Hey I'm new + Rankins :p
 

Hi people! My name is Phil.

I'm new to this forum. I have been keeping reptiles since I was 10, and I'm 26 now. I still have a couple beardies, but these days my interest has shifted to Rankins. I got some babies last year, cooled them not too long ago and they have just started breeding. So I thought I would share some pictures of them and of some of the copulations I have caught. Some of these pictures are from my Instagram, so don't let the funny colors fool you! haha. I will do my best to be active here and share more pics as things move along here.

Thanks for looking! I think I might know some of you, I used to frequent kingsnake.com :D

one more set of pictures
 

The pic of the two babies up top are the same two boys in the picture together here. Also, they two pictures of copulations are also those two boys haha.

Progress
 

Glad to see the first girl digging her nest! I love this whole process. I can't wait to see eggs and babies in the incubator :D

Phil

Eggs!
 

Cool! 22 eggs total laid, one was a dud right off the bat, and then I lost a few more during the first week :/ but there are still 16 that are going strong and look great. Cross your fingers for healthy babies!
Also, a picture of a few girls nearing breeding size :]

Anyone else on here messing with Rankins? It's a learning process, they are very similar too beardies, but different in interesting ways.

very nice I would love to start! Are those eggs you have now or from last year?

The eggs are this year, a little over a week ago. Hopefully she will lay again. I also have 1 more female with eggs about 2 weeks out from laying.
These things are super cool!

Phil

they look great Phil and if you ever sell the offspring I would love to have one from you they all look healthy and happy!

Thanks very much! I will certainly be selling some of the babies for sure!
Thanks again!

Glad to share that the eggs started hatching today! :D
I am so excited, it has been so much fun raising the parents and finally seeing babies coming out of the eggs. I can't wait to see them eating and running around.

Hey,
Let me know when these little guys are up for sale. I am definately interested.
