Kerby,

Very nice! I noticed on the neonate's head they all have a yellow dot, I do not notice this on the parents, why would they get this spot? The reason I ask is because my Hypo Lav Cal King has the very same spot and have yet to find another with it.

beautiful morphs! Out of curiosity, are the snakes a little "nervous" and that's the reason for the gloves?

I only ever owned one Cal. King but from what I understand once they are older they calm down. My snake isn't nervous he just has a crazy feeding response and thinks anything is food so I use the glove for his protection as well as my own, once he realizes I am not a food item the gloves can come off.

Ah, that's good he has such an awesome feeding response. They do calm down as they get older, that's true. Also regular gentle handling really helps them to know the difference between "coming out to play" and being fed.

Most cal kings have it.

Kerby,

It was the lighting on the fist pic that I didn't notice the spot, however the head of the neonates just like mine is cleaner with just a spot, it doesn't have the yellow on the head they all are mostly brown. Yours is the typical head pattern I see at shows normally lacking the spot or very small. I hope that makes sense.
