The Snake Keeper Blog

Well I am finally adding some snakes to the available list. Check it out and see if there is anything you need from there. Just starting to get snakes together for breeding. We have been a little slow this season getting started. But we are getting on track now. Now that everything has hatched out we put all the babies in order according to morph. It makes it so much easier to find them now when people call asking for snakes. We had it according to clutch before they were all hatched out and so there were morphs everywhere.

Well the holidays are upon us now and things are slowing down as they always do this time of year. If you are new to the business November and December are really slow months. You just have to be patient and wait till January for the sales to pick up again. Traditionally January is one of the best months of the year. I always look forward to the first of the year.

Did you see the super pastel het ivory on the available page? WOW now that is a cool snake. The picture there really makes it look orange but it really is yellow. Wish I had a whole rack of females of them. I think we will see some real cool morphs from that line. The pastel gene has really treated us right for morphs this season. The pastel clown and pastel pied and last but not least the pastel caramel. I will have to get you some updated pictures of them all. I do not know if I mentioned this before or not but I have an adult pastel het piebald male we are going to sell if you are interested. Great breeder so if you like the pastel piebalds and you are thinking you want to get going on the project give us a call. Well have to get out and get some more work done.

Well many people have been asking to see this snake so here is a quick picture of it.

The Mojave Het Ivory

We really like the way it turned out. Should make some great combos in the future. Who knows what the snake will look like form this cross. This one is for sale if you are interested.

Belly of the Mojave Het Ivory.

It is really a cool looking snake.

Well we were busy today putting females with males. Yes it is that time again to switch gears from hatching to breeding. Not sure they are ready to get with the program just yet but we will see in the morning. Been working on changing out the old DBS1000 Helix units to new ones. Still have 13 of them to go to get them all switched out. You are wondering why you are switching them out. Well some of mine are some of the first ones they made and well technology has increased and the new units are better than the old ones. Plus many of mine did not have the grounding wire on them and I had to modify them to be grounded but the new units if you order them with the heavy duty plug come with a ground wire. So we have been replacing them as time permits. I figure if you have a valuable collection you should have the best in thermostats taking care of your collection. So what’s a $142.00 for a new controller that is the newest and best there is out there.

Take a look at the Pastel Caramel. This snake here is really tuning out to be a real knockout.

Some days we just sit there and stare at its beauty. I think the pastel caramel has tons of potential. I just can not even guess what the super pastel caramel will look like. There is still so much to do with all these morphs. Just the ones we have now will take us to retirement. How do you like that retirement. Well needless to say that is still a decade off or so but that give you an idea of how much work there is to do out there with all these morphs. If you like the pastel caramel and you would like to produce your own this season you may want to talk to us. I think we are going to sell a breeding pastel het caramel soon.

Well check out the available pages we just added some more snakes for sale. If there is something you are looking for and you do not see it listed just ask us for it and we may just have it. We still have a good amount of balls to take pictures of and get up on the site.
