So here are the founders of my own breeding program. The two normals are really just pets since there isn't much point in producing more normals, unless we get a Caramel Albino or a male Pied we could produce 100% hets from as an outcross.

We still have a small enough collection to name our snakes, but I am sure those will degrade into code like M12009Past or something. For now though we have been giving them names of royalty, for laughs.



Krispin, male normal (we think). He was rescued from a chap who was going to release him in a golf course.





Bathilda, female normal (we think). Acquired from a high school science teacher who was leaving. New teacher didn't want her. Age, lineage, etc unknown.





Krispin and Bathilda together. He is a nice, dark chestnut color with very few spots (even when not mid-shed). Almost Woma-ish? She is higher contrast grey-tan and black. Is there usually this much variation in normals? I honestly haven't seen that many *normal* BPs.





Cerridwen. Marvelous 400 gram female pastel from Jim Stelpflug. She's our garbage disposal. And apparently didn't want to hold still for this.





Piper. The Pied Piper, that is. Not a queen but aptly named considering where she is leading us. Pretty low-white female from Mark Venhorst. She's a little thin and a trouble eater, but worth it :D





We also have a male Pastel Het Pied from NERD and a female Cinnamon from Eric Sandoval we need to take delivery on.
