    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....

My first clutch of the 2011 season..Hooray ^_^

FINALLY, after the last few weeks of my 8 gravid girls being incredibly whiney and pathetic looking and sadfaced and flipped upside down, last night Aurora finally laid her eggs :D

This is Mom, Aurora, striped Black Pastel:

This is Dad, Octavio, a PH Red Axanthic. I *really* hope he proves out:

Here's the results so far!:

LUCKY!! I started late and all these threads are making me jealous :D I might take a vacation until I have a clutch, LOL.
 
Het red anxantic is a co Dom gene. You can't have a
PH.

Congratulations on the clutch! I so want my girls to start laying. It's killing me. They are both fat and been off food for a month. I think I caught there ov's but I'm not sure. All signs point to 2 weeks for 1 of them. I might be so far off like I was last year though.

I think what she means is that he's a dinker who she suspects is a het red, therefore he is a "possible het red". :)

Congrats! Keep us posted!
 
I'd really like to see black pastel het reds (probably not as much as YOU--lol)! I know the cinny version (gargoyle) looks cool, but I prefer black pastel over cinny with most projects. Good luck with them!!
 
Thanks guys, for some reason I wasn't getting notifications of responses to my thread. Weird!

Yes, I know Het Red is a codom gene..basically the story on the male is I got him from a friend of mine, who got a large group of baby ball pythons from someone who had a red axanthic breeding and somehow ended up mixing up the normal babies and het red axanthics into a large group. He sold them all as a group to my friend and didn't know enough 5 years ago to tell them apart from normals.

This guy has the heavy black back, the heavy moustache, and the melded alien heads on the sides.. So I am *hoping* he proves out ;)

I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the kind words!
 
Just for fun, I thought I would post some more photos of the male, Octavio..

Here's some of him as a baby....then more of him as an adult.

Whoops!

Oops double picture post. Deleting one of them!

And Oops, I got to looking at the last picture of him in my hair clip, and I realized that isn't Octavio, it's his brother Opi that is another PH Red Axanthic :D His markings are wayyy less obvious and vibrant, though, so he is probably just a nice black backed normal. Who knows. :)

Just thought I would update everyone..the genetic gambling powers at be were not with me this year, unfortunately. This clutch yielded extremely depressing results - - -

5 Male Normals :(

What a bummer.
