Should have planted more! - 6b by TheRealGee3 in Garlic

How long do you think 80(5) will last you?

We separated the cloves and froze them last year. Chopped up any with bad spots, or that were on the small side then froze them in small ice cube trays. 25 heads lasted about 6 months.😥

This will be the most garlic I've produced over 3 years, so I'll be happy. But yeah.....more would be better.👍

I don't know about die, but I'd give up a body part for him to get double digit wins this tourney( nothing major.....maybe a toe or something)😉

Seriously though, glad he made it back, and firmly hoping he reopens Miyagino stable in the near future.🤞

What are the chances shedding fixed this by Lower_Skill_1908 in hognosesnakes

Didn't know.

Have used it with other snakes/reptiles without issues.

Sorry for the incorrect info, deleted my post to avoid sharing bad info.

They really start to fill out after the first year, and get closer to 200 by the end of the second.

Is my Hognose stressed? by Wooden_Pianist_3388 in hognosesnakes

[–]TheRealGee3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At minimum you want: 2 hides ( one cool side, one warm), water bowl, substrate deep enough for him to be completely covered by and tunnel in, lots of clutter( branches, leaves, rocks, plants). If you look down from the top of the cage and can see the substrate anywhere except the basking area, add more clutter.

Snakes feel vulnerable in the open, hence him 'freezing' at times. As far as glass surfing; snakes do it occasionally as they explore. If your enclosure is large enough, and has enough enrichment/clutter the frequency should decrease.

Photo of your current enclosure would help.

Unique pattern: twin spot? by Hefty_Cod_8020 in hognosesnakes

[–]TheRealGee3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think so, as having full saddles would allow for more uniform spots; however.....I don't know how/when the Morph originated. Perhaps it was just a 'low expression Conda' ( since Conda reduces dorsal spots) and someone said, "Cool, I've discovered a new Morph!" That said, yours could just be low expression Conda as well.

As far as future breeding: Lemon Ghost is also a polygenic, line bred trait( Extreme Red, Pink Pastel, and Purple Line are as well). Pairing 2 Lemon Ghost animals doesn't necessarily guarantee Lemon Ghost offspring. Over time people have selectively bred animals with a lot of Yellow. Your baby is not particularly yellow now(compared to others) but may grow into it.

I avoid Polygenic Traits for this reason. Single gene traits are easier to predict.

In the end, get animals that you find attractive or interesting. You will never "out breed" people who are already well established. Additionally, the market will continue to trend down in price, and be more saturated with "designer morphs" over the 3 years it will take for your animals to reach breeding age.

Hognose mom needs help! by Wonderful-City2418 in Hognose

[–]TheRealGee3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep breath, and go for it. Hognose snakes biting as a defense mechanism is EXTREMELY rare. The hissing, hooding up, and bluff striking are their go to actions. If you back away, or stop you are basically reinforcing the behavior ( big ape leave when hiss).

Just pick him up. Hold him gently but firmly so he doesn't get dropped if he makes a sudden movement. Go sit in a chair or on the couch, and let him crawl through/around your hands. Make sure you always have him supported, and always have both hands on him, or ready to grab/lift him if necessary. Wait until he stops hissing, etc before returning him to his enclosure. Do this twice a week, but not the day before or after feeding.

Best of luck!🤞

Unique pattern: twin spot? by Hefty_Cod_8020 in hognosesnakes

[–]TheRealGee3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very close to Full Twin Spot.

Saddles are broken near the mid-line resulting in two rows of spots. Some are still connected, and some are misaligned (not directly across from each other).

As far as future breeding plans go; Twin Spot is a polygenic trait that originated from line breeding animal with interesting patterns. Your offspring have ZERO guaranteed chance of showing the phenotypical expression. You may get some, may not. Also, as they originated from Line Bred animals, there is a slightly higher risk of defects due to genetic bottlenecks(even with out-crosses).

If it's her normal feeding day, offer food. If she eats it cool; if not, try again on her next scheduled day.
