Here's a couple of more pics in natural lighting. Also happy to say he took his first rodent this past Friday. Hanover co. Va locality.

Steve,

Nice looking easterns! Did they produce offspring for you? I had gotten some real nice looking West Virgina easterns from Ted Thompson a few years back, they produced one brood of babies. Unfortunately the adults passed and I never held onto any of those babies, wish I had. Included a crappy pic of them.

Thanks Scott. I only have the lone male pictured above. He was given to me last week by a friend that knew I was looking for a normal eastern. I'll most likely use him for native species presentations. Those West Va. locality animals you had were beautiful. Maybe someone that purchased some of those babies from you will breed those West Va. easterns and keep those lines going.

He looks good...
I've been seeing so many of these guys this year... I guess thats thanks to a warm winter... Almost stepped on one the other day not watchin were I was walkin tryin to carry the beer to the swimming hole... I was kind of suprised that the ones I've seen really don't seem to be concerned with seeing people...
