>>The snake pictured is a 4 yr old female that is about 3.5 ft in length, she produced five big eggs this season. I agree she does look small in that photo. I like the gray color of the ones you have.

Ahhh, interesting regards the size, I have had females of that age and size that had fully lost their neonate patterning. The silver female pictured was around 4.5-5ft, as were most of my collection. Unfortunately none of the offspring were ever retained, so I have no knowledge of whether or not it was an inheritable trait, although I suspect that it isn't that common an event. In those times, I knew few people who would have been interested in scalaris so I generally didn't attempt breeding at all. I have none of her line and no more 'silver' examples of this species in my collection anymore, mores the pity!

Congrats once again John, many thanks for the answers. I love scalaris above all other animals, in case you were wondering! LOL.

Oh, have you ever experienced a double clutch? I had one this season and its the first in all the time I have kept them that I know of. The female wasn't reintroduced to the male after laying so it will be interesting to see the fertility of the resultant 10 eggs.
