Enough whining (aka - Yay, me)

After due whining and grumbling about the quality of my diamond pythons, I bought some more. They are 06s, so they have a ways to go to catch up, but at least one pair of them look very nice (keepers for me :D). I'm not admitting how many I bought, lol; but in the spring, I might make some of my Fauna friends very happy.

Here is a pic of the sire (obviously not my photo, since I don't have him).

Mom is comparable to, maybe just a little nicer than, my current male. Babies can sometimes be tough to call, but my eye says a pair of these babies will be very nice. (I have been fooled a few times, though, lol. I'm sitting on one of my crosses from last year that is just starting to feed regularly. I didn't think he was anything special at first, but after 4 months - even with as little as he ate - it was obvious to me that he will be gorgeous.
I have also picked out one that I thought would blossom into something extraordinary...and, well, she didn't.

This is mom - again, not my photo.

I've seen that picture before, so that's who your getting them from. I have a female that came indirectly from him..Randy
 
Absolutely stunning snakes Harald. I've admired Diamonds for years but haven't acquired any in the past, wanting to thouroughly research the species, which I've been doing periodically in preparation for the opportunity to work with them.
If things work out, I'd be pleased to be one of your fauna friends to be made happy in the future.
 
In time, I hope to have enough to go around (I don't have that many friends, lol - but I'd like to think of you as one of them, Clay). Potential offspring will be a while - I have forgotten how old my current pair is - records work great, but I don't feel like looking - but they are a year or two away. The new kids, well, they are but hatchlings, and it will be a few years before even the male is ready. In all likelihood, I will be selling a couple of the '06s next year, once I get a good feel for the developing pattern (don't want to many sibs, anyway - need diversity).
