We hatched toffee-bellies and Flour (yellow) albinos from a d/het to d/het toffee-glow pairing earlier in the year. I guess I didn't look at the albinos too well .. was feeding them yesterday and my wife asked why one albino was a different colour ...huh, say what ?? ... compared a few and guess what, I missed that, we actually DID hit a double recessive toffee-glow, aka albino/ toffee-belly ... LOL, talking about being a bit slow for a "morph" guy 

Actually now they are a bit older, its easier to see as they colours are getting deeper. In a few months it will be even more obvious !

Our last litter of 2012, all shed out. 5 eggs = 2 x calicos, 2 x pinstripes and 1 x calico/ pinstripe with no normals. Not a bad result. Our ball python breeding season now extends to the whole year with breeding, eggs or hatchings in every month.

Hognose morph update

Putting some of our adult hognoses into brumation (winter rest period). They will stay there until mid to end of January. This is an adult breeder caramel (het hypo). Hopefully we will caramel and het caramel baby hogs early in 2013.


Super Special ball python

We hatched a sweet looking super-special female. She is an amazing orange - pink colour. So much for Baker line specials not having good colour !
