Bruce has alot of fun with these. They are really calm out of the cage, not like your 'typical' racer. They have bred for us the past couple of years, and last year we had a blue thrown! Holding him back for sure, and there's one female that gets a tint of blue so we're assuming that she's the mom and he'll be going back to her next year. (They are in a group, which is why not 100% on the parentage) Here's a picture of the group, as well as one of the gorgeous blue.

Those are awesome Sara! 'Specially that blue one! :D

Very cool. Good luck

Thanks Melanie!!

And Claude!

Was funny, the blue didn't even come out right away, and then at first Bruce figured it was in shed. That was at a couple of months, I think? He can clarify. Anyway, I am sure that from now on we'll be holding them back for at least 3 or 4 months before selling the offspring!

Really cool project and the holdback is smoking!

unusual but cool

Thanks Jeff! I even really like that blue!:cheers:

unusual but cool

Thanks Liz! They are kinda unusual, should have found a close up pic, they have this little point sticking out the front of the nose, it's cute! Not like a hognose point, more like a sharp stick out thing...

very nice

Those are pretty cool :cheers:

That blue guy has a particularly nice 'sharp stick out thing'.

Wow Sara those guys are awesome!!!! Is Bruce expecting to produce any this year? I would love to get a few of these guys!!!!

Nice looking racers Sara! That blue one is awesome :D

Nice looking Racers Sara. i'm really diggin that blue one lol.

Love those colors! Reminds me of the green mambas! Yeah, let us know when you produce some!

The blue one was from our first breeeding's in 2008. We produced three clutches in 2009from two females, one double clutched on her own as there are 3.2 in a large display cage. We still have a few 09's left. The adults breed throughout the year but eggs have always been laid in May or June.

I am not aware of a "blue" locality specific morph of barron's. This one just hatched out from my normal green colored group, but his blue color did not start to come in till after a few shed's.

I thought the blue ones were a locality??

I imported a bunch of these 4-5 years ago from a friend in Uruguay. From the pair I kept, there was lots of variation. Some went from nice green to almost black back to green. Some went blue and some went bluer.

If you like seeing variation, work with Baroni. I do recommend using hooks to let them know you are going to handle them. No sense in tempting the bite-first attitude. Once in hand they're not interested in biting.

LOL... Tokay won't mind tempting the bite-first attitude. You telling him to use hooks is kinda like telling a drunk that bottle of stuff will get you drunk fast....

Good point on that one!!!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Becca has been bitten but never allowed them to chew on her, she's been fine. Think the first time scared her so she had a little woozy type feeling, but that was because of the adrenaline...

I like baroni, ended up moving the ones I had out to add more hogs.
