Snakey road trip .... part 5

[gregmonsta]

I've secured a breeding pair of 'Florida blue' easterns :D ... once again I shall be braving the M6 on a snake quest. They're from a German bloodline and produced 2 litters last year :rolleyes: .... Broom broom :D ... typically bad phone camera shots should be available to all next week :D

[drache]

cool, congrats
looking forward to the pics

[guidofatherof5]

Great news, Greg.
Looking forward to even bad photos.

They're nice and blue, well coloured. :rolleyes: They're German too :D

[jitami]

Have a safe trip Greg! Will be looking forward to the pics :)

[gregmonsta]

They're here :) ... I had a great time and got to play with a lot of snakes and see some interesting spiders. I held a 5foot+ milksnake!! ... several corns ... rosy boas ... and saw assorted tarantulas, huntsmen spiders, false widow and a fishing spider ... oh, bearded dragons, assorted parrots and dogs lol.
But I'll hang off with the photos of my new additions :D ... they travelled well and even ate two hours after arrival!! ... Two beautifully blue easterns ... The female shall now be known as Sky and the male will affectionately known as 'Spazz' (for the moment ... can't decide on a name yet) he is absolutely supercharged and typically 'Florida blue' in behaviour!!! The female is soft as butter and very handleable (surprised for sure!!!).
I'll give it a go with my phone camera in couple of days ;)

[adamanteus]

Sorry I was at work, Greg, and couldn't play host.

[gregmonsta]

No worries mate :) ... not everyone can have my spawny luck and have term time hols like me :rolleyes: ... Anyway, I demand I get the chance to be host sometime :D

[adamanteus]

You got it!

[gregmonsta]

Bring on the summer baby rush!!! ... All being favourable Panama is steadily gaining girth (I'm not a hundred percent shure as I've never owned a gravid snake but it's a promising start) and Skye looks promising and has the appetite .... four pinkies and several chunks of Salmon :D ... - note to self - must get her some fuzzies this week.

Congrats Greg... can't wait to see pictures!:)

[Snaky]

We want pics! We want pics! :D

[Sid]

He's a big boy too.

[drache]

wow Greg
those are a nice size already
very cool

[anji1971]

Very nice! Much bigger than I expected they'd be.......I'm used to seeing people getting baby snakes, I guess!:p

[guidofatherof5]

Thanks for sharing, Greg.
Any photos are better than none at all.

[Sid]

Very nice pair.:)

[count dewclaw]

Great pair. They are quite large, bigger than I expected.

[gregmonsta]

;) they were worth the trip :D fingers crossed for babies :D

[count dewclaw]

If things go well, it looks like you could have quite a few....

[Snaky]

They look like some nice additions, Greg :)

[gregmonsta]

I released them into 'general population' today. Sky and Clint seem quite happy together whereas poor Spazz smells a bit too girly and his having to put up with an overly excited J. :rolleyes:

[gregmonsta]

I snapped a few little pics yesterday to show them in their grouped vivs :)
