What do you want in your collection.

No not offended at all, I do admit I have seen some that are below par but that one I posted is just magnificent.

[ericreptiles]

I must have a pair of Jungle pythons next. The wife likes the Rough Knob Tailed Geckos,and I am a bit partial to the Giant Cave Geckos.What about another male Bredli. Yeah, no confusion here!!

[jordo]

I'd be happy with a big pit and a big lacey to put in it (I'll be calling you in about 10 years Pete ). Eventually when I'm able to I want every monitor I can get + a blue phase GTS and a python probably a diamond or jungle or both.

[jessop]

I still want a 'spider monkey' or 'orangutang'. But a GTP would be nice in the snake department, Emerald monitor for lizards, and a wedge tailed eagle for the avarians... Fish? Would have to go pirahna! Insects? Some of those giant stick insects or a nice preying mantis...

[Reptile_king]

they are awesome

[Reptile_king]

the jags i mean lol

[jordo]

I don't like the jags, no offense
But the carpondro is awesome!! (I'm guessing its a carpet x GTP or am I terribly wrong)

[Magpie]

What, no DPS?

No way are any diamonds getting into my collection and polluting it!

[Bigblackdog]

Boa, those pythons look spectacular!
Is 'Jag' a colour-specific morph, or can you theoretically get it in any sp.?
Is there a list anywhere of colouration mutation terms, and what they actually mean?
I thought I was clever because I know what a 'hypo' is

[C'baoth]

I'm about done for this season ( maybe ) . I've got a hold a pair of yellow Jungles , I'll be trying to track down a red hypo bredl & Hoping to nab a couple of Ochre BHPs . Oh & maybe a grey snake cos there endangered in my area .

The wish list would be a couple of GTPs & fingers crossed for a blue one .

Wow, I thought this thread would last for about 6 posts. I was bored after the soccer and thought I would throw something up. It is very interesting that it ended up as a post on morphs. It is interesting because that is exactly what I DONT want in my collection. No hypos, no albinos, no jags, no hybrids (not a dig, I just want to admire our wildlife) I just want pure natural animals. And that is why I have been happy to buy wild caught BHP's. Because unless there is a BHP holiday resort in the Pilbara I can be very confident of the origin of my BHP's. I have done similar with my Serpenttongue (2 "T"'s again Nick) Wongawilli Diamonds. I know I will initially fail with the GTP's but one day I might see some real ones around.

Now, as for how and when. I only mention this so that I might give some ideas to others. I have decided to get 2 hatchling pairs each year. That way I need 4 hatchie tubs. Easy. I move them to my new bank of 500x400x400 cages as yearlings and then buy 2 more hatchie pairs. In another year I move the yearlings to 2x2x2's. I have already built two of them (posted pics in another thread) so I need to build 2 more before my Diamonds are 2 years old. Then a year later they go into their adult cages (outside for Diamonds). So, this year its Diamonds and Darwins (anyone got any for sale - high red please). Next year Jungles and BHP's (hopefully babies of our own BHP's). And then GTP's and Womas at the start of 2009.

I am not stressed about breeding them. I want to but only for the satisfaction. I have no interest in making money out of my hobby. If they breed I will sell them to quality dealers like Sydney Reptile Centre (see who can work this out) at big discounts so they can sell them at realistic prices and still make a profit.

Thoughts?
