We were lucky enough to start off the year early with baby ball pythons hatching and it seems that there has been no time to wind down since. Summer time has never one of my favourite times of year as it is difficult to manage my time. On top of all this, the responsibilities of maintaining a large collection increases during breeding time.
It has been a strange year for most breeders we have spoken to this year. Most are running later than usual. Every week we eagerly monitor the incubator for new arrivals. In August, our late females are coiled perfectly on their hot spots, waiting to lay eggs. I just love it when I can hatch ball pythons every month of the season into the fall; it keeps the level of excitement going.
Some of Our 2010 Additions
This is the time of year when the adult females have a savage food response. We make sure that there are ample rats in our grow-up bins as these females are entering into what we anticipate to be our best breeding season yet. Being a busy and restless summer, we are thankful for how the season has progressed. We are pleased with the quality of the animals we produced, and are ever appreciative of our wonderful customers — breeders and new hobbyists alike.
2010 Canadian Reptile Breeder’s Expo
We hope to see everyone at the 2nd annual Canadian Reptiles Breeders Expo in September. We will be vending once again and are always excited to showcase our ball pythons and witness the greatest collection of Canadian captive-bred reptiles assembled under one roof. See you there.
