Thanks for sharing these. The female melanistic looks very nice and the babies are interesting. A couple have terrific head patterns and some nice black heads there as well on the milksnake phase. I was surprised to see that the leonis ones all have a very similar and nearly circular open nuchal as my clutch last year from the same basic pairing of adults... melanistic female X leonis male. That's a classic and original trait. Seems like the offspring I've seen from a melanistic parent all have a very wild-type look.

Thanks again, pretty cool.

OK I think my picks are #6 from the second clutch, and #3 from the third clutch, but they are all nice looking. Thanks for the pics. Beautiful animals.
