Frank, you're right, it's not a common snake. I hope more people try to preserve their genes. I don't think crossing them is bad, however, if you're into that. I'm thinking of breeding my silver female and male emoryi this year, and maintaining that line, then maybe crossing the female with a Miami corn in 2007. I guess I'm trying to make a generic snake that has all the good qualities of several subspecies (of guttatus).



Anyway, I think your snake has a lot of good qualities going for it...good bloodline. Do you think it's CB or W/C? Maybe we can trade some babies someday...heheh.



Later...TC
