Thank you so much!
We're hoping, too. Scout is up to 484 and Zipper is 462. Hopefully, we'll find out this year.

Thank you, Sue!
They're growing and changing so fast it's hard to keep everyone updated while still not burning everyone out with pics!

They are growing! You are doing great with them. I'm glad at least you guys know what you are doing with them — about a year ago, a bunch of "BP people" started buying into them. They have already started flip-flopping around as predicted. Hopefully you guys will end up with a pair.

Thank you so much, Dakota. That's high praise coming from you.
I know EXACTLY what you're referring to with the "BP market." That was a real mess and hopefully won't happen again. Luckily, I never got into BPs so we were safe from that particular market crash. As you can see from the banner behind Susan's hand we were boa people-even long before there WERE morphs of pretty much anything. We saw the whole thing break all the way back to the albino burmese python. I never thought I'd be as fascinated with a species as I was with boas, but we're skink people now and there's no going back!

As you can see in the background of a lot of the shots, we've finally fired up the old reptile room which we affectionately call "Site A." (Jurassic Park reference) It's climate controlled separate from the house (which allows us to keep it a little warmer) and has hot and cold running water that drains to the septic tank. The only reason it took us so long to move them out there was because we couldn't bear to have them outside the main part of the house. We took the plunge and it seems to be working well. Next step is ordering a Mist King system when we get paid on Thursday.

ha ha!
3 more already?!
That's great!
I agree with you on the coloration. That's what drew us to them as well.
Please post some pics of your new guys when you get a chance.
