Happy Birthday and congratulations.

I am hoping to breed mine next year, still growing them on.

Chloe, You have Pugets?!

[chloe]

Yes i do. I bought the first two from the Rainforest in Rhyl at the begining of last year, they were both female. I managed to get a young male through Daniel at the hamm show in march this year.

I believe they came on the market in Europe in 2005 so there should be people breeding them in Europe this year. So there should be alot more on the market. I can make enquiries for you.

So, were the two females from Rhyl just a chance/accidental importation?

[chloe]

The Rainforest tried to get me some more and thought they could but they never arrived. The shipper was Tom Halvorsen Ltd Tom Halvorsen Ltd - Ornamental Fish, Reptiles, Birds & mammals I contacted him direct, but he didn't have anymore and didn't know whether he could get anymore.

So it was just chance? That's how I got my group of ordinoides in 1999, shear fluke! Never to be repeated.

I might be able to help with that being i work for a wholesaler/exporter
if you guys are interested i can look into it, always good to have new bloodlines available

[adamanteus]

So if we could put together a big enough European/UK order.......?

[Ameivaboy]

yes, ill have to get details from my boss, i dont know what kind of minimum or whatever he'll want but i can see, though the problem being as i only have 2 gravid females i couldnt nearly supply what would probably be needed so it might have to be "bobs" snakes, if that were the case I would however hand pick the animals as to try to deliver the highest quality shipment possible (though i fully understand that might not be of interest and frankly wouldnt blame any of you)
though a possible alternative if we get more of bobs snakes (which i have no control over) i could possibly pick up as many gravid females as I could properly house and wait till they have their litters, just a thought

Marian,

Great job in capturing the mother's true colors! My camera always fades them out. The pictures also do a great job of showing what large babies she had. They look large and strong . Any shedding from the babies yet? Congrats again,
