This is my next favorite Eurasian after E. schrencki and dione. Bimacs are cool little ratsnakes. It's true we're working on a new color phase, we call it "blonde", but remember bimaculata has a small number of eggs. I expect five or six from a clutch, and hope to get two clutches this year.
Ter, as you know, it takes time to start up a new line, especially when you only have one snake, like Glenn's albino. The F1's will all be het. Then you have to raise them up to breed one back to the original. We're doing that with the blonde phase, not really knowing the genetics (hoping to isolate a mutation). We're also doing that with the South Koreans to get two different lines from two different w/c snakes.
This is my 2 yr. old, het for blonde, female, along with a normal in opaque stage. We call her "Sylvester"...
