Terrible photo taken post-shed after her 2007 clutch.  She's normally much lighter/softer in color.

This is a GQ Outcross x Pure GQ pairing.  These snakes have 75% GQ genetics with the other 25% coming from my old wild caught female Irian Jaya.

Aside from being one of the nicest and most consistent lines in the United States, this line is typically very docile and they're excellent feeders from the time they hatch.  This line has also been traced back to the wild, making these known 100% pure Irian Jayas.

This clutch actually rivals both of the GQxGQ pairings I've done in the past and is, without question, the most consistent clutch of Irians I've ever produced.  Normally there are darker ones and lighter ones, but I ended up with 12 light ones and only one darker one (which isn't as dark as ones I've produced before).

Contact List & Pricing
I don't do reservation lists, but I do take names and put them on a list of people to be contacted when they become available.  This clutch started feeding on thawed prey off of tongs - 100% success on the first attempt.

Pairs - $550
Lone Males - $250

No lone females available as I only ended up with one extra female, which I'm keeping.


This is the most consistent clutch of Irian Jayas I've ever produced. To give you a reference point of how consistent the quality is in this clutch, the darkest one in this clutch is as bright as Tripod (GQxWC) was as a baby.  She was actually the brightest one from the clutch that she came from (2004 GQxWC).  I obviously don't know yet if any of these will be THE nicest IJ I've ever produced, but looking at the color quality of this clutch as a whole, this is easily the most consistent quality I've ever produced (or seen) in an Irian Jaya clutch. 

I told myself I'd only keep one female this year (considering I have 40+ Irian Jayas growing up), but I can't even decide which ones NOT to consider keeping, let alone which one to keep.  Looks like we'll have a coin toss ceremony pretty soon!
