brought the kids to a friend from high school\'s parents annual bbq yesterday.

his mama was a wild cat, the offspring of a feral kitty who apparently mated with a siamese as she looks pure siamese; she was born last yr. there were 3 in her litter this yr. another friend took 2 and I took this one. they\'re just too pretty to live in a dirty old garage! fortunately, a cousin of the family has taken it upon herself to trap and neuter all she can for $57apiece at TEAM. she\'s already got 9 of them and the reamining ones remain elusive. She\'s really hoping to catch the mama this yr.

anyway, the kids at the picnic named him Moose because he is about twice the size of his littermates. Kiana named him flower and matt likes "Bruce". So right now his name is Moose-Flower-Bruce.

Those snakes hatching from eggs?

I have never seen such a thing before.

Yes. A few species are live-bearers, but most reptiles hatch from eggs.

hows the reptile house life treating you these days marcial? post your web site again. I lost my bookmarks a few weeks ago and yours was one of them.

I think I was just surprised to actually see snakes hatching from eggs. It\'s one of those nature moments that you take for granted.

What is your fascination with snakes? (serious Q)

Paul, the snake business is doing well. This year, I hatched 25 babies fathered by my possible heterozygous for albino male.... currently there are only 2 albinos of this species known to exist and are valued @ over $50K. Since albinism in snakes is a simple mendellian recessive gene (you probably learned about it in school with the punet square), I will need to breed him to a female gene carrier to hatch any albinos myself... I am still a few years away from being able to do that (until the babies I just hatched are old enough to breed), but it is an exciting possibility nonetheless. The site is in the process of being updated, but here\'s the link:

Spaceman: Don\'t know why, but I have been into them since I was about 5 years old. Once I graduated from college, I decided to take it from strictly a hobby to something that I could make a nice side income from.

Melanie: Sorry for hijacking your thread!

Marcial - Impressive site. I had no idea to the extent that you were involved with. I especially like the snake name Tony Montana. All the snakes are in the basement of your home, wow!

Hey Marcial- I just got a rainbow boa (Brazilian) today.... so beautiful!

Nice! Those are really cool... their irridescence out in the sun is amazing (hence the name). Is it a baby?
