This for sale thread will include the available males from my recent (and first) litter. 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.

Feel free to check out my flickr page. It has albums of my breeding trails for this litter and a Kahl litter just born. You can see the pictures of parents ect there as well. Prices are in the descriptions if you choose to look at them there.

Payments excepted are Paypal freinds and family or Goods and Service but buyer pays the 3% fee. Venmo or Zelle. I ship for $50, essentially I'm splitting my total average shipping cost + material with the buyer.
Harlequin - Incomplete Dominant mutation. It enhances coloration and overall saturation of color. It can cause aberrant patterns. It gives some pastel appearances reducing back on the side medallion borders/washing them out. Head stamps can become washed out as they age. From this litter and comparing the father, I believe there is a relic or sanded look to the saddles. More noticeable in motleys. Zach Bevens produced a Jester boa, said to be the dominant form of the Harlequin gene. It's appearance much like a Sterling, patternless. The Harlequin and Sterlings come from the same original import shipment. That's what I've found and noticed so far with the Harlequin gene. As I learn more, I'll update this and also any buyers of my findings. I do plan to try and reproduce a Jester boa with these down the line (I'll be outcrossing).
Thanks and hit me with any questions!
