    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Had to share our first clutch hatch of the season. Very fat and happy hatchlings! 83-90g From a black back butter X normal. There are 1.2 Normals, 0.2 normal black backs, 0.1 butter, and 0.1 black back butter. We are really looking forward to working with the black back girls! Sorry for the potentially misleading title, the 11' refers to the 2011 breeding season and not the length of the animals :)

Gotta love the black backs! (They are really under rated...) I have two black back butters in my collection, my male and his daughter (avatar pic) I held back from last year. I absolutely love black backs, they're one of my favs!
 
New pics taken today! We think there might be something else going on with the black backs but can't be sure. They almost look like green pastels, very dark and have the same circle pattern. Obviously much different than the normals (3 pictured). Still fighting with the new camera so sorry they are not the best pics. :)

Very nice but not the 11 footers I was led to believe by the title. :yesnod:
 
Haha I can see where there might be some confusion. The 11' refers to the 2011 breeding season.

'11 would refer to the 2011 breeding season.
11' would refer to 11 feet.

Sorry for the hijack but it's a BIG TIME pet peeve of mine. :yesnod:


Awesome BP's though. :thumbsup:
 
Beautiful clutch! I agree, those black-backs might have something else going on there...or maybe that's part of the black-back pattern.... The latter would make sense given that a banded pattern would be less likely to be black-back due to the nature of the pattern. But maybe I'm overthinking things, like I'm apt to do....

Anyway, they remind me of my het G-stripe girl....

I hope that means maybe mine'll be genetic too! (Not holding my breath, but it would be kinda neat.)

I may have to get a female black-back Butter from you one of these days. I eventually want a female Butter, and I'm a sucker for black-backs. :D
 
Yeah she does! Even if its not genetic you have to love the pattern. Shes very pretty. Hope she proves out for you! We should know more after our other two clutches hatch, hopefully more butters and black backs!

Exactly! Beryllium (het G-stripe) I consider one of my prettiest snakes, even though she's a "normal."

Thanks! Can't wait to see how your other two clutches turn out!
