For the silvers I simply had to stay completely still for 30+ minutes. I put them together, and once they calmed down he was finally willing to give it a try. I had to stop myself from interfering at all (even when he had her by a leg or her tail) which was really hard (she's my baby). Thankfully she was totally non-aggressive (though also not helpful, wouldn't even lift her tail). It took him a long time to figure it out too. But he got the job done. Hopefully I'll get more pairing from them over the next few days <3 Given that he's small, spazzy (WC), and has a messed up spine (MBD) his lock is amazing to me :)

Sadly I don't think my male yellow Tanimbar is capable of breeding; his MBD seems to have messed with his front legs and he can't move quickly.

I've also managed to pair Wasp & Fluke 3x and Mizu & Izuru 6x. None of my other males care to do anything (or they're scared of agro females -.-') so we'll have to see what else I manage to produce this year. If I manage a fantastic year I might get 1 litter of IJs, 2 litters of Northerns, 2 litters of Caramel(ish) Northerns, and 1 litter of Tanimbars.

Baby Bomber wants out. I'll take him to make some food for everyone. Here's to a fantastic 2012 baby season!

How long does it take before you can tell if they're expecting ? How long is the gestation period ?

Just some boring Northerns. Actually they are pretty nice looking. And Jeff, the male is from you, and he is awesome with super nice bright orange. I am very excited to see how his babies with my pretty female look this summer. Thanks again Jeff!

Thanks, But That is not my work that resulted in that nice looking male. That is all Jeff, and I have never owned nicer breeding stock than the breeding stock that I got from Jeff. His Northerns are better than any I have come across as of yet. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with his bloodlines.

I don't have any. It's just that their is what maybe a pair for sale now, a little while ago their was a pair for sale on kingsnake, and Ray breeds them. Thought it would be cool to see them go back to where they originated from.

That's pretty cool. You can see traits from both parents. Looks like it has a much lighter orange though.
