Tony, what can I say other than truly stunning pics! Your Emerald Tree Boa and Bredll's look magnificent. How 'reliable' is your ETB when being handled? A lovely collection of snakes you have there.

Raymond

Hi Tony
thats a fantastic collection you have there, and i spotted a familar face, young Jack i remember from helping adrian in reptile world in bangor.

Marty,

Thanks for your note...Jack's a diamond he deals with all husbandry issues while I'm away, I really couldn't have started up without his on going enthusiasm and commitment.

Best,

Tony

Raymond,

Sorry forgot to answer your "reliability" question...the ETB is a recent acquisition, I haven't sexed it as yet, however, it is a gentle and inquisitive animal, at present it's well settled, doesn't show any outward sign of stress and seems comfortable with it's lot. Having said that it's always kind of wise to have gloves on hand with most Arboreals!!! I've organised a more bespoke housing and temp/humidity/ventilation regimen for it as husbandry [particularly temperature] is a little different than for the Chrondos. We'll see how it goes in the next few months. I'm back to home to 'Ards at the end of April, beginning May, if you want to hook up for a brew drop me a PM closer to the time.

Look forward to catching up.

Best Tony

what type of boas you expectin?

Hudsy,

This is our first season and nothing fancy... we had a November lock w/ a male CA Dwarf and female El Salvador Dwarf...the female is a first timer so unproven...all the maths work out though she's currently in what we hope is a pre parturition shed so we'll know if there's youngsters in the next couple of weeks or so. BRB's locked February, and a CA Dwarf pair are together at present..no locks witnessed to date. Keep you posted of any developments.

Best,

Tony

when your ca dwarf has a litter how much for a baby
when you expecting the litter

lovely snakes - i'm a huge fan of ETB's, altho am yet to own one (must convince the other half!)
Great set up too

Lisa,

Thanks for your note.

Now, surely you're not going have to convince him that much are you??? I mean it's not as if you're asking for a 2 carat diamond now is it......which you could be right? I'm sure he'd throw a snake or three at you if he were given the diamond as an alternative...LOL...

Take care and best,

Tony

he should be so lucky tony!!! He's the one who has the convincing to do there!!! Wat is it with guys thinking girls always wanna get hitched?
He knows by now i'd rather spend the money on a new horse or new snake!
Ah he's just thrown a caramel albino retic in my direction, so can't complain too much.
He just has no interest in ETB's or GTP's....
Or corn snakes!!!!

Great looking photos. Good to see you have some Brazilians again.
Good luck with the pairings.
If you are back in Ireland in June I might try to meet up with you. I will be back from the 16th to the 1st of July to visit family.
Warren

Thanks Warren,

I know I'll be home through May, however, will be away for 6 weeks or so beginning of June so we're destined to fail!! If my overseas trip alters I'll be sure to let you know, it'd be great to catch up after all this time.

All best,

Tony

Nice set-up Tony & some absolute stunners there
Looks like Jacks going to be very busy when that hatchling rack starts to fill, lol

Hi Tommy,

Thanks and good to hear from you. Jack's busy enough now...he'll not know what's hit him!! Hey thanks again for your kind assistance recently with the rodents, I'll give you a bell whenever I get home and we'll organise a few drinks and a bite to eat.
