May 2008 Update

I am very pleased to announce that the pair above has proven out and I have a fertile clutch from them in my incubator. This clutch is doing very well and should hatch soon! The HCQ Tigers are some of the best Tiger Carpets out there and I am hoping to make them even better with this pairing. While the female is not a Tiger, she is very striped and what I hope to do is make this line even more high contrast! Wish me luck on this clutch. Very few if any tigers from this pairing will be made available if I am lucky enough to get a hatch.

 

This is a clutch resulting from pairing a genetically striped Jaguar to a Jungle. As you can see there are some striped Jungle Jaguars in this cluster of babies. There are also some siblings with some very odd shaped lateral markings in this group. I will get pictures of them up on my site as they begin to shed and feed. In addition to this clutch I also will soon have another Jungle Jaguar group of eggs hatching from pairing a male Jungle to a banded female Jaguar. Keep checking back for updates!!

 

25 new copies of this book have just arrived and are ready to be shipped out. I can provide autographed copies for anyone with an interest. Click the link below for pricing and to pay with PayPal!
This pairing has resulted in a viable clutch of eggs! These are Sorong Chondropythons that I got from Rico Walder and raised from babies. This particular line of Green Tree Pythons are known to be very easy going and I am able to get my adults out and hold them whenever I want to and they never bite. I will only sell babies from this pairing to experienced snake keepers.
This was a welcome site!
This banded Albino Ball is 50% possible het for Snow. She was bred to this genetic Tiger that is a 100% Het for albino and 66% het for Snow:
The resulting offspring from this pair of snakes are some of the nicest Tigers and Albino Tigers you will ever see, and they are possible hets for snow!
My Yellowbellies have also proven to be viable breeders and I was greeted with the following site this morning! I will get Yellowbellies and Ivory Balls from this clutch!
Colubrids are also laying eggs!
This is an Albino Brooks Type Kingsnake that was bred to another Albino Brooks that is het for snow. If the eggs hatch all the babies will be Albinos and possible hets for Snow!
Pictured above is a het Calico that was bred by a male Calico. This is going to be a great year for Calico Cow Suckers!!
It was also nice to get this nice clutch of albino whitesided black rat eggs. This female was bred to a Calico Cow Sucker so the resulting babies will have the potential to produce several new morphs.
2008 has also been a great year to gather herpetological baseline data here in Kentucky! Here is one of the snakes Phil Peak and I discovered earlier this year:
Phil and I were also fortunate enough to find one of the rarest snakes in Kentucky this Spring. This snake is not only rare in Kentucky, but throughout much of its range outside of here as well. This snake has the smallest known range of any snake in The Commonwealth with only one known population with a mere handful of sightings. This is The Mississippi Green Water Snake, a species we thought we may not ever encounter!
In closing I will post one final shot:
This is a Copperhead that Phil and I discovered while conducting herpetological surveys here in Kentucky. I thought the picture was pretty neat. Conducting meaningful herp surveys is only becoming more and more difficult to do with the shape that our economy is in these days. I use monies that I get from the sales of my exotic snakes to help fund my conservation efforts here in Kentucky. When you buy a snake from me you not only help to pay for my rats, but you also are helping to conserve native herp populations. I am very grateful and once again want to thank everyone who helps and supports my efforts.  Will
 
April 2008 Update!!

Male Tiger Breeds Tiger Jaguar Female April 08.

I am very excited about how 2008 is shaping up. This has been a tough breeding season for me and I have been forced to put all of my experience to the test in order to get any clutches at all. I have had many failures so far but some great things have also happened. The photo above is something I did not expect or intend but I am stoked none the less. This is a Tiger breeding a Tiger Jaguar female. I wanted to wait on this girl but she ovulated and I chose to put several males with her. This one in the photo is the only one that showed any interest and several breedings have taken place now. My fingers are crossed for the resulting super tiger jaguar babies and what ever else results...if I am able to get a hatch. Stay Tuned!

Clutch Laid April 2008!

     I am very pleased to announce that the pair above has proven out and I have a fertile clutch from them in my incubator. The HCQ Tigers are some of the best Tiger Carpets out there and I am hoping to make them even better with this pairing. While the female is not a Tiger, she is very striped and what I hope to do is make this line even more high contrast! Wish me luck on this clutch. Very few if any tigers from this pairing will be made available if I am lucky enough to get a hatch.

Female Jaguar Breeds Male Jungle 08.

I have also gotten eggs from two Jungle Jaguar pairings so far including the pair pictured above. I am very pleased to be in a position to offer Jungle Jaguars this season. One of my clutches is due to hatch in 30 days and the eggs look great. The clutch due in 30 days is the result of a striped Jag bred to a jungle. The babies will be great! The pair pictured above is also interesting in that the female Jag is very banded and the result from my male Jungle should prove interesting.

Albino Brooks Kings Possible Het Snow Breeding 08!

Colubrids are also breeding here. Above is a photo showing my male albino brooks King het for snow breeding an albino female. The resulting babies will all be albinos that are possible het snow. I will have morph rat snake updates later!

Finally, I have to say that Spring is here. Phil Peak and I have been busy. We continue to struggle to help conserve native snakes, but we had a great day here a while back when we put our theories to the test and proved them to be true. Behold a Kentucky Hoop Snake!

A Kentucky Mudsnake!

  At this time I would like to thank all of you who support my efforts. Without your help and support I would fail. Profits that I make from exotic captive bred snake sales are used to advance local conservation efforts here in my home State of Kentucky. I appreciate the continued support. If you are interested in conserving your local snakes Phil Peak and I have authored a book that will help you in your efforts. The link to how to buy this cheap and useful book is in the update posted below and all monies made from sales go back into our conservation projects.

Also, I have many Carpet Python, Ball Python, Rainbow Boa, and Mutant Rat Snake clutches that are in the works that will be posted up in a future update. Please check back and e-mail me with any questions. Thanks!! Will Bird

 
February Update!!
Snake Hunting Guide.
A Snake Hunting Guide is now available. I can provide autographed copies for anyone with an interest. Click the link below for pricing and to pay with PayPal!
Many of my 07 baby snakes are beginning to color up very well. They have been feeding heavily and are now established and ready to find new homes. I have recently taken new pictures of all of my available snakes and put them up on the website.
brb promo.
Babies from this and other BRB pairings are looking great and now available. Click the link below to see what is ready for shipment.
female 1316
Above is Pure Diamond Female #1316. I have only a couple of these left so if you have an interest now is the time to act. You can see updated photos of available snakes and prices by clicking the link below.
male jag 1354
This is Male Jaguar #1354. He and a few other Jaguar Carpets are still available but selling fast. I hatched these guys in July and have been putting some serious meals in them every week. This is a great time to get a very well started Jaguar with a nice head start. Visit the link below to see updated shots of who is available!
male jungle 1291
My 07 Jungle Carpets are really starting to color up and are looking great. There are still plenty of males and a couple of females to choose from. Hit the link below for details:
female het albino 1306.
I have a lot of het albino and het axanthic ball pythons available right now. These and all of my normal 06 females are feeding voraciously on rats. No mousers from KE! Click the link below for ball python availability:
I appreciate all of the support that all of you all have given me over the years by checking out my site and buying a snake or three from me. The costs of caging, rodents, and everything else continues to skyrocket and I could not afford to keep up my projects without your support. Thank you!
As we blaze into 2008 I am excited about some of the pairings that I have been able to bring together so far this season.  Check this out!
82% promo
This is the pairing I am most excited about so far this season. I have seen this pair copulate on many occasions and the female is off food and appears very gravid. It is unknown just exactly how these high percentage diamonds will look but I suspect them to be some of the best I have ever produced. I will be making some available if I get a good hatch.
tiger promo
I have high hopes for this pairing as well. The female is from a line that produces a lot of striping. She is also one of the more high contrast examples from this line and I believe that the result of injecting some HCQ Tiger blood will be very nice indeed!
Other breeding updates can be viewed by clicking the link below:
I have also updated the research page in my Field Herping Section. There are a lot of graphs that reveal native snake activity trends that I believe many of you will find interesting. The costs of gathering data also continues to sky rocket. Money from the sales of my exotic pythons goes directly into the research and conservation projects that Phil Peak and I conduct. I want to once again thank everyone who has bought a book or a snake from me and I want you all to know that a whole lot of that money funds the conservation efforts that I am involved in. If you want to do more to help conserve snakes please contact me. Our projects need funding and any donations made to our local Herp Society are tax deductable and 100% of the donated funds go directly into our field projects. To learn more about our 501c-3 non profit Herpetological Society click the link below.
Thanks a lot, be safe, and I will update again soon! Will
