Rosy Lavender Bloodred

(No luck in 2010 but Fred and Lily will try again in 2011!)
In partnership with John Finsterwald of Colorado Corns, I will be breeding Rosy Blood Fred to Lavender Bloodred Lily to produce the first generation of Bloodreds het Rosy Lavender. Most if not all of these offspring will be held back and bred together to produce Rosy Lavbloods in the F2 generation. The SMR line of Rosy Bloods originated with a wild-caught pair and are believed to carry the Kastanie gene.

Avalanche Stripe:

Pepper is Rich Hume stock, of the finest quality. I have been patiently raising him for three years, waiting for the 2010 breeding season. When Pepper and Ruby showed no interest in each other this season, I probed them both to verify their sexes. Unfortunately, Ruby probed male. Luckily, I was able to obtain Buzztail from Katie Haluska on breeding loan. Buzztail is one of the most beautiful, deep dark red Bloodreds I have ever seen. With any luck she will prove to be het Anery, too! Annabelle, a hypoblood of Rich Hume stock is here on loan from John Finterwald, Colorado Corns. She will be paired up with Pepper in 2011. **UPDATE** Check the Available Page for pictures of the new hatchlings!!

Lava Bloodred Stripe:

Ruby is a gorgeous Bloodred Stripe of Rich Hume stock. He will be paired with a female Lava Bloodred of Low Belly Reptiles stock. Yggdrasil is a Lava Bloodred from Captains Colubrids (Joe Novak) stock. After the F2 Lavablood Stripes are hatched and growing, I will concentrate on breeding Lava Bloodreds.

Lavender Pewter Stripe:

Bred by John Finsterwald, Colorado Corns, Jacinto, Iris and Violet are the 2010 foundation of the Lavender Pewter Stripe project. All are Lavenders, all het Bloodred, Charcoal and Stripe. In addition to the Stripes, I hope to produce some high-quality banded snakes including Lavender, Lavblood, Charcoal Lavender and Pewter Lavender! The first breeding will be in 2013.

Hypo Lavender Stripe:

Razzle and Orchidee are of Serpenco origins.  I am enjoying watching them as they grow up.  They will be ready to breed in 2012.  One or both may also be used in a future Striped Lavblood project.

Opal Stripe:

Everyone knows Mango!!  Mango and Mingo are my Opal Stripe pair.  They are extremely gentle and friendly, and ravenous feeders!  I hope to produce Opal Stripes in 2012.  2011 may be the time for a Mango x Calli breeding, to produce a clutch of 50% Opal Stripes and 50% Lavender Stripes.  This project boasts bloodlines from VMS, Serpenco and Joe Pierce.

Opal Bloodred:

I am very excited about this project.  I acquired the foundation male, The Dingo, from John Finsterwald (Colorado Corns) (Rich Hume stock).  The Dingo is an amazing beauty with light peach spots on a pale thistle purple background.  His mate, Azaria, is from Stephen Wagner bloodlines.  Breeding in 2011, this pair will produce Amels het Opal Bloodred, Fires het Lavender, Opals het Bloodred and Opal Bloodreds!  Eventually, depending on other projects, I would like to work toward Opal Bloodred Stripes.

Lavender Bloodred:

This group contains snakes from a variety of sources including Serpenco, Colorado Corns, and Low Belly Reptiles.  With the foundation male, Draco, not being of breeding age till 2012, I may do a breeding of Jasper and Lily to prove Jasper out for Lavender.  At worst, there will be a clutch of Bloodreds het Hypo Lavender.  Future offspring from this group may be combined with Hypo Lavender Stripes, with a goal of Striped Lavblood!

Miami Motley (Fully Striped):

El Wray and Zora are pure Huddleston Miamis.  I am very excited to breed this couple and produce some Fully-Striped Miami Mots of my own!  Miss Zora should be of breeding size in 2012.

Boot Keys Pure Locality

Phoenix and Scarlett come from a wild-caught, straight from Boot Key pair of rosy ratsnakes. They are only one generation removed from their wild, pure locality parents. They were produced by Strange Cargo Exotics, and I feel very lucky to have acquired them. They are quite different from typical cornsnakes, and must be seen to appreciate their unique qualities. I expect to breed this pair in 2012.

**UPDATE** Apparently Scarlett was gravid upon arrival, and has laid a gorgeous clutch of five big, healthy eggs! Expected hatch date is September, 2010.
