Latest Clutch

I just hatched another clutch. A well satisfying clutch. Not a very good odds but well satisfied clutch indeed. Its from pairing of Pastel x Pinstripe. Female pinstripe drop 5 eggs from that Pairing. From that 5 eggs I got,


0.1 Pinstripe
2.0 Pastel
1.0 Orange Ghost
0.1 Normal.( See the comparison between Ghost on the left and Normal on the Right)

2.3 sex ratio I say, its still okay lah. The odds pairing in book. I should have gotten Lemon Blast. But I miss that out. So now, where the hell that Ghost come from? hehe.. After looking at the possibility. Both parent sure carry the gene of Ghost/Hypo morph. So I miss even greater jackpot. The Ghost Lemon Blast. but never mind. There always next Season. Since both parent carry the gene of ghost meaning all the babies are 66% poss Het Ghost. At least that the bonus.

My Ball Breeding for season 10/11 are finally over. So far this season, I believe I hatched few number of morph. I believe I'm the 1st Bruneian that produce Pastel, Mojave, Lesser Platinum, Ghost, Pinstripe Morph and lot of normal. Prove me wrong. But i doubt I'm wrong, They are other but I did it 1st. woo haa woo haa. Not to mention some other double gene that I hatched too.

Season 11/12 for Ball and Colubrids are on the way now. Let see if more n more snakes born In Brunei next years. So no need to do this pre order pre order or those people yang trying to smuggle ah. Baru ko tahu kana rampas parcel mu. Apa rasa nya? Panas telinga tu eh barang kana rampas. So yang berkenaan atu. Apa Rasa nya? Cuba tah cerita. Atu baru terror. Oh lupa ku mention. Yg dinosour befacial atu. Ambil tah ko eh show arah keraja mu atu. Asak tah ko eh. Nda payah nipu gtau NADA if kan mengambil event atu. Agatah asak uleh mu. Lebih baik ku tidur.

U heard about the craze of Ball Python Mutation? Those Banana, Orange Dream, Fire, Ultramel, Albino etc and those double gene, tripe gene like Blue Eyed Leucistic, Super Black Pastel, Queenbee, Killer Bee, Butter Spinner. Those just insane mutation. But for newbie. Keeping high end designer ball python as 1st timer. Hmm i wont recommend that unless u sure know how to take care of it.

As for beginner or 1st timer in keeping Ball python. My recommend will be a regular normal Ball to start with. Why? its Cheap n affordable. But unless u want spend thousand for designer mutation ofcoz, then go buy those designer morph.

Pastel Ball Python

Pastel Morph Ball is the first proven Ball Python mutation to be recognized. A Codominant mutation which is also Het for Super Pastel and since that Pastel had been crossed to and breed to more designer morph. There are also some brighter yellow lines of pastel that breeder improved by line breeding. As it said. Pastel and Super Pastel are very valuable in producing designer morph.


Pastel Morph are widely use to create lot of mutation nowdays.One of the well -known mutation that had breed crossed with pastel is the Bumblee Bee Ball Python. To name all is kinda impossible as pastel had been cross with plenty of different type of mutation.

This Pastel above are up for sale and 3 heads are available. So anyone wanted to own this morph can email me mharvinl@gmail.com or add on my FB and will be appreciated send me a massage with the subject pastel Ball Python.

I sell quality and healthy Ball python. So far all are eating well. Im not sure after if it transfer to new owner. That I don't know. I know my Reptiles. kalau your snakes sakit or nda mau makan and that snakes is not from me. Pikir kan sediri ah. Tanya balik arah tampat membali. Mana lah ku tahu history nya n bukan masalah ku tu. Aku bukan doktor. Tapi part inject menginject atu.. Boleh ku tu eh tapi inject arah orang otak mereng or kan jadi mereng.

Respiratory Infection

We hobbyist always thought of keeping reptiles but unaware how to treat our beloved pets when It fall sick. In this post this time, I will show abit of med i use to treat my reptiles when they fall sick. Its also good idea to standby medication just in case your reptiles fall sick. One of the most common sickness of your reptiles is respiratory infection(RI).

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Symptoms include listlessness, weight loss due to decreased appetite, swollen or bloated body, gaping, open mouth breathing, often with audible exhalations when in an advanced state. Wheezing may be heard, or clicking noises when breathing. Bubbly, stringy or sheeting mucous appears in the mouth. The head may be held in a raised position to facilitate breathing. In snakes, the tines of the forked tongue may be stuck together. Respiratory infections in snakes are especially dangerous in those snakes who have only one functioning lung (colubrids, etc.).

When you notice signs of a respiratory infection, not only must you evaluate and correct the environmental problems, but you must take the reptile to a reptile to be evaluated for systemic antibiotic therapy and possibly fluid and nutritional support. If the reptile does not respond to environmental correction and the antibiotic therapy, a culture and sensitivity should be done to determine exactly what the organism(s) is and the best antibiotic to combat it. The sample is easily taken by the vet in the form of a choanal swab or, in more difficult cases, a lung washing. In rare cases, the infection may be due to a fungal infection, which requires different medications than bacterial infections.

Treatment


Treating a respiratory infection requires two things: an immediate evaluation of the day and night temperatures in the reptile's enclosure, with additional heat sources added or broken/malfunctioning equipment replaced, and the attention of a reptile vet who will evaluate the reptile for systemic antibiotics and fluid replacement. In addition, if the reptile has cagemates or lives in a room where he is in line-of-site of other reptiles or household pets, an overall psychosocial evaluation needs to be made.

Snakes with respiratory infections should be kept in draft-free but well-ventilated enclosures maintained at the species' day time temperature gradient both during the day and at night. For reptiles who require a hotter basking area, the basking area temperatures do not need to be provided at night, but the higher overall gradient does. This will not only enable the reptile's own immune system to function better, but increases the efficacy of the antibiotics.

Snakes may be able to do fine without food over the short term, but if they begin to show signs of weight loss (a loss in mass) then they, too, will need to be force-fed.

Medication

Medication I use to treat my snakes


Baytril- Baytril is active ingredient manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation, is enrofloxacin. Baytril falls within the Fluoroquinolone class of antimicrobial anti-infective pet medications. A similar class in human medications would include the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (Cipro). Baytril meds and other flouroquinolones were a welcome development in the veterinary field, as they have been proven effective against previously difficult to treat bacteria such as Pseudomona. Baytril is often prescribed by veterinarians to treat a variety of infections in dogs and cats including respiratory, digestive and urinary tract infections. It is also commonly used to treat ear, skin and wound infections as well. Baytril antibiotic is designed to be rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract and can be expected to penetrate into all canine and feline tissues and body fluids, often within two hours, and to be maintained for up to eight to twelve hours.

Reptaid- Reptaid is design to help your reptile overcome viral, bacterial and microscopic infection without the complications one would get more traditional treatments is well known in the reptile world that traditional medication can have limited success and debilitating side effects. While undergoing traditional treatments for parasitic infections, reptiles can experience loss of appetite, lethargy, hydration issues, even organ damage. Reptaid is a blend of herbs that is gentle to the system, and is found to be beneficial to the health and well being of reptiles.

The two most common ways to administrate your animal are injection or orally.

Orally-First, elevate the animal’s head slightly, placing the syringe (without the needle) or dosing gun containing the medication at the side and back of the mouth. Next, discharge the contents of the syringe or gun. Finally, hold the animal until all of the product has been swallowed


In
jections given are picked up by the blood supply and spread to all tissues of the body very rapidly. A needle 1 to 1 ½ inches in length and 18-20 gauge in diameter is recommended for making injections. The best location to give injections is in the heavy muscles of the neck.

With proper dosage and guidelines. I'm quite sure that whatever animal that you treated will generally back to the healthy state. Just to avoid of those infection. Proper husbandry is most important.

And if kamu kamu otak mereng pun. Mau treatment. Mari tah ku inject kan baytril sekali arah jubu hitam mu. Sure Confirm baik.. Mun nda jua mau baik . Mari ku inject sebotol jua baytril atu biar ko palau overdose anti-biotic binatang..ahahaha

Update on Milk Snakes hatched this Season

Been Wondering what happen to my this season Milk hatchling both Honduran and Pueblan? Oh all the babies are doing fine. in fact they are being greedy and growing. I didn't sell any of those babies and keeping all as hold back for my future breeder.


0.1 Pueblan hatched on 19/3/11

Babies Ball Update

Its been sometimes now that my babies ball had hatched. Its already had their 2nd shed. I say most of the babies are doing well and feeding quite greedily. All my normal Babies ball I had sold it off as i didn't have any plan using them in the future for that I'm keeping alot of hold back especially female designer Morph. Now. Let check the current Weight as of 19/8/11.


Fire 120gram
Mojave 104gram. She Just shed
Lesser Platinum 166gram. I'm impressed with her weight

I say' Most of the Babies Ball have grown in weight. I'm going to make them obese. I don't care. All I know. Babies snakes better make them obese and slow it down their food once their reach adult or certain weight. I believe this is to improve their feeding behavior so they wont be one difficult snakes when come to feeding.

My Tremper albino Het Raptor Leopard Gecko that lost it tail few weeks ago had regenerated it tail back. Its look funny abit thou as it was shorter n smaller compare to others leo that never lost their tail.



One more Ball python laid eggs last weeks. Not telling what its is. Just wait and see what come out. But I'm sure will be good one lah.



And Finally, I'm glad too see. Bruneian now accept reptiles as pet. I see nowadays alot people keeping reptile. Not like few years ago. Few years ago, people think I'm crazy when i keep it. But look now. who is crazy? But also they are alot of poser too nowadays. So call reptiles expert konon. Shit!! keep one or two years belagak expert. Keep few more years lah. Baru talk big. Also Keep your reptile pet with secure locked..Jangan Kamu. masa ani. Ular pun kana curi ah..Nda caya. Tanya Pulis. Bah Chau dulu. Agatah Picit picit ular kamu or urut urut kah, If maseh nda satisfied then kapit kan arah dinding.

Snakes Dinner

Its feeding days again for my pythons and boa. I purchased Three types of rodents for their diet so they wont get bored feeding the same types of rodent. Syrian and dwarf Hamster and Lab Rats. I know rodent lovers, You wont like what Im doing, But this snakes got to eat. So I don't care what u peoples think. To me, your whining is just like shit coming out from my asshole.



Dwarf Hamster
Syrian Hamster
Rats

One this feeding days, I just feed my python and Boas. The 3 females Ball python that laid eggs last April also been eating regular now, gaining back their weight so I can start breeding them again for this upcoming breeding soon.


Normal
Normal
Butter
Mojave
Bumble Bee
Pied
Biak Green Tree Python
Malayan Blood Python
Albino Burmese Python
Guyana Red Tailed Boa

So basically, non of the python I offered rejected their food. They all strike, constrict n swallow their meal. except some of those gravid looking python. Talking about feeding. I was told once by so call keeper. That feeding hamster to my snakes can serious harm their health. Not saying it will bite or injured them. Its their meat itself i was told. Oh baru ku tahu tu. WTF BULLSHIT jua. I been doing it for few years and most of those snakes grew bigger. Baru jua memelihara kan mengajar orang tah pulang. Kebaru baruan jua . Iatah pulang kan mengajar aku. Ur clever remarks its just like piece of shit that stuck on ur feet.
One more thing. Ball python don't grow up to 8 feet but only 5 to 6 feet and this very rare. Wild Snakes don't smell like something rotting 5-6 days but you actually risking your life if you try to catch it as you dont know what species you dealing with as It's maybe venomous snakes. Bringing up those snakes are not painstaking but its enjoyable. Throughout my experience If you breed and 10 snakes eggs hatched, all will survive except maybe those defected snakes and finally Ivory Ball python doesn't worth B$65k..But our Sultan is 65.

Ps: If you dont like my post. Dont read. Sak kali ko
