Ok, so I'm not good at the whole photography thing, but I still like to take pics of these guys! As usual, I forgot to take the date/time stamp off, so please ignore.

First off is my newest Sonoran. This guy was caught by a buddy of mine about two weeks ago in Casa Grande, AZ. His head and pattern are extremely clean for being a young adult.

Next up is my Table Mesa, AZ Gopher. He has a lot of speckling/blurring on his head and in the pattern, but a nice, clean and almost orangeish tail.

Next is my baby female. She has a darker, but also clean pattern. I'm curious how clean it will stay later on. She was hatched from a wild caught 7'4" female. I really hope she chills out if she's gonna get big like mom...

Here's the hiss.

And the strike!

Last but not least, here is my Amel Sonoran female. She was produced by Scott Potts at Grand Canyon Reptiles. I think I might have managed to finally capture her colors on camera.

BTW, the big guys don't live in those little tubs. I just used them to keep them contained during the photo shoot.

I agree w/ viborero! How big was the snake when found?

reako45

I found him about 2 month ago. I now have 2 wild male Sonoran one about 4' and one about 6.5'. no bitters, no hissers. Eat great from day one on large live rats. Better temperament then some of my corns.

Picture of my Albino sonoran today is day 61. can't wait for them to hatch.
