hortulanus bites

Not a new member, but I've been on hiatus for quite some time. I hope every one has been well. Tonight is a great night for me to come back and share with you an awesome story. I came home to 6 live baby ATBs in the cohabitation enclosure. I've been trying for a couple years with this pair and Donnie and Michelle (god I miss you guys) tried several times with this female too before they sent her to me for a birthday some years ago. It all finally came to fruition. I'll have pics soon, as I haven't even gone into the cage yet (I'm so excited I had to tell the world first). I've successfully bred many geckos, but this is the first snake species for me to produce viable young. Most are very red in color with tiger stripes. Mom's a Halloween phase and dad's a patternless bi-color. Here's a couple pics of the cute couple until I get them all sorted out.

P.S. Harold, I missed you and Kerri too and everyone else I didn't think of naming here.

-Jon

8 live, 5 stillborn, and 3 slugs. All look very similar as you can see. I can't wait to see what they look like after a couple sheds.

Thanks guys! It's good to be back. The site seems a lot slower in posts than I remember. I hope that Michelle and Donnie come and see this post soon. I know they'll be excited that I got Tisiphone to have a litter. Mich raised that big girl and I know there's a lil place in her heart for her. I haven't been in contact with anyone in reptiles for several years now. Been busy with work and the kid. My son is 3 years old now, can you believe that?

The site went down for a while. I walked away from forums for quite a while, but I've slowly started to come back, although it's been in new hobbies (I have an orchid now, and I've been very tempted into getting a chinchilla. Don't fear though, I just picked up new snakes yesteryday).

I've also had computer problems, fiinancial problems..the works. A few of us are over on facebook now, but there's no huge large scale discussion of reptile chat going on that I know of forums style anyway.

Orchids, cool. I have 7 in my collection now. They are addicting like reptiles, lol.

Good to see another user around this place
