This little guy came out this morning, I still might get a few more this year. After some trouble with earlier cluches I let these dry out for a week or two, it seems to have worked.

Great looking hatchling Jim.. Please post up the rest when they are all out..

Jimbo, I don't see hints of River Road in there do I????? Never seen a Juno with diamonds before. Maybe it's a genetic variation of a River Road without the speckling???? Too wierd man.

I don't think so Wayne, The snake was from a female I produced in 2003 from my w.c. s curve and a seven generations stock juno road. The father of this snake is one I hatched in 2002 from a female juno from Gerry S. and the same seven generations stock male. Here is the mother I will post the father next.

Here is the father.

.....and here is the mothers mother, she is pure s curve.

and the grandfather (on both sides)

....This is the fathers mother, a juno from Gerry S. I believe these are all pure juno road, no river road here.

I like that dark one!!

That snake there would be the one that carries the "gene" for the diamond look I would say. I have never seen a Juno look even like this one. Makes me think. None the less, great looking snakes!

another example of the genetics involved in this species....whatta snake...eh???....good job on that back ground check....i thought we were going to end up in that article by tanzier re the mixed-morph clutch from that wild caught juno alterna morph.......

Wayne, I see a striking similarity with this hatchling to a photo in the alterna page image gallery (photo 420 by Troy Hibbitts)don't you agree?

Let me check that out and I'll let ya know!
