Breeding Projects for the 2010 Season

This year we have the following snakes paired up.

Perdolen x Minya

We'll be getting sunglows, albinos, DH sunglows (hypos het albinos), and albinos from this pair. There may be something special too, we'll just have to wait and see!

Update:

Celeborn x Altariel

These two produced some smoking hot hypos last year! We should get the same results this year! Look for super clean hypos and clean colorful normals!

Update

Altariel had her prelay shed back in April. We are expecting clean red hypos and clean colorful normals sometime in July!

Caragren x Galadriel

We decided to put Caragren in with Galadriel just to see what would happen. He's small, but he was producing sperm plugs and being 2 years old we thought him ready. He was seen courting and copulating with her, but we never witnessed an ovulation swell. She took a while to shed so if she does produce a litter it won't be until August.

Vasion x Thaliel

This will be our first year breeding Bredl's pythons, hopefully we'll get some babies. If not there's always next year...

Update

It looks like Thaliel is gravid! We believe that eggs will be laid sometime in the end of June or beginning of July. They should then hatch sometime late August or early September.

Elrohir x Vana

These two should produce some very nice high contrast carpets hopefully with a decent amount of striping appearing in the clutch.

Update

Vana laid a nice clutch of 21 eggs and zero slugs! Unfortunately they all died due to incubation issues. We've fixed the issues and we will be trying again next year. Third time is a charm so they say...

Jack x Sally

These are two of the calmest Amazons! People are always amazed that they don't strike or freak out. For the most part this trait has been passed onto their offspring.

Update

Sally is definitely gravid. If she repeats her cycle we should be getting 10 baby Amazons around September 9th.

Future Plans...

Every breeder has the next few seaons mapped out in their head, we are no exception. Here is a glimpse of the corner stones of our collection and what you can expect to see being produced at Ghostfish Herps in the next few years...

Dholcaran

We believe this gorgeous girl has great potential, that is why she's soon to be the corner stone of our boa group. She may turn out a little dark, but the underlying red holds the key! Imagine what babies she can produce when bred with Celeborn: clean light hypos with a ton of red! Or how about a coral albino or sunglow?

Sophie

We want to bred her back to her dad Perdolen back to determine if she's carrying any odd mutation linked to the speckling he exhibits. We'll also breed her with a sunglow to prove if she's het. albino.

Glorfindel II

We were hoping to breed this guy with a striped female jungle this year, but the "female" was actually another male. Which means we're now back to square one, looking for a stunning black and yellow striped female....

Rûn

We are reserving this fantastic looking boy for a nice 88% Irian Jaya jaguar. Another possibility is to outcross him with a granite or het. granite. He was produced by Will Leary so we don't want to waste Will's hard work on any Irian Jaya female!
