I feel proud owning her.

Also I was going with a red tailed boa but ended up with a carpet python, then another. I never thought I'd get a truly LONG snake. I forgot to mention I still have the hognose!

I haven't see the frog eyeds breed, I just see no eggs ever.

can you handle her at all?
carpets are cool as hell.
maybe try messing with the temps and humidity a bit, see if that stimulates breeding

I have not really, but she's stunning to look at. lol. I still may get a red tailed boa AND an emerald tree boa...pathetic eh?

Yeah even if they don't produce eggs, they are the neatest little lizards ever, and I can still enjoy them I think lol.

No I don't. I thought frog eyes needed no humid hide. I'm going to look into it though.

Man I want to move the piece of bamboo the GTP is one and pull that out of the cage and then try to handle, When she lifts her head I get lerie of strikes though. I need to insert dominance!

Mirin balls in first post, OP. Srs. Wanted to get into breeding before the military option came to fruition. Still planning on getting another once operational tempo settles down and I can be home enough to care for one again, as my wife would never. Eventually going to consider a burmese or retic when I'm out and can devote lots of time and effort to building a terrarium and caring for a huge snake like that. Until then, I want some sort of bumble bee or clown ball morph. Possibly a killer clown.

adding a box with moist (not wet) is where they like to lay eggs.
haha its probably not worth the bite to find out

Nice to see some herp talk pop up again.
Heres my contribution. I hatched out a clutch of ball python eggs again this year and I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
This one is definitely a keeper (y)

Retic and burmese I refuse to ever...those can kill my daughter, my boxers...maybe even me although I do lift and am getting stronger

And yup, there's an entire world of balls to explore...so many morphs out there man!

I have two dogs, a wife, and a son. Plenty of love coming in. Reptiles are just interesting.

Meant to ask you, do they mind loud music or loud background noises? I'm thinking of moving one snake into my game room.

Cool thread.

Deathstroke brah I think your veiled is a male. Females don't get as large, are more bland in color, and have a much smaller crest.



I started off in ball pythons but have moved more to boas from a preference perspective. Like them both but there are certain aspects of a boa that trumps.

I'll try to snap pics of my collection if there is interest.



Also, not a tradie or watch wrestling and own 3 dogs. I think a lot of reptile people (herpers) just love animals.
It's not about where you are today, but what you're doing right now, to build a better you for tomorrow. - Me



Judge not by the color of my reps but on the content of my posts.

ITT there is the interest, please do snap pics when able.

You might be right. Either way the name Karma stays lol by far my least friendly reptile. If my Karma dies, that is one species I will not replace/own again.

Bought my girlfriend one. Literally the coolest, worst pet. You imagine some sweet color changing chameleon all perched on your shoulder that you can toss crickets to and watch snag with their tongue out of the air, and what you get is an overly emotional, high maintenance, but beautiful asshat.

I'm planning on keeping the FF YB and the orange dream I got in the clutch (assuming that the pastels are just pastels). The rest of the clutch will be sold to new homes. Too early to make breeding plans at this point for the FF YB, but I'd probably breed the OD to my OD male in the future to try for super orange dreams. I only breed on a tiny scale though. Just 1 clutch per year so far.

super OD are awesome, hope thats in the cards for you.

small scale is fine. I used to want to breed snakes as a career but after seeing how that is I want to just breed what I want just for enjoyment. maybe just a few species.

I hope so too haha
Yeah its definitely not something feasible to get into on a large scale unless you have a ton of money and time to invest.

So far I've only sold locally, but I'd consider trying out shipyourreptiles perhaps or reptilesexpress. I still have a couple of shipping boxes lying around too.
