Obsessed

So, ever since we have decided to start breeding I have been obsessed with the different morphs. Even though most of our snakes are not ready for breeding this year, and some will not even be ready next year I am still planning who will go with whom! We will be getting a firefly male and a spider female here soon in exchange for some work so that will be even more to plan with. So far I know for sure that I want to pair Princess Buttercup with the mojave male because I definitely want to try and get a Butter Mojave/ Blue Eyed Lucy. They are just so pretty! Love the all white snakes. Another definite pairing will be the pinstripe with the firefly male so I can try and get a dragonfly. We will most likely pair the bumblebee male with the pastel female because there are so many great morphs you can get from that pairing. Not sure with the spider female yet. Waiting for them to get big enough is painful! 
Medusa and Perseus have locked up a few more times. She looks fatter to me but hey that's probably just wishful thinking! They have been together for a couple months and we had them in the living room so we looked at them a lot every day and never saw them pairing up before so it is possible, though not likely, that they had locked up before. It will be weird to see Medusa all fat and then mean when she lays. I keep thinking she might not get mean but everyone says it doesnt matter how nice they were before they get mean when they lay. Another odd thing is, I have read on a lot of sites that they will refuse to eat while mating but both of them have been eating right on schedule and within seconds of putting them in the feeding chambers. Guess not every one is the same! 
Like I said, this is new and we have researched extensively but the real thing will be different than reading things online etc. Fun times :)
