Nice Brb's.
Do you have a pic of your African egg eater ?
I was wondering how large he/she is ?
I have a friend with a small one that eats finch eggs (he has a pair of zebra finches for the purpose)as well, but he got a few bird eggs from someone that were 5 times larger then a finch egg and it ate it with ease. Depending on the size of your egg eater you may have noticed he eats those finch eggs with ease.
Please post a pic of your Dasypeltis.
>>Hi all -
>>guess I'm technically a newbie on this forum, although I did post a few months ago with some frantic worried-mother type questions (thanks to everyone who answered me!)
>>I'm a college student in TN, and have fallen in good graces with the biology department at my university allowing me to keep my three snakes in the science building. Currently I have 1.1 BRB (Radio and Audrey) and 1.0 African egg eater (Loki) who's proving a challenge, as he's still on finch eggs, but is about the cutest thing you'll ever see.
>>I'm posting with a question/observation about pattern morphs... Since Radio is the only BRB I've seen in person until my first reptile show a few weeks ago (when I got Audrey) I thought he was the norm. I was totally surprised when Audrey's breeder pointed out her crescents to me, but a little research upon my return home explained why: Radio is a complete eclipse - not even a speck of color in his side spots (I'll try to get a few pics up later).
>>Is this a particularly special or rare morph, and how genetic is it? Is it something bred for, or a luck-of-the-draw type thing? I wish I had a little more info about Radio's background, but I got him as a birthday gift (he's about 9 months old now).

>>(The first pic is Audrey, the second 2 are Radio - they're not great quality, but you can see his patterning)
