Well, barring any further catastrophes (black holes, abduction by aliens, ice ages) I think this weekend I finally get to take my snakes out of brumation. It's way past warm enough, and they're all hungry, being naturally warmed up by the arizona climate, but finally I get to spend some time and get them going.

I'm very excited about finally having the chance to warm them up and get them going.

Some of the male snakes I have that I might breed to my cal king girls:

High White Cal King
Aberrant Banded Desert Phase
Splendida (only I think he's a she?)
Striped Corn (maybe?)
Rootbeer corn (maybe?)

The girls I have to work with...

Normal Desert Phase Banded (double clutched last year, first clutch was 15 eggs, she escaped to lay the second clutch)
Newport Phase Cal King (proven two years in a row, 8 eggs first year, 12 eggs second year)
Hypomelanistic (ish?) banded Cal King, she had one clutch last year.
Aberrant Albino Cal King (first year breeding)
"Banana" aka banana colored aberrant banded (two of these girls)

I plan on crossing my high white definately with my desert phase cal king female, they are my two "whitest" cal kings.

My newport phase female is definately going with the aberrant male cal king.

I might see if the hypomel(ish) girl would be interested in the striped corn... I was thinking that they would make some interesting F2's down the line

The aberrant albino female I might try with the rootbeer who is het amel. I could maybe get some interesting jungle corns from the F1 clutch. (I know, I know, pure mutts)

I had thought to cross the aberrant "bananas" with the splendida, but I might end up crossing both of them, and the splendida to whichever male will have them.

It's going to be so MUCH fun!
