Couple new litters, small but sweet

[Jeff B]

I guess this year the litters are either giant or small for me, nothing in between.....yet, maybe the next litter will be average sized?
Tonight my Nebraska albino het Iowa albino and het anerythristic that was bred by my male Iowa snow het Nebraska albino had babies most were stillborns but 1 perfect Nebraska albino and 1 perfect Iowa albino were born. What an amazing contrast in albino strains, it's hard to believe they are even the same species, and they are definately not compatible. The Nebraska albino is on the left and the Iowa albino is on the right.

these babies were from the black back flame male bred to the low end flame female, unfortunately most of this litter was stillborn, but luckily 3 survived, two of them look like they will be nice quality medium to high end flames, and the other will be a low end orange flame.

Great looking snakes. Glad these little ones made it.

I'm so jealous... I've still got about a two month wait for mine single litter... I'm pretty sure the wait is going to kill me

[infernalis]

I'm sure you will live. ;)

[Jeff B]

Yeah the wait seems long in the beginning but it goes by fast and then the next thing you know you're spending all your time feeding babies, lol nothing to be jealous of

[charles parenteau]

nice litters!You have a lot of babies to feed!!

[Jeff B]

Thanks Charles, these aren't the screamer flames that I was hoping for from my other blackback female flame, she thru all jelly beans, but I still have two other females that could produce really nice flames plus a few other surprises fingers crossed.
And I guess the upside of having small litters is less babies to feed, but sure hate seeing those fully formed babies not make it all the way. There was a nice variety of still borns from the plains litter, nebraska snow, nebraska albinos, Iowa snow, anerys.

Congrats Jeff ! Remember "Even Steven" from last year ? (From Seinfeld, everything has a way of evening out).

[Jeff B]

No doubt Scott, such is life huh?
The good thing is she proved to be het for everything except axanthic of course, because there were stillborn Nebraska snow, Iowa snow, both albino types and anerys.

[ConcinusMan]

Looks like your iowa albino is a female?

[Jeff B]

Nope, actually the Nebraska is a female and the Iowa albino is a male, and he's hung like a horse, typical Iowa boy.

[ConcinusMan]

Is he sold? I know this girl you see, and she has a thing for handsome albino males from iowa. To her, size matters. :p

[Jeff B]

He's not sold, haven't even put him up for sale yet, but amazingly he ate a whole rosie yesterday, he's really big for a 4 day old baby.

[ConcinusMan]

Mine?

[Jeff B]

Maybe?

[ConcinusMan]

Regarding anery concinnus:

My oppinion is definately leaning towards anery making the most discriptive sense, when I look at that snake I think "anery". By the way with Shannon's awesome camera skills that snake is definately bad *** good looking. Would love to have one of them....

Hmmm....:cool:

I think Don will be able to fill my want but it's always good to have a backup plan. :D

[Jeff B]

Are wanting to do a trade or something? is that why you quoted me? hehe
that might work

[ConcinusMan]

Possibly. Money will be tight this year. Easier to trade than to pay. Will have to wait and see what Don comes up with. That male of yours sure is looking good though.
