thanks for the pics and thanks for sharing. Did you weigh her before you bred her out of curiosity?

Male Coastal, so much in fact, they look related color and pattern wise. NICE snakes!!!!!!!!!! Coastal's have a lot of variation in color, and that is one of the few I have seen that look identical to mine.

...those pics stink! Lol just kidding man. Great shots...I especially like the "Okeetee"(that doesn't look like an Okeetee to me...more like a blood red). I still have yet to see the day where I have a breeding pair of something(hopefully the amazing CRB or northern black racers).

Thanks for sharing!

Great PICs. Your BRB looks gravid for sure. Your Carpet PIC reminded me of my Carpets. This one is a big JCP that laid three clutches in the 90s when I had male JCPs. This clutch was in 2004 when she was bred by a male Diamond Python. There were 22 good eggs in this clutch including one with twins.

rememberable .... was breeding two hets together ( albino Black, Yellow, and Everglade intergraded rat snakes ) and all the neonates hatched out as Albinos, against the "odds" kind of scenario, so I am willing to bet that the opposite results could also happen with no albinos being produced, which in turn, could lead one to think their snake or snakes where not het albino from the get go, perhaps some pos hets out there are actual hets, this would be because of the possible variability in reproductive results. Probably not a common occurrence, but it is obvious to me, such results could and have been produced. Funny, I liked the het albinos looks better than the albino offspring that where produced. I do not have any photos of the resulting albinos, I do have a pic of one of the non albino "bubblegum" adults and also a blotchless Everglades that was breed into the bloodline before I sold it to "another rat snake fanatic". I remember selling neonate reticulated pythons, Brazilian rainbow boas and yes "cheap" rat snakes at a show in Hamburg Pennsylvania way back in the day.........I sold ( rat snakes ) some for a meager 5 dollars a piece LOL

Blotchless Everglades Ratsnake.......

het Intergrade........

So, we're working on this theory that BRBs give birth 105 - 110 days after a post-ovulatory shed. Do you have the date of the female's last shed?
