What I'd really like to see is a pic of that possible het you got. She was a smokin little neonate.

I'll get you a picture of both that one and the hypo female that you sold me.

The hypo is much nicer than the other two hypos that I have from other breeders.

So is that an adult or a baby or sub adult?
I really like that!!! I have not seen many pics but have heard about them.
How are they in terms of care?

IF you don't use or scent with lizards to start neonates they become robust rodent feeders and are pretty straight forward otherwise they will likely imprint on lizards and only take rodents reluctantly. You do need to feed them well during the spring and summer because they tend to go off feed early (late August or early September).

In terms of getting neonates started they tease feed very easily and given two meals a week for about six eight weeks they generally achieve enough size to start taking small f/t pink. Relative to alterna and zonata temporalis is a breeze!

I bring my animals up February first and breeding starts in earnest within a week. Females seem to prefer a sandy mix to nest in. Here I'm using 2 parts shredded coconut shell to one part play sand.

So most likely, any of these snakes would go off feed in Aug. and Sept. like clockwork?

What is their size as adults? You have a pic of an adult you can share?

Thank you for your information Tony!

I wouldn't say like clockwork but its pretty regular that they stop. Generally, when I come back from Daytona its rare that I'll have a coastal take another meal. The exception is that younger animals will feed right through their first.

My animals have been maxing out at about 26, 27" but I've seen other stock that get over 30”.

One other thing about coastals is that they are exceedingly frustrating to photograph! Its not that they are squirmy or that they bolt but they just will not keep still on a set. I'm working on some pics of adults. I'll post some once a have a few good ones.

Yeah, I would love to see an adult example!

Thanks Tony!
