Orchids of Everglades National Park (April 10, 2011)Here you will see orchids that are native to and growing in Everglades National Park. These have been found and photographed by me from 2009-present. ENP is home to more than just orchids, its flora & fauna is extensive so all the sights and sounds captured will be shared here. Locations will not always be made available, and this is for the protection of the plants and wildlife.
I hope you enjoy. |

Hypo Reverse Striped Panamanian Boas (2005)C.I.T.E.S. documented Hypo Reverse Striped Panamanian Boa Constrictors.
In 2005 Panama lifted a ten (10) year ban on the Export of reptiles and my good friend Matt Lerer of GHI Reptiles brought in the shipment. It consisted of Regular, Hypo & a very special small group of Hypo Reverse Striped Panamanians, He held onto the Rev. Stripe group and I am fortunate enough to have gotten the entire group Of Hypo Reverse Stripes from him in the summer of 2008.
This is a VERY exciting and new project and will be the center-point of my breeding focus for years to come!
Stay Tuned! |

ReverseStripe Bluefields Nicaraguan Boas (December 28, 2007)Named for the city of Bluefields where the breeding stock originates from. Size: Males average 4.5 to 5.5 feet / Females 5.5 to 6.5 - largest 35 lbs at 7 feet.
Unlike the commonly imported "Central Americans" from the Pacific side of Nicaragua, very few people have ever seen these boas, which range from the area of Pearl Lagoon in the north all the way south towards Costa Rica on the east coast of Nicaragua. Some specialists suggest that "Columbian" type genes are represented on this side of Central America along the coast north through Panama, Costa Rica and this portion of Nicaragua. These boas are more closely related to Costa Rica geographically than to the Pacific Ocean side of Nicaragua. Perhaps they are also more closely related genetically.
Note the great light color, lateral rosettes, saddling and head markings. I have found that the tangerine nuchal (neck) blotch is a trademark of the Bluefields Boas along with the large amounts of tangerine marbling within the saddles.
BLOODLINE F (from wild caught female)

CA Motley Het Anerytheristic Poss Het T+ (August 18, 2008)I acquired this pair of CA Motley boas from Conner Davey in 2008. They were produced by Jeremy Stone in 07/08. The male is an 08 CA Motley 100% Het. Anery Poss. Het. T+ Albino and the female is a 2007 CA Motley Poss. Het. T+ Albino. With just this pair alone the possibilities are endless, but mixed into my CA/Nicaraguan projects I will have years worth of different projects to incorporate them into.
BEST OF ALL.........these Motleys are pure CA blood which originated from Panama..........yep........These gems will be mixed into my Pure Panamanian project to make the very first PURE Hypo Panamanian Motleys, Hypo Reverse Striped Panamanian Motleys, and hopefully Hypo T+ Super Motley Panmanian boas....wow...thats a mouthful!!! |

Costa Rican Boa Constrictors (November 17, 2007)100% Pure 2004 Costa Rican Boas. These snakes are part of the 2005 CITES permitted shipment of Costa Rican Boas. These are some of the very few TRUE LOCALE SPECIFIC Western Costa Rican Boas you will find anywhere. The only other person in the United States that has animals from the same 05 shipment is Chris Gilbert.

Albino Ball Pythons (April 3, 2002)Albino ball pythons are one of the most sought after morphs. Definaetly one of the most beautiful aswell.....albino balls are completely lacking melanin or black pigment. As a result we see white and yellow with ruby red eyes....there are endless combinations to cross the albino into so this is just the begining. (Genetics....Simple Recessive) |

Apricot Ball Pythons (September 26, 2002)Proven genetic in 2005. This works the same way as a pastel does. Apricots have an intense orange coloration as babies and as they age they develope some really nice blushing. The pastel cross is incredibly bright colored...more to be done with this one.
(Genetics....Dominant) |

Axanthic Ball Pythons (April 3, 2002)Axanthic balls are quite neat animals. True axanthic balls are lacking yellow pigment so they look black, silver, and white. This is a necessary morph to have to create the Snow ball. (Genetics....Simple Recessive) |

Black Jungle Ball Python (July 15, 2002)Black Jungle balls are very neat looking snakes. Their vertebral markings have become fused together to form a stripe along the backs and in some animals a solid black stripe is present. The aniamls that I am working with are very different from any others I have come across. In 2003 I produced 3 carbon copies of the original male I got back in 1999. Out of 5 eggs 3 were striped and 2 were totally normal. I will be breeding my F1 male in 2004.
**UPDATE** I bred my F1 male during the 2005 breeding season and I produced 4 clutches of fertile eggs. All 4 clutches had Black Jungles in them......a proven genetic mutation! And they are SUPER looking too! Now to hold back all the girls and work on the SUPER PROJECT!!!!!
(Genetics...Dominant/possibly Co-Dominant) |

Black & White Ball Pythons (April 16, 2002)This is my ABSOLUTE favorite morph of the ball python. I was offered this snake back in 1999 and I almost didnt believe it was real at first. I have a small group that I am working with and I am planning on hatching my first B&W's in 2005/06. (Genetics....Not yet proven) |

Cinnabelly Ball Pythons (August 29, 2007)These are the result of crossing a Graziani line Cinnamon Pastel to a Yellowbelly. It is a subtle cross, but the power lies in the genetics.....the Double Homozygous Super will be a cross between a Solid Black Ball (Super Cinny), and a White Ball Python (Ivory)....who knows what will happen!!!! |

Cinnamon Pastel Jungle (August 20, 2003)Cinnamon Pastels appear to have no black or yellow in them, just shades of brown, tan and white. Like the Pastel Jungle ball python the cinnamons belly is pure white with no black flecking at all and it has a silver stripe in the top half of the eye. As juveniles they have pale stripes on their cheeks starting behind the eye. As adults their heads are almost patternless. When combined with other morphs the possibilities are endless!!! (Genetics....Co-Dominant) |

Genetic striped balls are definaetly the next BIG thing in ball morphs!!! 50% poss het will be available in 2003, Genetic stripes will be availbale in 2004/2005. (Genetics....Simple Recessive) |

IMG Ball Pythons (April 16, 2002)IMG ball pythons are a new morph that will surely spice up the ball world. They start out life as axanthic animals, but soon they turn to a bright lime yellow base color and a heavy ammount of black pigment sets in as they age. Some animals become extremely dark such as Ralph Davis's " Dirty Joe ". Hets will be available in 2003, visuals in 2004. |

Pastel Jungle Ball Pythons - BELL (April 16, 2002)Pastel Jungles are one of the prettiest morphs of the ball python. As hatchlings, they have one of the brightest colors of all balls. As they age, certain lines tend to darken up or dull out while others remain brilliantly colored. I plan on working with every line of the Pastel Jungle to show the variences... (Genetics....Co-Dominant) |

Sherbert Pastel Ball Pythons (August 29, 2006)This male arrived in the U.S. in the summer of 2006. He was one of the most striking animals I had ever seen. He will be one of my project animals for the 2008 breeding season. I will let his pics speak for themselves..... |

Pewter Pastel Ball Pythons (August 15, 2007)Pewter Pastels are the combination of a Cinnamon Pastel crossed to a Pastel jungle. The resulting cross is a silver /purple snake with a pure white ventral surface. One of the hottest looking ball python crosses out there!!! These guys are also special because their daddy, my male Cinnamon pastel was the first cinny hatched in a Pewter clutch by Greg Graziani in 2003. |
