Collection
Males:
Name: M04PRG01
Description: Raul Gomez produced this as a
25% chance het pied male in 2004. His father was a 50% chance
het pied from the Snake Keeper and his mom an interesting wild bred
from Ralph Davis. Some of his siblings have since proven
(producing at least one very high white pied) so he is now up to 50%
chance het pied. However, judging from his belly stripes I
would be very surprised if he isn't het pied.
Name:
M04GPET
Description: I picked this assumed captive
hatched 2004 male at Animal Attraction in Greeley Colorado.
He is very bright with lots of fading and a clear belly. Some
day I would like to breed him to a fire. I mis-sexed this
snake as a female when I found him and tried for 5 years to get him
to breeding female weight before realizing from his behavior that he
is male. For 2010 I have finally him breeding a long shot
possible het albino girl.
Name: M06SRDR
Description: I picked this possible double
het for stripe and albino up from Ralph Davis. Both of his
parents where double hets so he has a 2/3 chance of being het for
each, a 4/9 chance of being het for both, and only a 1/9 chance of
being completely normal. I'm very happy with his light color,
fading, and regular shaped light circles down the back. I'm
looking forward to hopefully getting a clutch out of him and my
possible het stripe girl and also some possible het albino girls for
2009.
Name:
M07BADG01
Description: Daniel Garcia hatched this boy
from F97BPET on a breeding loan. He and three of his sisters
out of a clutch of 8 proved that pet store girl genetic. He
was actually sexed female when I got him and I didn't figure out I
had a male until combat while trying to breed in Feb 2010. He
produced 2 super chocolate babies bred back to the founding female
in 2010 so I'm calling these Garcia line chocolates.
Name: M07PPDR
Description: Ralph Davis produced this very
nice possible double het albino and pied guy. Both of his
parents where
double hets so he has a 2/3 chance of being het fro each, a 4/9
chance of being het for both, and only a 1/9 chance of not being het
for either. His markers are moderately good so I feel hopeful
that he at least hit the piebald gene and look forward to trying to
breed him to several possible het piebald females. Another
beautiful RDR snake that I'm very happy with.
Name: M08MMVT01
Description: Marshall Van Thorre produced
this 2008 male breeding lesser and mojave to my original Garcia
female. He has wide alien spacing which is within normal for
Mojave but he also has some of the white checking on the lower side
that is more extreme in his sister. I feel pretty
confident that she is a Mojave Garcia combo. But is this male
also the combo? For breeding purposes I really need him to be.
He has one other brother like him but if they are Mojave only then
there is only one maybe two Garcia males so far.
Females:
Name: F96NVPI
Description: 1996 normal with lots of yellow
and a healthy appetite. I got her from Petra Spiess who got her
from Tracy Barker of VPI. She produced a daughter with clown
like characteristics bred to a 50% chance het stripe in 2002 so for
2010 I have her on a breeding loan to a male clown. She is also the
mother of my female spider from 2007.
Name:
F97BPET
Description: I picked this girl up as an
adult at Reptilian Haven in Denver Colorado in July 2001. I
particularly like her wide pattern elements. It sort of reminds me
a little of the SnakeKeeper's
Mojave. In 2007 she finally produced and half her offspring
looked like her. In 2008 she produced 14 eggs bred to a mojave
but none of the babies where white. I'm now thinking she is
something like chocolate but since I'm not sure if the same or not
am calling her morph Garcia.
Name:
F00AREM4
Description: This is one of 4 sisters (they
had twin brothers that I didn't keep) that I hatched in my first
ball python clutch in 2000. Her mother was my old reliable
female and her father was a het for albino that Kevin at NERD
donated to an auction I won. Her maternal grandmother was rescued
by Mike Rapley after being abandon sick behind a pet store in Fort
Collins, Colorado on a cold day. I sold one of the sisters
after she proved het albino and two others as a normals after enough
babies that I felt it was likely they weren't hets. In 2009
this remaining girl proved het albino by producing a beautiful
albino daughter with a possible het albino male.
Name:
F01GAFR
Description: I purchased this imported girl
at 688 grams from Allan McHenry
in early August 2003. I'm guessing she hatched in 2001 but I
suppose she could be older or even a 2002 baby depending on how well
she ate in the wild. She has dark eyes and her first sheds after I
got her was patternless. In two months she was around
1,200 grams but then she slowed down and has been a sporadic eater
ever since. She has also picked up more lemon yellow dorsally
and is darkening and her sheds now have pattern. She has yet
to reproduce.
Name:
F01PREMS
Description: This is one of 2 sisters (other
is F01PREMB) still in my collection that I
hatched in 2001 from a Peter Kahl 50% chance het pied (M98PPKR) that
my sister acquired by way of Ralph Davis. The breeding card
notes on the father are that his mother was "normal (N7)" and his
father "het Piebald (1EW 2EW)". No pieds out of four babies
with a well markered possible het pied in 2008. She decided
not to produce in 2009 but for 2010 I'm trying with the RDR possible
double het albino pied.
Name:
F01PREMB
Description: This is one of 2 sisters (other
is F01PREMS) still in my collection that I
hatched in 2001 from a Peter Kahl 50% chance het pied (M98PPKR) that
my sister acquired by way of Ralph Davis. The breeding card
notes on the father are that his mother was "normal (N7)" and his
father "het Piebald (1EW 2EW)". Like her sister she was out on
a breeding loan for some time but now that I have her back am
looking forward to testing her for het pied in 2010 with a pairing
to the RDR possible double het albino pied.
Name:
F01PREMR
Description: This girl was the loan good egg
from the first clutch of F98NVPIL (ch from VPI) and M99PPKRS, a 50%
chance het pied produced by Peter Kahl that my sister purchased from
Ralph Davis. The father's card lists the paternal grandmother
as "Nor 28" and the het piebald paternal grandfather as "1/7, 2/8,
1/10", whatever that means. This girl has never been able to
shed without assistance. Randy Plank who looked after her for
a while didn't think she has a tongue. She also only seems to
like mice or ASF's (although I did try a few rats after starting on
ASF's and had some luck finally).
Name:
F02SREMN
Description: I hatched this girl in 2002 from
a 50% het stripe male (M00SVPI) I bought from Tracy Barker.
She's nice looking so of course a bad feeder and prefers mice and
hasn't been quite big enough to produce yet. I just got her
back from several years out on breeding loan in 2008 and now she is
feeding batter. I actually think she might be gravid with my
RDR het albino 66% chance het stripe male.
Name:
F03PREM3
Description: First of three 25% chance het
pied sisters I produced and kept in 2003. Their mother was a
F98NVPIL, a very large 1998 captive hatched purchased from VPI and
eventually sold
to Mike Wilbanks. Dad was M99PPKRB, a small but colorful 1999
50% chance het pied produced by Peter Kahl that my sister purchased
from Ralph Davis. Not sure how to read his feeding cards but I
show mother as "normal (Spot)" and father as "het Piebald (1/9, 1/8,
1/7)".
Name:
F03PREM4
Description: Second of three 25% chance het
pied sisters I produced and kept in 2003. Their mother was a
F98NVPIL, a very large 1998 captive hatched purchased from VPI and
eventually sold to Mike Wilbanks. Dad was M99PPKRB, a small
but colorful 1999 50% chance het pied produced by Peter Kahl that my
sister purchased from Ralph Davis. Not sure how to read his
feeding cards but I show mother as "normal (Spot)" and father as
"het Piebald (1/9, 1/8, 1/7)".
Name:
F03PREM5
Description: Third of three 25% chance het
pied sisters I produced and kept in 2003. Their mother was a
F98NVPIL, a very large 1998 captive hatched purchased from VPI and
eventually sold to Mike Wilbanks. Dad was M99PPKRB, a small
but colorful 1999 50% chance het pied produced by Peter Kahl that my
sister purchased from Ralph Davis. Not sure how to read his
feeding cards but I show mother as "normal (Spot)" and father as
"het Piebald (1/9, 1/8, 1/7)".
Name:
F03AREM1
Description: I hatched this 50% chance het
albino and 25% chance het Jolliff axanthic in 2003. Her
father, who proved het albino in another clutch, was M00AJPN
produced in 2000 by Paul Newstead breeding het albino to
double het Jolliff snow. Her mother was F00AREM3, a 50% chance
het albino I produced from a NERD het albino and F97AMR. I
eventually sold her mother as a normal after enough breedings to het
albino that I thought she was likely not a het.
Name:
F04GREM01
Description: I hatched this girl as a 50% chance het ghost female.
She was much lighter than her sister's who I ended up selling as normals
(about half the clutch was brighter but all the other bright ones
where males).
Her het ghost father was M02GAVC purchased from Aaron Van Camp.
In 2009 I proved her het ghost by producing a ghost son with a
pastel het ghost father.
Name:
F04RPET
Description: I picked this captive hatched
2004 female at Scales and Tails in Littleton Colorado. I liked
her side fading, tendency to have Cyclops aliens, and clear bell.
I'm hoping she is something like the phantom/mystic so am testing
out that long shot breeding her to my mojave male.
Name:
F07DMVT01
Description: Marshall Van Thorre hatched this
2007 female spider with F96NVPI (see above) on a breeding
loan. There where 13 eggs in that clutch. Hopefully
she'll grow up to be as big and bright yellow as mom. Lately
she has gotten quite a ghostly look so not sure what is up with that
(her mom is very bright). Not sure what I'll eventually breed
her to but she has some more growing to do first.
Name:
F07SMVT01
Description: Marshall Van Thorre hatched this
2007 female 100% stripe and I'm thrilled to have her. Now I
just need to come up with a het stripe male for her and my adult 25%
chance het stripe female. Both are nice bright colored girls.
This little one is a little on the defensive side still.
Name:
F08MMVT01
Description: Marshall Van Thorre hatched this
2008 female by breeding a lesser and a mojave to my original Garcia
female. I believe she is a Mojave Garcia combo based on the
checkered white on her lower sides and rich chocolate coloring. There was another sister
like this and two brothers with much less checking and two other
brothers that seemed to be normal mojave's and another brother that
is just Garcia and two normal brothers.
Name:
F08PREM05
Description: This daughter of M04PRG01 and
F01PREMS came out with a het pied belly that was too good for me not
to keep. She also has this ghostly look that her father has.
I need to remember to ask Raul if he has ever breed two of those
together.
