absolutely, I agree that the wild type animals are quite beautiful and a mixed clutch would offer you the best of both worlds. good luck and let us know what becomes of your project.



PS. I actually had a female deppei lay 31 eggs a few years ago.........darned huge clutch for a Pituophis! Can you image the horror of breeding a het to a visual and having none of the 31 come out hypo.......the breeder would have some serious explaining to do. Last year I was sexing a clutch of 11 black pine hatchlings, male, male, male, male, male, "what's going on here", male, male, male, male, male, female! a near impossibility but it happens!
