YES! once again we are going to be hatching out piebald clowns. Not sure how many are in the eggs but we are hoping for a few of them. This is only the second time piebald clowns have been hatched out. So this is a new morph that is sure to be the favorite of many. Stay tuned tomorrow for an update if we can see what is in the egg before we leave to Daytona for the big show.

So today we had a clutch of spiders hatching. HA thats we we thoguht any ways. No spiders you know what we call that? Bad Odds! Yes it happens. 7 eggs and no spiders. You know what that means someone sold me a spider that is not a real spider! no no no that is just they way it goes. Maybe on aanother clutch this season we will have more favorable odds and score on something big. This is always the fun time of year waiting and watching what comes out of the eggs. Plus it is show season! You all ready for that? Heack we are finally going to be able to start showing 2011 animals. We may have a few in Daytona but most of them all hatch afterwards so Chicago will be the big showing of the 2011 animals. Look slike Mocha Mojaves we will be hatching soon. Keep a look out for them. They are the nicest white snake we produce.

Reptile super show blows a breaker so it was a little dark for about 20 minutes but it sure made it fun.

All I can say is where did this year go? It has really been a fast one. We are still getting things ready for the breading season. I know many people are already well into it but the weather here has been on the warm side still. Here we are getting ready to go out caroling and there is no snow on the ground. Great if you are out in California but here it is a little strange. Snows will be here soon though looking at the forecast. We have been just really been refining down what we are going to be working with the next several years. Colette is working like crazy trying to get things in order. Should be a good season though. The supply business is going great but kicking my butt right now. Getting a website up like that is a ton of work. Still working on a few surprises for it as well so that is taking time too. The week of Christmas will be great to just spend time with the family and relax from everything else. If I do not get anymore post up here this year I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year. Look forward to seeing you at the next show.

Well here we are looking at the holidays already. I have a show in AZ next week and then it is over for the calendar year any ways. I have been working hard on the new website for supplies. Colette is going to kill me if I do not get back in the snake room soon. I have pics to take and everything. I do not know how I leave for shows when I have so much to do here. You know we have done so much with BP’s you would think I could clone myself by now. Can you imagine having an employee that could think just like you and know how you would do things. That would be so cool. One of my current employees just came up to the door to buy rodents. We started talking and something told me hey this is your new employee. Well he has been here over a year now and wish I could find some more like him. With us growing we need some more dedicated people. Maybe another one will come knocking soon.

TSKsupply is off and running. We have been filling orders every day. Today we started punching cups. It is actually not a bad thing to do as we make a game out of it. You know timing your self to see how long it takes to do a case. I am sure in the months ahead we will see those times come down. Right now we are working on the cups and getting things in order around the shop. You put everything out only to find out later you want it different once you start working.

Well off to bed for now. Been sick for the last two days so I need a little more rest.

A killer clown is the last one of the year. Perfect!
