| December 24 | I sold my adult couple Morelia
Bredli. Sheer beautiful animals! I had no plans on breeding with them
next year because my Elaphe gonyosoma and Sanzinia Madagascariensis
are old enough to breed with for the first time next year. As my Bredli's
should have a larger terrarium as well I decided to sell them.

| December 11 | An adult Sanzinia Madagascariensis
was
in stress last night when I openend her terrarium. She showed the same
behaviour (flattening her neck) as i saw with Elaphe gonyosoma (compare
these pictures with the ones taken on Februari 2 this year. I never saw
this behaviour before and I never read about it on this specie..

| December 1 | The couple Elaphe gonyosoma will be three years old in Januari. They are doing well and have reached a length of 1.5 metres. I want to breed with them next year. | |
| October

I decided to sell my breeding couple
Morelia
viridis. Both male and female born in my collection and problemfree
animals. I had no plans in breeding with them over the next few year so
decided to sell them.
There father is still in my collection. I bought him at the eage of six weeks in 1994. He's eighteen years old and "still going strong". He is the oldest snake in my collection. |

I had a good time at the Snakeday today. Much to my surprise I found German offspring Laprophis aurora on sale. A beautiful African housesnake a was looking for for ages. I bought a couple. They have the same father but different mothers. They will be in quarantine for the next few months. |

The red female Corallus hortulanus
delivered
her litter last night: seven large juvenile and six unfertile eggs. She
was restless over the last few days. I found her (and that is unique) last
night on the floor of the terrarium. This morning she was back in her regular
high hiding place with a beautiful youngster next to her.
What a sight to see!.

The red female Corallus hortulanus is very active for the last two days. She also opened her bowls (her last meal was on June 4). I expect het to deliver within the next few days. I offered her a small rat because she was very much responding om me feeding the other snakes. Much to my surprise she accepted without hesitation. | |
| September 19 | The orange female Corallus hortulanus
gave
birth to 10 large juvenile last night. No dead youngsters and no unfertile
eggs..
A beautiful litter! a.jpg) |

| September 14 | I wouldn't be surprised if the orange female gives birth one of these days. She opened here bowls today (she had her last feeding on March 4). | |
| September 8 | The orange 2006 female Corallus
hortulanus is pregnant too. She had her last meal in June 4. See how
red she became in a few months time! Looking at her belly I expect a larger
litter then the other female. I expect her to give birth at the end of
the year.

| September 5 | The yellow 2007 female Corallus
hortulanus is pregnant. She had her last meal on March 4, has a darker
colour (compare photos) and her belly is growing. She will probably have
her litter in November.

I bought myself an unrelated couple Oreophis porphyraceus coxi on the Snakeday last year. Poor eaters until March. I found out that I was keeping them too warm at 26 - 30 degrees Celcius. After removing the heater the temperature dropped to 20 -25 degrees Celcius. They accept small mice every week and grow well. |

During April I did put my couple
Morelia
Bredli together for several periods of time. I observed five matings
in total.

On August 16 last year a Corallus
did
burn herself on an bulb. For me it was the first time ever that this happened
to Corallus. The picture opposite is from last August, the one below
was made today. The wound is healing nicely but slowly.

Over the last five weeks the 2001 male spent three periods of a week with the 2007 female. No matings observed at all. The lady should be sexually mature... | |

While getting a first impression on the males and females in the 2011 litter, this boy was very helpfull to us. |

The couple Oreophis porphyraceus coxi that I bought in October on the Snakeday is nog doing too well. They don't eat a lot. I reduced the temperature from 27 degrees Celcius to 22-23 degrees. Maybe I keep them too warm?? |
|
| February
2 |
During cleaning the
terraria this Elaphe Gonyosoma showed his stress. Probably because
it was feeding time as well and did he see or smell the rats.

I have 2.2 Sanzinia Madagscariensis including 1.2 born in 2007 and a seperate male from 2010. This male is doing well and I had to put him in a bigger terrarium. For the photo I did put him together with a 2007 female to show the differance in size en color (the 2010 male is colouring up green nicely). It turned out to be stressfull for both animals so it's not the best picture I ever made.. |
