          Yes totally Jenny

          What intrigues me more is Missy (the tortie) has no interest in catnip toys or spray etc but shes loved the cat mint the most out of all the cats.

          Which baffles me

              tried planting cat nip, the poor plant got rolled to death. So just use the dry stuff on a post now and then.

              Anyway, here are 4 of my fur babies in a close proximity together for a shot. From the top, Sissy, Panther, Moms and Phantom, all related.

                I have worked out that in a week I will be a dad to about eight royal python eggs with a mixture of different morphs inside. This is a picture of the female today

                          sorry mate , these snakes are royal pythons, I have been playing a little bit of God with these and by manipulating genetics I am in the process of designing a snake called the bumblebee

                          Here is a snippet you can read and I will show the rest with a few photos

                          The bumblebee ball python, which is shown below, is a gorgeous yellow and black snake that is generally docile and, unlike other ball pythons, does not occur naturally in the wild. Instead, this snake is produced by man through one of multiple possible deliberate breeding schemes.

                          So it all started a few years back with a royal python which is known in the trade as an enchi python " which is basically named after its pattern and colour

                          [​IMG]

                          This was then breed with what is known as a pastel

                          [​IMG]

                          Out of the clutch of eggs one was a ( enchi pastel ) which carries the pastel colour( yellow ) and the enchi pattern

                          [​IMG]

                          Now were up to date I have mated the enchi pastel with my female spider morph. This name is given because of the distinctive pattern ( looks like spider mans black lines )

                          [​IMG]


                          this is the spider female today

                          [​IMG]

                          By breeding these I will get what is known as the bumblebee, as you can see from the picture below, not only does it carry the spider pattern but it has the bright yellow from the pastel

                          [​IMG]

                          [​IMG]

                          [​IMG]

                          Hope that makes sense a little, any other questions please ask

                          Jamie
