Looking for a stud :p (PICS)

[dashnu]

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask but anyone have a male for this sexy lady ;) He would have to be shipped to Maine.

She is one of the best looking Easterns I have found.

Also wondering what type of Eastern you reccomend I breed her with. I am not trying to sell them I just want a fun little project for the girls and I to do next year. Would like to have some cool colors.

[crzy_kevo]

is she gravid or just eaten?

[dashnu]

I got her on fuzzys yesterday and she ate 4 and a pinky.. HA!

[crzy_kevo]

she is a piggy lol
im still lookng for a mate for my george

[Garter_Gertie]

Wow, that's a BIG meal. I'd be afraid to give Winnie more than two fuzzies for fear she'd regergatate them. I like to err on the side of a little less, possibly more often, than one huge meal.

[dashnu]

Haha, She has had a pretty crazy diet since I got her. First on worms, then Toads, Small Mouth Bass, Now Fuzzys scented with bass. The way she keep taking them I though a may have not been giving her enough in the past.. so yea!

Plus I wanted to plump her up for her big photo shoot in hopes a male on here would fall deeply in love with her and come visit :D

[Lori P]

Brett, she really is lovely!!! I wish I had a male to send you. We'd make such beautiful babies... :rolleyes: LOL

Yea yea, I cant find any good color variations here.. I would like to breed her with a differnt color. And plus she told me all the easterns around here are cheaters!!!

[Zephyr]

Ooh! OOH!!
We could cross her with one of my Northeastern phase males! :D
They're actually still willing to go. XD

What do you think these two would produce? I see some red in yours he looks good. How much $$ ?

[crzy_kevo]

ya that guy has a ton of color on his sides

[Zephyr]

What do you think these two would produce? I see some red in yours he looks good. How much $$ ?Well, I'd only intend to use him for stud services; I'm far too attached to all my 07' babies to sell them by now. XD

[dashnu]

Hey i added you to messenger but your not showing up :p

[dashnu]

So how would stud services exactly work? Breeding will be brand new to me.

[Zephyr]

So how would stud services exactly work? Breeding will be brand new to me.Well, generally you send the male, the person receiving the male provides room, board, food etc for the snake, breeds it to their female, then sends the male back. Depending on the agreements the owner of the male may get a cut of the litter.
Also, if you intend to breed NEXT year, what you can do is buy one of my baby males, (They'll be here any day now and will have been fathered by one of my 3 easterns, all of which possess the Northeastern characteristic) pamper him nice and good through the winter, and by next April he'll be ready to mate. I brumated my males for two months, and they were still ready to mate in April, so I'd assume that with two other months of feeding the chances of the male NOT being ready to breed would be slim to none.

I was not aware a male would be ready to breed at a year old. Keep me posted on the babies :)

I would also be interesed in "teh stud service" I would be willing to give you half the litter. Just need to figure out shipping costs and if it would be worth it.

From my estimates males are ready to breed at 6-8 months of growth age. The reason you see estimates online saying 2 years is because the first 3 months is spent as a neonate, then brumation, then 6 months to grow, then brumation, then that spring the snakes are mature. Also, they get better quality food and more of it in captivity. :P

[dashnu]

Thanks, let me know when the babies are ready!!

[Zephyr]

Thanks, let me know when the babies are ready!!H'okey dokey. I suck at sexing newborns, so if you do buy from me it'll probably be a buy one get one or two free. XD

[crzy_kevo]

lol sounds like a good deal

[dashnu]

So I went on a big herphunt today with the girls. Pretty good luck. We found three easterns garters and another eastern milk.. Photos to come! ONE OF THESE HAS GOT TO BE A MALE. *crosses fingers*

[dashnu]

[GartersRock]

Uhhh... Piggys not gonna try and eat Grover right??

I sometimes feed my checkereds anoles. They LOVE them... Will easterns not show interest in them? I'd say watch it...

[dashnu]

He was put in there over a month ago with the assumption he may be eaten... :D Now I guess they are just buddies :p I think Piggy is to slow to catch him or something :eek:

[GartersRock]

Oh ok! lol!!! Too funny!

[infernalis]

Ever put an Anole with a corn snake???:D

[Stefan-A]

Ever put an Anole with a corn snake???:D
I've heard that you might have to, if you have a neonate Miami phase corn. ;)

[infernalis]

They actually teach them to feed on Anole scented pinkies.

[Lori P]

When I first got Eddie Lizzard (a Schneider's skink, and my very first reptile ever) someone also gave me a good sized anole. Not having a clue, I put him in with Eddie while I got his tank set up. When I went back to get the anole a short time later, he was no-where to be found... :eek: And that was my very first introduction to the world of reptiles: where anything that fits in your mouth (and some things that don't) are food!!!!

[Stefan-A]

They actually teach them to feed on Anole scented pinkies.
Over here, they just jam pinkies down their throat until they learn to eat them on their own.

[dashnu]

Ever put an Anole with a corn snake???:D

I have actually had him in with my milks for a while.. Again no takers :eek: I want him to be eaten, I'm tired of finding grasshoppers in the yard for him. LOL

[Lori P]

Awww!! If I was closer I'd take him... I feel bad now, he's survived against the odds!!! Come on Brett, make him a pet...

[dashnu]

Awww!! If I was closer I'd take him... I feel bad now, he's survived against the odds!!! Come on Brett, make him a pet...

Aww man, he was a pet at first :D Now he is food!! Your making me feel bad now :( He is one bad *** anole though pushing his throat out and bobbing up and down all the time.

[Lori P]

Sigh... don't make me drive to Maine to rescue that cool lizard... lol
