It's funny that you and Eric made mention of this; these were the only two incidences of "dwarfism" with any of my eastern indigo breedings. And, these two, if my records are correct, came from the same clutch. I kept back one female from that same clutch who is a monster....really weird. Could be genetics, temperatures fluctuations, may never know. BUT, as Mike mentioned, these still turn out to be wonderful animals; Mike's as a pet and another at a museum in Alabama who absolutely LOVES this animal for their education programs. Happy endings.

>>I have an adult female with this same appearence. She seems to be a "dwarf" but is still a wonderfull snake. Thanks Rob!
>>I will never attempt to breed her as I don't think she would be able to pass eggs. She has no problem passing digested mice though! LOL
