This for sale thread will include the available females from my recent (and first) litter. I sex by palpating boas. I've done this many times now without feeling any hemipenes. Males are a sure bet, females I'm 99% on the sex be correct but it's hard to be 100% when the ID is not feeling something.
These youngsters were born on May 1, 2025. They will be fed their 6th meal tonight (8/4) and ready to ship next week. Most the litter is going into their second sheds currently. Each one has excepted frozen thawed since the first feeding, none have refused a feeding. Being fed 10-12 apart, currently on small mice. They'll arrive with a feeding card.
Litter was zero slugs, 1 stillborn and 13 live healthy babies.
Those labeled as harlequin are my best educated guess from the information I've been able to track down. That said I cannot guarantee the Harlequin gene but I feel confident in some of them.
Labels:
Possible Harlequin vs Probable Harlequin - Basically, the whole litter is technically possible Harlequin. Probable Harlequins are the one's I strongly suspect. Harlequin = I am confident in it being a Harlequin, as I see lots of resemblance to the sire and certain markers.
I did not hit any Snows. So the pairing did not prove out. There is still a small chance these could be het for anery, not labeling them as such obviously but mentioning for buyer's information.
