[iluvsmyreptiles]

I finally got my female ackie last night.

This is her:

I was a little worried about introducing her to my male, but this is what happened when they first met last night:

Sweet eh?
Well, this morning i woke up to find this!:

And then later on in the afternoon i found them like this:

It appears to me that they will get on just fine.
Now, where is the hose....?

Looks like he got just what he needed, I like the first pic with his arm round her as he looks away, very sly. Hey that was my first move too as a teenager, works a treat! 8)

[Adam]

Could be wrong but I think it's called breeding?

[Adam]

Stress relief?

That is what i call the horizontal mumbo.
What a machine ah straight into it.
The young lady must of been in love at first sight and he just took advantage of her.
Nice work.

What colour phase are they iluvs???

 

[Parko]

''making the beast with 2 backs''
:wink:

 

[iluvsmyreptiles]

They are red phase Robert.
They are at it again now...

Ackies

hey there iluvsmyreptiles,
things are looking promising for you now!
i spent two years in toowoomba before being transferred up to NQ, and i could never find anyone interested in reptiles while i was there!!!
probably just as well though as my collection would have escallated beyond control if i lived down there now.
anyway, well done again and i hope you advertise any babies that may be produced in the coming months!

Thanks Paddy,
Let me tell you, i can't keep up with the demands here in Toowoomba for reptiles at the moment. Toowoomba is being invaded by herpers! But it's fantastic. People are beginning to open their eyes and realise that a good snake is NOT a dead snake.
