Laura,
..Those three look good to me. The 06 male will likely turn out to be the most intensely rec colored of the three but he could also eventually become darker and less pretty than the two girls.

Thank you very much for your opinion. What do you look for pattern wise? Do you think that they are nice enought to be breeders in the future? If not i will not be offended! The dealer that I bought the 04 female told me that her mother was het anery but who really knows! Thank you again and I realy value your opinion!

Laura,
...Those are definitely keepers for future breeding. I look for bright neon looking crescents above the spots on the sides. The colors can change some as they age but bright crescents like yours have will usually stay with the snake for life.

that last female is really nice

They should make some nice breeders for you some day. My fav is the male. It looks like he has good contrast between the saddles and background with bold, black markings that are well defined. I also like his crescents. They're very symmetrical.

Nice!! That male is amazing, I'm jealous! Please continue to share pictures, I'm curious to see how their colors change as they grow.
