The majority of this group of high yellow chondros has been selectively bred from Papua New Guinea animals. This form of high yellow chondro is the result of selectively breeding animals with increased amounts of yellow over many generations. A natural form of high yellow chondro is known to occur on Biak island. We are also working with some locality crosses to develop additional unrelated high yellow lines.
Female ID# 96027
Hatched in 1996 at Signal Herpetoculture Dam 92001 Sire 92002.
The male MJYLO was introduced to this female during December 2000 through mid February 2001. The male showed little to no interest in this female so no further introductions were attempted.
This female was sent to a friend in June of 2001 to be bred to a Lemon Tree male. The male showed lots of interest and many copulations were seen. She layed her very first clutch in the fall but unfortunatly all 34 eggs were infertile. Not much weight was lost in the effort and she has regained her condition rapidly. We'll try again in 2002 and see what happens.
Well this female was again bred to the Lemon Tree male owned by Greg Schroeder in 2003. She layed a clutch of 40 eggs on 27 September 2003. Unfortunatly, only 10 appear fertile at the time of oviposition. Click here to see pictures of the pair and the clutch.
This female was again bred to Greg Schroeder's Lemon Tree male in 2005. This year 10 offspring were hatched from a clutch. One offspring survived only for a short time. The remaining 9 hatchlings were split between the two parties. Click here to see pictures of the offspring.
Female ID# 02091
Hatched here 8 July 2002.
Female ID# 02100
Hatched here 16 July 2002.
Dam: EA9604 Sorong form
Sire: 99151 Biak Island form
This female is part of our project to produce new high yellow line animals that are unrelated to the more common "Lemon Tree" and "OS" bloodlines. Our goal is to produce high yellow animals with prominent blue dorsal markings.
Female ID# 03031
Produced by Trooper Walsh in 2003.
Dam: "Big Bird" O.S. High yellow line.
Sire: "Old Yeller"
This girl was being bred by our PNGxLemon male, 05051, in 2008. Unfortunately she died on 30 May 08 with two developing eggs in her oviducts. Below are some images of the necropsy.
Male ID# 03117
This Nicoli high yellow line male is on loan from our friend John Holland of Blue Region.
He was bred with one of our PNG line females, 96013, in 2005 and produced a very nice litter. He was also paired with the female 97016 but she did not produce a clutch.
This male was bred to a PNG line female, 00071, in 2007. She produced a nice large clutch and we hope the results are as nice as his previous litter.
This male died in the fall of 2007.
Female ID# EA0312 AKA "Skyler"
Captive bred by Eddie Aste 28 April 2003.
Dam ID# EA9806 Sire ID# EA0009
This female is currently on loan to us from Eddie Aste.
We are planning on pairing her with male 04158 in 2007.
Female ID# 04018
Hatched here 31 May 2004
Dam: EA9604 Sorong form.
Sire: 99017 Biak form.
This is another locality cross intended to expand the high yellow lines.
Female 04095
Hatched here 31 July 2004
Dam: 00111 PNG x Sorong.
Sire: 01049 Biak form.
This girl is an offspring from our "Tiger Stripe" clutch. Although unexpected this clutch produced a number of very unusual animals. It just goes to show how the Biak influence can produce some very interesting results.
Male ID# 05051
Produced by Greg Schroeder 10 June 2005.
Dam: 96027 On loan to Greg S. Sire: 95 Lemon Tree
This male was from a joint breeding project between Greg Schroeder and myself. Below are images of the sire and dam.
Female ID# 05051
Produced by Greg Schroeder 10 June 2005.
Dam: 96027 On loan to Greg S. Sire: 95 Lemon Tree
This female was from a joint breeding project between Greg Schroeder and myself. Below are images of the sire and dam.
Below is an image of her going through her color change.
Female ID# 06040
Produced by Eddie Aste in 2006.
This girl is turning out to be quite a nice high yellow animal. It is no wonder since both parents have strong yellow genes. Lil Bird was produced by Buddy Goetzger from a pairing between Mesa (50% Lemon Tree) x Big Bird. The sire Gordon is from O.S. high yellow lines.
Male ID# 07040
This specimen was produced by John Holland from breeding two outstanding designer type specimens in 2006. Many exceptional animals were produced from this pairing.
