Spring has Sprung!








As you may know, Michael is trying his hand at breeding snakes. Alot of our "yard snakes" sell between $30 and $150 each. Some we have sell for more. Honestly, when we went to the UAB show, there were snakes there over $1000 a piece! Ridiculous, but hey if they want to buy them, then by all means Michael will supply them. He has always loved snakes ??? so this is right up his ally. The bottom pic is a creamsicle corn snake with her eggs. The next pic is some type of albino rat or corn snake (I can't remember) and her eggs. Next up is a mexican king snake peering through the dirt with her eggs. And the picture at the very top is some of our being incubated. Nothing special ... just a shoebox and the room over 80
degrees. Not all of our females are gravid, but considering this is his first time breeding snakes, I think they have all done well. The eggs you see that look yucky in the one container have dirt on them. They are perfectly fine but she really rolled them around in the dirt before I got to them. I have candled all of these batches and they have veins and look great so far. Just 60 days and we will babies everywhere! If any of you want to come by and bring the kids to check them out just let me know.
