutches, but one mother is 1600g (6 eggs) & the other is >3000g (7 eggs); at this age, it can be a big 'head start' in the wild! #BallPythonBreeding#snakes
Delighted to say this gal found her forever home! She’s a stunning 2017 firefly with a charming personality ❤️🐍 we’re so glad she found a nice human to snuggle 😄 #ballpythons#ballpythonbreeding#pets#snakes
A peak at the 1st lock of the season: leopard 50% ph pied x piebald poss het Golden. Our leopard gal has the most stunning pattern! We hope she passes that along to her offspring (someday.....). Quality is always worth the wait! #ballpythons#ballpythonbreeding#pets#snakes
These late rains are inspiring some of our couples! Pastel cinnamon lesser gal x banana enchi fellow - not a flattering shot (or lighting), but still a fun set of possible offspring! #snakes#pets#ballpythonbreeding#ballpythons#genetics#morphs
Pampoen, our pumpkin pied poss het #GoldenPiedProject gal, is growing well. We're optimistic she'll be ready to breed next season. Hopeful her gorgeous coloration helps us continue to solve the puzzle of the Golden Pied trait heritability. #BallPythonBreeding#snakes#pets
