Future skins
« on: March 13, 2011, 03:45:15 am »
My pairs of tiger rattlesnakes have been breeding lately so I've been going into the herp room quite often to see what kind of developments I've had.  Started playing with the camera and snapping pics of some of the animals in my collection.  I think I got some good pics.

And some rattlesnake porn.  I'm really crossing my fingers for this breeding.  Only one zoological institution has produced these and a handful of private hobbyiest such as myself have done it.

Super Cool collection!  I am a Herp nut as well but I'm back on the wagon and only have 1 small Viper at the moment.  Wife wasn't overly thrilled with my idea of keeping some of the larger ones in our boy's Home School Room  ;D

Your specimens look exceedingly healthy which is always a joy to see in a Hobbyist's collection.  Is that a Retic with the "rainbow sheen" on his head?

Thanks Lee.  Yes that's a Retic.  But its a super dwarf retic.  I don't keep any giants.  Too much food ;)

Wake up and smell the coffee, Bevan.  If Nate posts something there will be either a snake or his kid in the pic. 

Which reminds me, Nate, has your li'l cutie pie switched from pinkies up to hoppers yet?   >:D

Hey I thought I was the only one to do that. (Raise my own skins) I'm breeding Balls right now and raising up a couple of hypo tangerine hondurans. I gave up on the big snakes also for the same reason too much food. Cool collection

Those Hondurans will be some Crazy bow backings.  The future skin thing is kind of tongue in cheek.  I will never end these guys lives but years and years down the road when it's their time they'll grace the back of a bow.

Thanks guys!  I have 8 rattlesnakes.  4 tigers, 2 sidewinders, 1 Arizona Black, and 1 albino western diamondback.  I want to add a pair of White Speckleds and then I'll be happy.

Here's a white speckled
