Yeah, you can get a fairly good idea from the parents and other siblings produced, but as you know, it is virtually impossible to know for certain what a hatchling snake will ultimately become.

I agree also about the fact that possibly some bug-eyed snakes may not seem that pronounced in the beginning, but it seems that the goofy looking bug-eyes might even intensify to some degree later as the snake matures once in a while. Hard to say for sure, but it "seemed" to be the case in one animal I raised once. Don't know if it was because the snake was so small and was less noticable, or what. But I know I didn't like it at ALL as it got older..LOL!

The one animal was sort of light to moderately bugeyed, and was far less so than many, but still, I don't care for the tandem trait AT ALL!..LOL!

The female pictured above that I posted in the defensive position had very normal eyes, and she was great looking,...but just about as mean as the devi himself!
