The Serpent Shanty

 We have been working hard here and everything is great. All the Ball Pythons have been cooling sincethe beginning of the November. Some of the females have taken small meals andmost of the males are not interested in food at all. The males have one thingon their mind… We finally figured out what we are going to pair together. Mostof our Co-Dom females and Recessive Females are not ready for this season. Allof our Co-Dom males will be paired. We may still pick up a few larger morphfemales but that is up in the air. One of the normal females we are going topair with a couple of Morph males just as a project, unless we pick up an Enchi.

 We have added a fewnew Green Tree Pythons, a female Merauke and a female Manakware. The Meraukehas been paired up with our male Merauke and we have witnessed quit a few goodtale wraps.

 The female Manakwareis a 2008 so she has a few more years to go before she is ready but she issmoken. The Manakware just took her first meal for us on 11/16 and that wasexciting. We had her for almost 3 weeks and she was not interested in food atall. At night (being that they are nocturnal like snakes are) she has beensitting on her perch looking at the ground. From my experience with GTP that isa good indication they are looking for food. She has only been feed live hoppermice so that is what I offered her and within the hour she was consuming herprey. Hopefully I could get her on F/T prey.  

 We have added a fewnew animals and will be adding pictures of them soon. We have made it a pointnow to update the site at least twice a month now. Hopefully we can stick to it…
