You could try 800/1200 fine grit wet & dry and use with Brasso...

No way I know of ,for the common man to do it, it's normally just a case of breeding/proving out, but I personally wouldn't buy a het from anyone, as you say some will sell you a normal telling you it's het for this/that with no way of knowing,produce your own, if thats the road you want to go down, but to be honest nowadays 2/3 gene visuals are pretty cheap now , animals that were £3-4k say 4/5 years ago can be picked up for few hundred pounds now.

To some extent if you buy even a 100% het from someone it is on trust, unless you hatched the snake yourself, obviuosly the smaller % of het the less chance of hitting the visual, if you buy a het from someone (who says it's whatever % het) it can take you years to prove it out, especially if it's a recessive gene.

To complex & time consuming to explain, but certain characteristics of certain snakes carry over to offspring and can be plainly be seen, if you have bred say a 3 gene female with a 2 gene male & no other male has been with the female, you should know what the offspring are going/should be, you have possibility of snake producing, 1,2,3,4 & possibly the 5 gene animal, depending on whether you are breeding Dominant / Co-Dominant / or Recessive gene animals, you have certain % of hitting each, with the 5 gene hatchling being 'the golden fleece' from the pairing although the odds

I'd ask them for the money they owed give them deadline to pay in full (well before move out date) if they weren't forth coming, I'd be out with my chainsaw and lot would be down & burnt , and I'd make sure they saw me doing it..

Yeah don't do a lot really..lol, ultimate goal in the breeding game is to try & get as many genes into the one animal as you can really, at one point around 6/7 years ago breeders were paying big money for some high end male morphs £30k+ per animal, there was serious money in it at one point, then lots of people thought they could jump on the bandwagon & produce stuff for a quick buck, started to undercuut each other price wise & it strarted to get a bit silly, some of the high end American breeders started to try & control the market (Banana Royal Python Morph) with releasing

I had around 40 snakes that were 100% live feeders, it's not illegal in UK, (it's frowned upon by some), snake has to feed, if imported animal from US for example where it would have been fed on live fronm hatchling, you have no option of feeding live or go through painstaking process of converting to frozen or fresh kill,some will also stopp feeding on frozen & you will need to feed them live to kick start them feeding again, I had garage full of racks of Rats/Mice & Multimamattes, feeding night would be around 150 rats a week, sometimes more if breeding season & females were pili

Think most of that is 'Urban Myth' , constrictors do not even start or attempt to swallow their prey until they know it's dead, they can feel preys heartbeat through their coils, and continue to constrict until they know pulse has stopped, they never 'plan' a meal if it was going to eat her (physically impossible as even a snake at 30' + would struggle to get its jaws over/around our shoulders) it would of had her there and then, not put if off ..lol, snakes are ectothermic (cold blooded) and as we are endotherms (warm blooded) they see us as a heat source, practically a furnace producing hea

I took a bite off a big black blood once, felt like my hand had been smashed with a lump hammer! Their strike force is just insane. Wouldn't fancy getting a kiss off a GTP either... They used to have a really bad rep when the majority of them were grumpy wild caught specimens but these days a decent captive bred one is no worse than any other large python really. They're very active though, always on my toes when "playing" with my pals retics. I've got a mate who still keeps/breeds bloods and yeah they can be right nasty b******s, especially the females, he has a room full of

I kept & bred snakes for years - Royals, Boas, Green Tree Pythons, Garters, Bloods etc, had over 200 at one point and that number would increase to 350-400 with hatchlings, didn't matter how long I had kept any individual snake, they are natural predators and as such I never ever trusted any of them, especially on feeding nights.. & if snake wanted you is was having you..LOL, didn't matter how quick I was, snake was always quicker, I've been tagged thousands of times, small stuff doesnt hurt really but if tagged by a Green Tree or a big Blood..I can tell you ,you know about it !!,

Hi, wondering if there was anyone out there willing to share there wisdom on Wildfowling as its something I've never participated in (but never too old to learn). So if there is are any willing people out there just let me know, I'm based in Dunfermline. Thanks, Steve.

I think the mk1 had some issues with zeroing in, the MK2 setting up is more similar to the N750 with the one shot zero system (someone more knowledgeable than I will correct me if I'm wrong),I did have a go on one prior to picking my MK2 up, the one I used hit where it was aiming, so here's hoping I can get mine set up as well once I get home in a couple of weeks from work, link below showing some of the set up for the MK2 that I found on Web (hope it works) https://youtu.be/ra56owg_nvo

Yeah I knew it had to be zeroed into whichever scope you use it on,and adjusted to suit poa etc, I'll only be using it on my 243 that I will use as dedicated night set up, so hopefully that will help elevate any issues once fully set up,it will just stay on there (well that's the plan) along with NM800.
