It seems genuine arcifera are also difficult to come by. A quick search in Google images for L.t. arcifera is laughable. I'm amazed that so little info is out there for such a handsome little snake. In the few examples I've seen of arcifera the females tend to have high crossover in the black bands while the males do not. The two breeders I know of tell me that in their experience this tends to be true.
I'm sure there must be more than two breeders out there so for any of you other arcifera breeders out there... do you also notice the females having a higher tendency for high crossover in the black banding as opposed to males? What are the sizes of our adults. Are small clutches(4-6) also the norm for you? I'd really appreciate any answers... e-mail if you're one who prefers lurking. 
Now for my usual post of the few thing I have...
Trinity, my abnorma, has taken to hanging out in the plants again... perhaps now that the plants are secured with mechanical fasteners rather than duck tape and won't fall off she's more comfortable venturing there again. You (or at least me) gotta love her, as soon as I slid the glass door aside she was poking her head out to see what was going on.
No names for the stuarti yet other than 1 thru 5... here's #3, a female and perhaps the best looking one of them all and certainly the nicest to handle... all the others still musk or bite... #5 is still a rabid/possessed individual given to being unpleasant in every way... a definite keeper!
Again... if you're a breeder/keeper of arcifera I'd really appreciate more details about them as there's damn little out there I believe is factual.
