No red, really...solid black snakes with a lot of white under the chin and throat and on their cheeks...a little salmon suffusion on the sides of the throat. In the sunlight, you can see that they have a little reddish/brownish tint to the tail. They look to me more like Easterns than any of the other subspecies, but they obviously aren't Easterns.



I have no earthly idea which stock they came from. They guy I got them from thought they were Texans and sold them to me as such. They are, however, very nice animals...very large and solid and amazing feeders. The male is somewhere around 7 feet, the female a little smaller at maybe 6 feet.



I'll have new pictures soon. I'm setting up to photograph all of my Drymarchon. It's sort of a big production for me...I have to get all of the background material together, set up the stage, run off test shots..make adjustments..run a final shoot. It takes a few days...plus sometimes, they just don't wanna pose....
