>>That being said...I would strongly advise against trying to breed her with any of the Lampropeltis getula. (cal king / blotched / brooksi etc) unless you are willing to risk her getting eaten.



My plan now is to breed her to another Pyro.



I guess hybridization is just not on my horizon any time soon. I'm sending her back to the original breeder, who will breed her with one of his males, and I'll be picking up a hatchling pyro male from the breeder also.



I'm not disappointed, as I don't really think I have the patience and ingenuity to hybridize. But that's fine, as I feel that I've done okay with the "pure" species.... Bred two clutches this year, out of 8 eggs from my cal king female I got 8 hatchlings (one died due to a severe hernia through the umbilical area), and from my blotched king I had 8 eggs, plus one slug, and got 8 good hatchlings.



Anyway, I like to think about the hybrids, and don't mind reading about them, but alas, I don't think that they are for me.



Thanks for the input everyone.
