Sorry about the lighting. Outdoors and partial cloudy made it sorta inconsistent. But you get the idea.

Hope you enjoy the pics!
Rick

Very nice pics Rick!

Some more great shots. :yourock:

Love those shot's :rockon:

Great looking boas

very nice rich

Thanks guys. That normal Het has some good genes too, even if she ain't showing it that well. She's got a nice pink flush down her sides.

Thanks again!

Nice group of Boas

wow... I dont know if I can wait till January... that male is just stunning.

Who wants to take bets.. that I will get nailed while unpacking them.

Thanks Rick

Very nice pics!! Those are some smokers for sure..

Alan

Kevin you are a lucky SOB!!!! That male is smokin hot! I love that reduced clean pattern.... He is gonna make some perty babies for sure!!!!! :wamma:
Not that we would wish you get nailed but if you do, we want battle wound pics!!!! :devil:

Thanks Rick

Nah, all my animals are puppy dog tame. :lol:




Yeah right. LOL Aurora's baby likely won't nip at you. That litter seemed to get their moms calmness, and have all been pretty good kids.

Now the Salmons just might take a little taste though. Depends on their mood I guess. Sometimes they're calm, sometimes they're all defensive.


But I'm sure once they see how bad you taste, that they'll give that crap up real soon afterward. :devil:

Nah, all my animals are puppy dog tame. :lol:
Yeah, we have seen pics of your "calm" babies before! Mouth agape and ready to rip your nose off! :rockon:

But I'm sure once they see how bad you taste, that they'll give that crap up real soon afterward. :devil:
Sorry Kev but :lmao:

Wow. Im really digging these salmons. I LOVE that reduced pattern.

You grabbing all these boys, Kev? Nice pick up.

Id take a bite or two from them if I had to...:yessir:

Wow. Im really digging these salmons. I LOVE that reduced pattern.



Yeah, me too. I want to try and isolate that trait if I can. I'm keeping one the their Salmon Brothers just for that purpose. Well, that and his reverse stripe. :cool:

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and actually be able to refine that trait. :cheers:

Good gosh you got some crazy stuff there.

Do you think the pattern could be genetic or do you feel its a line bred trait? Id guess line bred but thats a pure guess.

Got another question do you think its possible to get that reduced pattern and light color with a bright red tail? For instance breeding a salmon to a good quality suriname or something like that? Or would that not really be compatible?

Crossing the Ssp barrier is not something that I encourage. Panamanian BCI to a Colombian BCI is one thing. Both are BCI, same Ssp. BCI and BCC will never naturally occur together, so natural integration won't occur. So I don't think man should change that. But people are gonna do what people are gonna do.

To answer your question, in my case, it just popped up. We'll see with some trials weather it's genetic or not. But yes, I believe certain traits can be isolated through selective breeding as well. In fact, people have done it many times. Salmons are just one, Genetic stripes another, Pastels, and probably a couple more I ain't thinking of, all were selectively bred.

Ah I never even considered that aspect of it. The crossing of Ssp. Good point.

Thanks for the clarification :yessir:

nice nice nice..love the light color and love the sunglow....defitily nice group..oh and did i mention NICE lol

I think E-pig likes them, too. But Ive been wrong before.

Now, Southern Wolf did you buy that male?

That male is nice enough to cause that unconscious, involuntary (and repetitive) review in the back of the snake-sick mind that goes something like: " Hmmm I wonder how&where I could squeeze this guy into my breeding plans here". heh heh. Congratulations on your purchase.:rockon:

How bout I just set up the video....so you can get it in real time :)



Nah, all my animals are puppy dog tame. :lol:

uuuhhh yeah.... right. Seems to me I remember a few shots where they wanted to eat the camera.

But I'm sure once they see how bad you taste, that they'll give that crap up real soon afterward. :devil:

I can only hope.



Yeah, we have seen pics of your "calm" babies before! Mouth agape and ready to rip your nose off! :rockon:


Sorry Kev but :lmao:

I cant blame you there.

Wow. Im really digging these salmons. I LOVE that reduced pattern.

You grabbing all these boys, Kev? Nice pick up.

Id take a bite or two from them if I had to...:yessir:

Not all the males... I think he still has a brother to mine available. Id say jump on it...they are smoking hot.... have you seen the photos he's posted... I cant wait to see it in person. :rockon:

Crossing the Ssp barrier is not something that I encourage.

Agreed.... I cant understand why so many folks want to make hybirds... I mean just look at the corn x milksnakes etc.... WTF.

Oh yeah.... I bought that male when I saw the first pic.... There was never a doubt... my main problem was picking a female... and I couldnt make up my mind.... so I bought both females.

yeah... Ive already got plans for him.... Im gonna find me a smokin hot Sunglow female one day. What a pair that would make. Until then... he will get the 100% het albino normal.... I want to prove him out.

I dont think I can talk Rick into selling Lucy... and I prob couldnt afford her if he did.

That's way too much Boa for you to start out with. You gotta work your way up to that stuff. Don't want you to get overwhelmed now. :lol:

Thanks for lookin out for me. Dont want to get overwhelmed.... especially with purdy animals.

:yourock:

Are they here yet ?

I feel like a kid at Christmas.... I aint felt this way in a long time.

So when are they being shipped to you? They are all really beautiful. And a video would be great for us to view of them nipping at ya.:yessir:

Congrats Kevin....they look awesome!

Barring any technical difficulties... they should be shipped on Jan 6th

It is not gonna get here soon enough... I may have to call in sick the next day.

The normal Het is from the same latter as yours, and she acts about the same as yours does. LOL

Glad to hear you are still happy with her. She holding that pink? You'll have to post some update pictures so I can check her out.

Man Rick those are some serious boids dude.. Good luck pumping out more awesome creations this season..

:yessir:

So many plans, but no logical way to accomplish them all at once. Guess I'll just have to stick around for a while.
