Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My 08/09 breeding season
I've messed around with trying some different things the last couple seasons, and it hasn't worked out very well for me. As a result, I'm going back to what I know...and hoping I don't mix recipes, lol.
I won't be breeding a lot of pythons this year, but it will (hopefully) be my first year producing bloods. I did modify my approach slightly for these guys - mainly because I didn't want to subject them to the temperatures I have used in the past with other pythons. I started cooling them a little later than I planned but, after the ice storm and the associated temp drop, I decided to put them together last night. Of the 3 pairs introduced, 2 were copulating when I got home from work this morning...and the other male was courting pretty heavily. Here's to a (hopefully) good start with bloods.

Ron - I don't like messing with day/night temp cycling unless I feel it is absolutely necessary. Generally, I just cut the heat, and let the temps go where they will (by the time I start cycling pythons, I have the house heat on...temps generally range 68-72 depending on location of the cage/tub. I do this for 4 -6 weeks prior to introductions.
I didn't want to let the bloods sit that low, so I lowered the room temp to 78 and killed the cage heat (I positioned the males so they ended up ranging from around 72-75, females stayed closer to 78). With the loss of power associated with the storm, temps in that room drifted down to, and were maintained at, a low of 63-65. Whether that works or not....well, I'll add egg pics in a couple months, if it does.

Thanks for the info Harald. I dont have a whole lot of experience with pythons so I thought I would ask!

fresh pics
Just a couple new shots of the reds. The yellows are still going strong, and the other pair has been copulating occasionally, but never when I felt like grabbing the camera...and they seem to object to my presence, so I've been leaving them alone.
