Leopard Geckos Hatch.

Im still very new to Leopard Gecko. Even this breeding is an experiment. Which was successful after 3 tries. 1 try, didnt know that moss will dry up so quickly, that 2 eggs dry-up. 2 try, got 1 slug. 3 try is a charm. Which I incubate at 27-28C, to get female ratio.

Ps. Havent got the rhytem to make a proper post. Been, so silent so long.

So, I just let pictures roll..

Leopard Gecko Update.

And Then, there is Eggs.

Leopard Gecko Breeding 2011

Sorry for the lack of update, been a pretty buzy month for me. ahaks.. Another rodent room has been made. Woohoo.. But im still catching up on my rodent breeding. As they are no supplies here, who can supply me at least 40-50 breeding pairs. (Anyone, who knows or can supply or offer.. hit me an email or call me. Name me your price!!) To date, manage to increase my rat breeding colony from 3, to 7 now. With 1.3 in each tub. Once I hit 10 colonies, i will need 10 adult males, as to minimise inline breeding.

Now, Something "NEW" for 2011.

Leopard Gecko or scientific name, Eublepharis macularius.

Below are, Sunglow and Jungle Tremper.

Offspring between these two would be 50%/50%, Sunglows & Jungle Trempers.

I didnt think i would have in my mind to keep them. But due to my abundant supplies (from self breeding) of mealworms, even my 25 plus Tarantulas & feeding my Sugargliders, I still got excess. And I got no intention of selling them. (Mealworms)

Nothing better than self breeding of their food/feeders. As I know, what my feeders eat.

2011 Breeding Resume.

Hello, Im following a tip from Justin of J.Kobylka Reptiles. (well, there is no harm in trying, or experiment, right) That give the breeding snakes a 1 week rest every month.

It does give a very valid point (who you are kidding, an advice from justin kobylka lol)

1st. it rest both the pairing.

2nd. it keep the stress back to minimum.

3th. time for me to take a rest too. haha.. im following a 3-days on/off pairing.

4th. it keeps my rat/mic production in check. Pounding my rodents every 3-days, make my stocks in chaos. Take this word from me, I breed & also buy. (i need to be fully prepare for the coming snake babies, hopefully)

5th. importantly, time for me to check the condition of my animals.

So after the 1 week rest, I went back to breeding, after a few hours, this happen..

Butter X Crocky (Normal), which will give Normals & Butter.

Pastel x Genetic Stripe, which will give Pastel & Normal 100% het Genetic Stripe.

I pair the Genetic Stripe with a Butter last month too. So, roulette breeding on this one, but hope both Pastels & Butters will turn out on this one. lol..

My most anticipate pairing. I strictly place a Butter & this "Pastel" to breed with my streak. (hopefully, he's a Pastel Yellowbelly)

Pastel (hopefully its a Pastel Yellowbelly) X Silver Streak.

If the Butter was the father, hoping for the Butter Black Pewter.

If the Pastel (hopefully Pastel Yellowbelly), wish to nail the SilverStreak Belly. (Can I call it that?? lol)

But even if the pastel is just a Pastel, a SilverStreak the most wont be too bad + a super pastel & a black pewter in the mix.

Maybe its the non-stop raining for 2-days now.. or maybe, the 1 week rest gave them full energy. Anyhow, its pairing & pairing.. until *jeng jeng* ovulation..

Captive-breed Ball Pythons in Brunei? Well, its too soon to say.. But wish me all the best..

1 Year Brongersmai Shedding

After a year, how does a brong looks like. Below is a link about a year ago.

http://edpets.blogspot.com/2010/02/brongersmai-shedding.html

Her completed shed. With this, Humidity is perfect..

Here she is now.. The same bowl. (But im not using that bowl for her anymore)

She's just a Normal, wont see her to brighten up soon. But i love her tame & docile character.

She live in my snake-rack at the moment. Until, she out-grow this current one.

Keeping brongs IMHO is a bit different than Ball Pythons. Brongs on my personal observation, they require a bit of a higher humidity than Balls. So, adding to the simplicity of keeping boids, I mist my bloods tubs twice a week.

over 15-ft and a Happy 2011 New Year..

Im just a small collector (and will keep it that way). Even if i have my own place & got lots and lots of space.(even if i have workers to do all the chores) I would really consider ever keeping a snake which can grow over 15-foot.

None, of the snake in my collection (to date) will ever to grow over 12-ft. I only predict my female brong will grow up to 10-ft.

Imagine..

.. a 24-ft long reticulated python.

Imagine, feeding it.

Imagine, handling it.

Imagine, the food.

Imagine, the waste.

(All the above, is situation, where you are the "only" keeper for such beauty)

Anyway, that is just me. I dont see, myself keeping them. Even tho, I love all snakes. I know, some of you out there, keep monster snake. So salute & congratulation for keeping them. Wish that snake, will enjoy a happy & healthy life as it is the owners responsibility to keep and take care of their pets, right.

Happy New Year 2011 to all the followers & readers of my blog. More animals, more pets & more snakes stories next year.

;o) Peace!!

Snake Biting!

Snakes biting, part of working with a lot of snakes or any animal for that matter is getting bit. Here at SnakeBytesTV and BHB we get bit a lot, but the truth is most of our snakes never bite. We want to show you the two major reasons that snakes bite and what we do about it when it happens. Remember snake bites happen, but as long as they are NOT venomous snakes, there is seldom anything to be freaked out about:)

I keep Pet Snakes which are non-poisonous.

Beginners Pet Snakes, includes Ball Pythons, Corn Snakes, Milk Snakes & King Snakes. They are beginners due to they relative small size less than 6 feet when adults. It wont over power you, and you can relatively handle them alone.

Then come, the Intermediate Pet Snakes, such as Hognose, Boas, Bloods. Boas & Bloods can grow up to 12 feet & they required at least 2 person to handle, cause at adult size, they sure weight alot and there are very powerful constrictors. Hognose on the other hand, are know to give an allergic reaction when it bites to some people.

And lastly, the Expert Pet Snakes, like Burmese Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, African Rock Pythons, Anacondas. These snakes grow more than 20 feet, at such giant length, these snakes have incredible power & weight, they can easily over power 2-3 full grown adult. Respect to those keepers.

Charity for a cause.

My New Wish.. (Well, One of them..)

No, your eyes not playing a trick on you. Nor, this picture is photoshopped.

Left, het VPi Axanthic. Right, VPi Axanthic.

Axanthic is 1st produce by VPI in 1997. Axanthic is a simple recessive mutation.

The way the silver/blue highlights the contrasting black and The way the silver/blue highlights the contrasting black and white is truly AWESOME!......These snakes lack most yellow coloration/pigment.....because of this.........they do not have the normal brown appearance of a normal ball python.

Are you going?

Humm.. Flirting Snakes.

Just sparking the interest.. Humm, wonder, what will it produce.. ;o)

ps. of course i know, what they will produce.. eish!!

Finally you ate!!

Hello, readers. Long time, no update. I was practically very buzy, and the last 2 weeks, my baby boy Rafie was sick, which then made me sick. Anyway, I'm recovering now, and I can update a few things.

As the title say, "Finally, you ate!!" I wasn't worried or anything, cause Ball pythons tends to fast ever now and then. And, again, her weight lost isn't that too worrying.

Added to the collection: 17-Aug-2010 at 1027-grams.

Finally ate : 02-November-2010 at 1006-grams.

Over 2-months of fasting, hope she will continue this trend.
