New Life Tonight

Finally, its been a long time since I posted anything special about the wonderful world of reptiles. Well, life been busy, concentrating on breeding and reducing the collection where I sold off my viper and mangrove snake that been a wonderful pet for 3 years. Sad? Yea, why not rite.

I'll be flying off to the states in a month time and that's the reason why I need to give up my hots. Is not that I don't trust the baby sitter, but just the guilt in me if something bad happen.

The main point I'm posting this today is to self declare that I'm a ball python breeder, yay =)
5 eggs from my spider X normal pairing yield me 5 large healthy eggs. Through out the whole process, virgin spider was quite a stud in picking up my large female. Here there are, 5 eggs cooking in the incubator on day 57.

Pictures will be uploaded soon after every babies are out of their eggs. Forgot to mention that tonight I will be slicing the eggs to check out the odds first.

Superbly excited right now =)

Ballies update (April 4)

Hi y'all, haven't been updating the pieces of me for some great length due to the boringness and dullness of life that I'm encountering. The life which only concentrating on the concrete cities issues, studies, cash . . . bored

Anyone has any idea is there any reptiles carnival or program coming up soon, really need these kind of things to sparkle up a little !

Anyways, here they all, as a noob first time breeder that attempted in pairing my Spider X normal since 1 Dec 2010, numerous locks have been encountered, up to 36 hours sometimes.
Well, I pretty sure I miss count on the number of locks but they are more than 20 so far.

This is my biggest female, pairing up with a Spidy, laid 5 healthy eggs last year with the weight of 1.7kg. Hopefully we will be admiring a bigger clutch this year.

Normal female, another year to go before making her a mama

My beautiful spider, only takes him 2 attempt to figure her out. Oh ya, he was a virgin 5 months back. Just hope he is not shooting blanks inside her. Come on !!

My lovely male, Rex buddy. One of my most beautiful, docile, adventurous and sporting snake

Currently, my only breeding pair been acting negatively after 4 months of mating. Numerous locks is the only positive issue. Not a sign from the Markus Jayne are witness. Both snakes eating like a hog, and I didn't know their appetite started fancy on baby chicks too.

Sigh, only time can tell, breeding officially stops early July. *Crossing fingers*

Zoo Singapore

Visited Singapore last semester break, took the initiative to walk in Singapore national zoo and left with no regrets. Frankly speaking, this place is one of the best well kept animal sanctuary which I ever been.

If I'm not mistaken, it's 25 Singapore dollar per entry.

I was greeted by the alligator upon walking in from the entrance.

Found this sign of Proboscis Monkey but didn't manage to grab photos on the animal.

Water monitor roaming around the path on my way.

I was amazed by this white tigers, they are just amazing. Pure white ! And, they are like 4 to 5 of them in an enclosure.

Alligator Gar, one of the biggest freshwater species.

Baby Hippo !! Darn cute. Every man made pond are clean and clear. Unlike here, when the hippo dive into the water, you can only see a patch of mud.

The Baboon family, 20 of them approximately, well managed !

This was the boss of all Baboon's, he is the biggest size and 3 to 4 females following him like body guards, hehe.

Happily in their nice and clean enclosure, very nice set up. Reminds me of Lion King.

Follow up was this Kangaroo park, it was specially situated in another side of the zoo. Kangaroos roaming everywhere. You may buy some food to feed them and have a photo with them.

Unidentified Iguana

Carpet python

As I mentioned, the habitats which the zoo provided for the animals are nicely mentioned. The photo above is the habitat for monkeys.

Jumbo's !

Big, fat, healthy and docile Manatees

A sea lion show :)

One of my must go place in every part of the country.

I hope this won't appear in Malaysia

Teenage Komodo's

Galapagos Giant Tortoise !

The penguin's in Singapore Zoo are truly adorable.

Alright, that's all. Generally, among all the reptiles or animals sanctuary that I've been, this was the most well kept one that I ever been ! Good Job Singapore, cant wait to visit the night safari on my next visit.

Peace Out

Surprise In The Morning

This is my second witness of locking by my first pairing. Spider (male) x Female ( normal )

It doesn't really look like a promising lock in this picture but things turned out pretty good after an hour, saw a perfect lock but decided not to disturb them by capturing anymore pictures and just let nature take its cause
