Ivan,

My previous Korean dione hatched at 29-30 days also. I think they were a little too warm this last time. This year's hatchlings averaged 8.2 grams.

Nazza's photo snake definitely looks like dione to me. I think it is a classic Chinese dione with the reddish head and the wide dorsal light stripe. The bimaculata seem to have a smaller, gentler face too. They can look a lot like bimaculata though when they come from the same general area.

PS: Ivan, can you tell me where the 'nigritas' are from? You have bred these?

TC
