Yes Keith. I was at Peter's table in Richmond, chatting with him and Zee. I happened to look down and see this good looking Currituck he had for sale, and I snatched him up. He had told me this was one of your Easterns. He's a beauty. I love that distinctive letter Y behind his head.
Anyway, I was checking out your website to see if maybe some of those currituck Easterns posted on there were his parents and/or siblings. If you get a chance Keith, I'd love to hear a little about this particular line of Currituck Easterns of yours. Adult size, colors, etc.

Yeah I remember that guy specifically as he had that cool neck pattern. Those snakes came from a guy in Virginia who sent me the 2.1 adults and the whole clutch of 9 babies. The adults were 4' or so and Im not sure what male sired the young as he kept them all together in one big enclosure I guess. I sold them off as I just had too many adults to handle.

Here are the males...

Thanks Keith for the photos and information. Hard to say which male is the sire, but if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say the second male has a pattern more on line to what mine has.
The chain pattern on my little one looks nice & white, with a touch of color on the sides. Looks like from one of his siblings on your website, they might have started out with a bit more color, and now as they are getting older, the chain pattern is getting more and more white.
