"One of the characteristics of this subspecies(P.d.deppei) is their incredable variability. In a 1990's article published in Vivarium the authors coined the term "variable pine snake". I have hatched absolute black and white animals, animals with banana green ground color, individuals with blazing orange tails and pinkish heads, etc. all from the same parents!"

I can certainly agree with this statement totally, having also hatched many varied looking P.d.deppei offspring all from the same pairings.

My original/founding deppei and jani stock originate from Lloyd Lemke.I imported them in 1997 and i believe Lemke got his from legal wild caught stock collected by Kardon and/or Limburg.
