I am glad to see those ended up with you. They definitely are worthy of being reproduced. It doesn't seem there are a whole lot of them out there.

I happen to know a little bit about that particular pair. The really light one has only turned light in the last year or so. Prior to that, it was darker, but still a gorgeous pimbura. I do not know if this is typical ontogenetic shift for pimburas or if that one has some sort of hypomelanism going on. It will be interesting to see if the darker, presumed sibling, also changes color to be so light. (maybe it already has if the pictures are of both of them. Previously, only one was so light.)

I don't hold out much hope, but it would be nice if our laws here in Florida would change and I could easily own and work with those again. Maybe in years to come, the large python rules will become like the under 4" turtle rules with lax enforcement under the realization that they were never the real solution to any real, imagined, or politicized problems.

I hope you have much breeding success with those.
