that's good news,and a very pretty snake....you know regarding coastals i have always insisted on keeping mine locale-specific/pure/etc...otherwise i would have bought some of those hypos when you had them for sale last year tony-they are very nice looking...but i decided to go with pure a 100% calvert county specimen-and after losing him to a somewhat drawn out battle with what manifested itself as a respiratory condition,i can't help but wonder if a non-specific animal would have warded it off,or even developed it to begin with...i have the frozen specimen in my freezer,and noticed a black rotten spot down in the snakes upper abdominal tract,say 2/3 the way down his body...i generally feel people put too much on the new bloodlines theory,but these fossorial guys may be one of the few cases where it rings true,the need for 'fresh blood' due to such longtime specific linebreeding.
